“We just exposed the awesome secret that Facebook’s iPad app is actually already out there, hidden inside of the iPhone app,” MG Siegler reports for TechCrunch.
“I’ve been playing with the app for much of the night, and it seems solid,” Siegler reports. “We’ve just talked to a source who had previous seen the app and says that this is in fact the app Facebook was intending to launch shortly.”

“After months of downplaying the importance of having an iPad app, and instead playing up HTML5, Facebook has clearly spent some time working on this,” Siegler reports. “At the same time, it is an HTML5-rich experience, with things like the News Feed being populated this way. But other things, like image uploads simply cannot be done without native code at this time.”
Siegler reports, “At the end of the day, would I use this app over the full website, which functions pretty well on the iPad already? Absolutely. I cannot wait for this app to actually launch.”

I wonder how much he got paid to write that review
1 billion dollars what do you think?
Siegler gushes like a little girl. His article should begin with, “Dear Diary.”
Gushing like a little girl is, perhaps, the preferred tone to communicate effectively (and be a hipster) to the fAndroids and the LOLerskatez!
Facebook’s secret iPad app is the FacePon, the tampon you stick up your nostrils.
If you’re a registered developer, change the UIDeviceFamily to 2 to get the iPad app.
” I cannot wait for this app to actually launch.”
I can. Since I’m not on Facebook.
Guess I’m a social luddite.
Yeah that’s pretty weird.
Yeah, totally weird. RePlay, you should learn to have your full name out there in everything all the time like Mr. Michael A. Robson, whose entire life is open the whole internet at http://cn.linkedin.com/pub/michael-a-robson/6/17/152
