Facebook 3.0.1 for iPhone — With Bug Fixes! — Now in the App Store

Every week a few of us from team TiPb, bloggers and forum crew alike, will bring you our current favorite, funnest, most useful App Store apps, WebApps, jailbreak apps, even the occasional accessory, web site, or desktop app if the mood strikes us. As long as they’re iPhone (or iPod touch) related, they’re fair game.

So who’s on deck this week and what are our picks? Find out after the break!

Chad’s Pick: Alive 4-ever

Alive 4-ever is the latest zombie erradication game for the iPhone! You can choose between different characters, level them up and buy equiment and weapons. The game borrow heavily from iDracula, but really takes it to another level with its customization options. If you love blowing away zombies with added depth and customizations, check out Alive 4-ever! [$0.99 - iTunes link]

Chris’ Pick: TapDefense

This tower defender game is entertaining and FREE! Try to prevent various demons and other underworld minions from entering Heavan with well placed archer towers, canon towers, and more! With a variety of game boards, modes, and goals you can mix and match to create a wide array of game options. It is add supported (and includes two new towers that you can only get my “filling out a offer”) but even on the basic level it is still good for passing the time. [Free - iTunes link]

Jeremy’s Pick: UFC

Not home to watch the fights? The UFC app has you covered — stream live events directly from your iPhone via 3G or WiFi. (Normal ppv fee does apply) – [$0.99 - iTunes link]

Justin’s Pick: Facebook 3.0

I’m not that big of a Facebook user as Twitter consumes most of my social networking time. I think I use Twitter more because I really love social networking “on the go” vs sitting in front of my computer and the pre 3.0 app version was pretty awful. Before this version my main interaction with Facebook was via selective Twitter updates, but now the Facebook app is fun to use again and will pull some time away from Twitter. [Free - iTunes link]

Leanna’s Pick: Facebook 3.0

As you probably know, Facebook for iPhone got a huge update this week. Finally, I can visit Facebook on my iPhone without any feelings of anger! Notifications are no longer a disaster and it’s just a quick tap to “like” a post. For the past couple months, my Facebook usage (both on iPhone and computer) has gone down, but with Facebook 3.0, I’m back in business! [Free - iTunes link]

Rene’s Pick #1: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

Had. To. Be. Picked. No, not because it’s refined or enhanced, but simply because with Snow Leopard Apple Shows that, as much as OS X helped make the iPhone (and iPod touch) OS, all the work that’s gone into optimization and UI for the iPhone is being brought back to the Mac as well. Win. Win. From the compressed files that take up less space, to QuickTime X and its trim and share features, to ActiveSync support for Exchange, the iPhone’s tiny footprints are all over this big cat and gosh darnit, that just makes us proud. [$29.99 - Apple Store link]

Rene’s Pick #2: Brushes 2.0

The original Brushes, a finger-painting wonder for the iPhone and iPod touch, gained attention when it was used to make the cover for the New Yorker. Deservedly so. Brushes 2.0, however, says “meh!” at it’s predecessor and ups the finger-painting ante with layers, a better brush panel, and more powerful zoom. If you want to let your inner iPhone artist out, give this a whirl. Or a dap. Or any stroke you feel like! [$4.99 - iTunes link]

Facebook 3.0 for iPhone Now in iTunes App Store

Facebook engineer and — more importantly to us — Facebook iPhone (and iPod touch) app developer Joe Hewitt announced on Twitter that he:

Just uploaded Facebook for iPhone 3.0 to the App Store for review. [...] I’ll be posting more details and screen shots to the app’s page on Facebook this week

Here’s the Facebook page if you want to follow along, and we’re guessing a lot of you do based on how many tweeted and sent this our way! (Thanks everyone!)

UPDATE: AppAdvice has a preview up if you want to see more.

REMINDER: No push notification in Facebook 3.0, that’s road mapped for 3.1, which the developer will be starting work on next…

Facebook 3.0 (Sans Push) for iPhone Submitted to iTunes App Store

Whether the idea of push notification for the iPhone Facebook app makes you want to do a happy dance, or just run screaming for the delete button, according to a recently published note, you won’t be getting it in the 98% completed Facebook 3.0 anyway:

Push Notifications, is in development but it won’t make it into 3.0. You can expect it in a 3.1 update later this summer.

So what will Facebook 3.0 bring? The “new” news feed, ability to “like” status, events with rsvp, notes, pages, better photo management and browsing, a new home screen, fixed comment notifications, SMS and call from friends screen, and auto-save so incoming calls don’t kill your unfinished messages.
