As rumored the past couple of days, Facebook has just announced its new location-based feature which is simply called “Places.” The new feature is supposed to be out in the latest update of the Facebook iPhone app ,and also on touch.mobile.com if you are using a mobile device that supports HTML5 and geolocation, such as the iPad. Based on the name alone, you probably have an idea already what Facebook Places is all about, but let’s enumerate the features still.

After a short wait, Apple has reviewed and accepted the Facebook 3.0 App Store application for user in the general public. This update brings many features that the Facebook website has had for a while, and changes the interface dramatically…in a good way. Overall, it is a great improvement upon the older application, which I found to be buggy and feature-lacking at times, in comparison to updates on the website.
