New Facebook iPhone Application Launches, Adds Notifications And Contact Sync

This evening the new Facebook iPhone application went live in the iTunes application directory. The new features are push notifications and contact sync. There are a number of notifications that you can receive, however you’d probably want to customize them as to avoid getting overwhelmed with constant updates. I’ve had the opportunity to play with the application for the past couple hours and I like what I’ve seen so far. Surprisingly my contacts also loaded immediately, something that the last version was having issues with.
