Early this morning, Facebook has released an official app for the iPad. This event was waited for a long time. iPhone-version of the program has become the most popular application in the App Store. Therefore, many had hoped that with the release of the iPad release a social network application, adapted to the tablet PC.
Tangible outlines Facebook for iPad began to take in the spring. Then some tehnoblogi not only posted screenshots of the application, but also told the owners jailbroken devices can test the program. Then there were rumors that the FB announces a new application on one of their epplovskih keynoutov, but eventually the release occurred without reference to some events.
Facebook for iPad offers all the functionality you expect from the official client. You can update your status, upload photos, Chekina, follow the news of friends.
Application actively uses gestures. Swipe from left to right in landscape mode opens a sidebar where you can get access to news, messages, calendar (Events), the list of friends, your pages and applications. Vzmahivanie right opens a list of friends with whom you can chat right now. Photos can be scaled Pinch.
Facebook for iPad for many will be the most frequently used applications. The fact that there is no need to leave it. Even links in the tape messages are opened in the embedded browser. I'm sure many users will spend their time only in this program.
The program is interesting from a technical point of view. The application supports Airplay technology that allows you to broadcast video aypada to other devices - for example, a TV via AppleTV.
As you know, Facebook itself many years ago opened the API, allowing third-party developers to create applications. As it is being accessed from the Facebook for iPad? It was found a curious decision. If an application written by programmers for Facebook, there is a version for iOS, Facebook for iPad program will start it up. If such application is not installed on your iPads, but there is in the App Store, Facebook for iPad opens the corresponding page in the Apple store. For example, a long time ago I was set Yelp in social network Facebook. When I tried to start it with the iPad-application, open the page in the App Store, where I was able to install the native application. And what will happen if the application developer for Facebook has not released the program for iOS? In this case, Facebook for iPad will try, if possible, open HTML5-version of this app.
Exit Facebook for iPad - is not the only news. Also popular social networking application for iPhone updated and greatly improve the mobile site.
