Facebook’s iPhone app gets a major update

Today Facebook gave its iPhone app a major boost with contact syncing to your phone’s address book. It pulls down the Facebook profile pic and adds it to your contact. So now when your phone rings their mugshot gets displayed. I guess this leaves the (very buggy) FriendSync app with no reason to exist.

The other cool (or maybe irritating) new feature is Push Notifications. So now your phone will display a notification message every time a Facebook friend comments, likes, tags you or any other event. It could be useful for being alerted to those inappropriate comments some friends make, or better still, being alerted to bad photo tag!
