It’s the greatest combination since peanut butter and chocolate came together to form the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.  With this new release, Facebook and the iPad are closer friends.

This new friendship makes it easier for fat fingered users like myself to use the full functionality of Facebook on the iPad.

Facebook Ipad App User Features

• Photos and video can now be taken, tagged and posted to your newsfeed within the app and can be viewed at full scale on your iPad or through airplay-if you have Apple TV.
• Improved content sharing without visiting your inbox.
• Integrated gaming allows for full screen gameplay and enhanced notification features.
• Friend check-ins can now be tracked on a global map via the Nearby feature.
• Access to your messages, requests and notifications can now happen without losing your place in the timeline.

Facebook iPad App Developer and Marketing Features

• App specific actions can now be automatically added to a user’s timelines once they select the option.
• Users will be able to tap a notification and be routed to the appropriate version, be it mobile or native iOS, through a new request dialog for seamless integration between devices.
• Bookmarks will automatically be updated as users access the app.
• Users will be able to search for your app even if they have not logged into it previously.
• Facebook credits will allow for payments within the app via mobile platform.

I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone starts to implement and take advantage of the new app features.  What features would you still like to see? What do you think they did successfully?
