At last the users of iPhone will have even lesser to complain about the Facebook app as it finally got the much awaited Push Notification feature. While the 3.0 version of the application was nothing short of impressive it did lose out on not having the feature. The major reason being that users had to keep the app running in order get updates but that will no longer be  the case.

I am glad that Apple has taken the pain to get rid of its right grip on apps and enabled the feature. Users will now be able to get notifications without the need to keep the app open, which means it can run in the background and they can continue to receive updates on statuses, etc from friends. This sums up to state that you will now have to access the app when there is an update. Other than that, the new version of Facebook app comes with a better sync feature to help you sync your friends on the social network much more efficiently with the address book on your iPhone. I guess many of you who had been hating Apple for keeping the feature out, would actually be happier now.
