It has been the equivalent of waiting for Bigfoot. Bloggers
had seen it. Developers said they had worked on it. Facebook denied its
existence. Everyone else just wanted to know if it was real.
It’s the Facebook application for the iPad, which is finally
out in the wild for everyone to prod, pinch and interact with.
After months of speculation and false alarms, Facebook said
Monday that its official iPad application was available as a free download from
the Apple App Store.
The app will likely benefit Apple and Facebook. Although the
iPad is the biggest-selling tablet on the market, some consumers are not
convinced they need it and opt for less expensive tablets. Seeing a slick
Facebook app could convince people to choose an iPad over competitors, as there
is no Facebook app specifically tailored for tablets running Google’s Android
software.
