iPhone users who like the Facebook app and upgraded to version 3.1.1 have found that there are issues with the new version. Users are getting error messages when they comment on pics.

Facebook 3.0 for the iPhone is now available on the App Store. The new version adds features that have been missing like landscape mode, the ability to see upcoming events and RSVP, and more.

You can now upload video directly from the iPhone 3Gs and manage photo albums. Zoom is now supported for images on the site. The only thing missing is push notification support, which isn’t working yet. Facebook has said that the push notifications are a bit away.

According to Patrickj of Just Another iPhone Blog:

Your own main timeline – which for some reason is placed below a general ‘Everyone’ view on the main sections page of the app – offers a good summary view of posts from people you subscribe to, as shown in the screencap at the top of this post.  As you browse this view, you can easily use one tap on the main body of a post of interest to jump to that individual post, or tap the blue arrow at the right of a post to view it in an inline browser.

TechCrunch writes:

That means that shortly, we’ll have access to the much-improved app which is scheduled to have features such as a News Feed that is more like the one on Facebook’s site, the ability to “like” items and a new customizable home screen. More importantly, it will also have video support for the iPhone 3GS, something which Hewitt threw-in at the last second, unexpectedly. And perhaps best of all, the app will have the ability to manage events, finally.

Hewitt explains the new features:

1. The “new” News Feed
2. Like
3. Events (including the ability to RSVP)
4. Notes
5. Pages
6. Create new photo albums
7. Upload photos to any album
8. Zoom into photos
9. Easier photo tagging
10. Profile Pictures albums
11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
13. Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call
