Apple's iTunes store is now hosting the latest version of Facebook's iPhone App. Facebook version 2.0 offers iPhone users functions that many felt were missing from the original offering. The biggest upgrades come via interactions with the social networking site, making navigating through friends, pictures and comment threads feel more like using the site through the Web.

The Facebook App version 2.0 claims to launch more quickly than its predecessors and boasts stability as one of its biggest improvements. This is especially important for iPhone users who felt the application lumbering along while it tried to load a large number of friends.

Apple iPhone users can also look forward to the full news feed and news feed comments. The Facebook news feed was one of the initial developments that made the social networking site so popular with users. By bringing that capability to the iPhone, Facebook is offering one of its core elements to users on the go.

One feature that was surprisingly lacking from the initial incarnation of the iPhone app was the friend request feature. Users couldn't search for people they knew or accept friend requests that had been sent to them. Version 2.0 fixes this flaw.

The photo capabilities on Facebook are also significantly upgraded. Users can now tag photos and upload photo captions to their network from the iPhone.

The last noteworthy upgrade involves communication on the site. With Facebook iPhone App version 2.0, users can access their inbox and include message attachments to their outgoing e-mails.

Facebook version 2.0 for the Apple iPhone is now available for download from the iTunes store.
