Whether Facebook for iPad Will Be Released or Not
Business Insider looked into the matter and now reveals that the app had been done for months. Verkoeyen is said to have put “a ton of time into it.” Verkoeyen said in a blog post he recently edited that his iPad app was feature-complete in May. Facebook, however, kept pushing its release out every other two weeks. Verkoeyen now thinks it “may never be released,” according to the report.
The iPad has been around for more than a year and a half yet, to this day, users only have third-party apps that facilitate connecting to the social network on the go to view profiles, add friends, post comments etc. But none of these solutions delver the complete experience (not to mention the support). Bottom line: users lack an official iPad app from Facebook.
It is being speculated that the main reason behind this approach (to hold back the iPad client) is a rumored dispute between the two giant companies. Apple is reportedly concerned that Facebook’s web-as-platform will pose risks to the iPhone and iPad in the future(iphone and ipad truly offer us much convenience , they also bring many business and software, such as professional video to ipad converter , iphone video converter ,etc). Facebook, for its part, may be pushing to make iDevices less relevant in the future, which would explain its decision to halt development on the iPad app.
But for now, all we know is that the guy in charge with the Facebook iPad client was so upset his employer put the kibosh on his work that he actually resigned. That means there’s quite a lot of stuff we don’t yet know about what disruptions may emerge from the launch of an officially supported Facebook app for Apple’s iPad. And as clients , our biggest wish is that Facebook for ipad can be released, then we can transfer movies to ipad from Facebook, enjoy all facebook apps on ipad, it will be both success.
