I have installed Facebook for ipad last night and have tested it using only my 3g network.
was able to check in quite fast but some pages or tabs like browsing photos, newsfeeds took quite a long while and then it crashed several times. Maybe that's why it's called "LEAKED"??lolx!
Anyways, I took the liberty of taking a short video ...Check it out and don't forget to share your thoughts and experience below.

Facebook 'fatigue' strikes as millions shut accounts globally
London, June 14 (ANI): Privacy threats and fatigue has led 1lakh Britons and six million users in the US to shut down their Facebook accounts, with the same pattern expected to follow in other countries too.
Facebook's growth rate has slowed for a second month in a row, ironically, when the social networking site was aiming to reach its goal of one billion active users.
Canada saw a fall of about 1.5 million users of the website, while in Russia and Norway numbers fell by more than 100,000 users.
The company is now relying on developing countries to boost its numbers.
Blogs are abuzz with speculations that the website could one day 'sputter into oblivion,' fearing the fate of its failing rival MySpace.
There is a point at which the site can no longer grow, once it has established itself in a country, according to Eric Eldon, from the website 'Inside Facebook', which obtained the figures.
"By the time Facebook reaches around 50 pc of the total population in a given country, growth generally slows to a halt," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.
Internet psychologist Graham Jones has predicted that Facebook users would suffer the same kind of 'fatigue' that comes whenever men and women get bored with trying anything that is new.
"People get terribly excited about something new and after a while the novelty wears off," he explained. (ANI)

Facebook founder changes his status to 'in a relationship'
London, March 25 (ANI): Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has finally confirmed that he has been dating Priscilla Chan for the past seven years.
The 26-year-old has updated his Facebook status to 'in a relationship' to reflect the fact he is taken, reports the Daily Mail.
He added that the change had been "long overdue" but did not explain why he had waited so long.
Observers, however, have noted that often when couples become "in a relationship" on the social network and "engaged" status soon follows.
Zuckerberg and Chan, a Chinese-American from the Boston suburbs, started seeing each other when they were both studying at Harvard University.
Following the new update, Chan's Facebook page also revealed that the pair started their relationship on November 7, 2003, just days after Zuckerberg's infamous Facemash stunt at Harvard.
He was nearly expelled from the university after hacking into different colleges' websites and taking pictures of all the female students, placing them next to each other and asking other students to 'rate' their attractiveness. (ANI)

Delta Airlines Lets Customers Check In ; Get Flight Status via Facebook
Delta Airlines customers can now check in to flights on the company’s Facebook app.
From the Ticket Counter application, Delta customers starting today can now check SkyMiles and preview what amenities are available for various flights, too. Delta launched its its app back in August, at which time it was the first airline to allow users to book flights through the social network.
Delta also has mobile apps for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry that let users check in for flights, or get the status of a flight or gate number. However, the integration with Facebook means that it’s one less place some users will need to visit.
Using the app, which was developed by 8thBridge, boarding passes can be printed from the Facebook, just like on the website. Delta also lets users share details about their travel plans or itineraries with users over Facebook. For people who check Facebook more often than e-mail, this is a great way to share flight or trip details.
We really like the fact that you can log in to your SkyMiles account, buy tickets and print boarding passes from Facebook. But we would love to see true integration between a SkyMiles account and Facebook — in other words, an option to connect the two systems. I almost never remember my SkyMiles number, but if the two were linked, I could log in with my PIN and last name and be on my way.
Do you like the idea of checking into a flight using Facebook? Would you check in to a flight on Facebook?

Facebook "Places"
Finally! Facebook "Places" is active in Singapore!
Some of my friends have been asking me on how to do this so I thought it's cool to add this little tutorial in here.
First, you need to make sure your Location services is active or been turned on.
To check, go to "Settings" in your iphone.
Click "General" then activate "Location Services to On".
You will have options which app you want to activate the service. I only chose few iphone apps like geo-location services app FourSquare and Gowalla because it drains alot of my iphone's battery.
You can now goto your Facebook profile and click "Places".
Enjoy your journey!:)

Facebook is NOT Shutting Down March 15
Ok everyone. Don't panic. Got this news from Mashable few hours ago.
There’s a silly rumor exploding on the Internet this weekend, alleging that Facebook is shutting down on March 15 because CEO Mark Zuckerberg “wants his old life back,” and desires to “put an end to all the madness.”
We’re seeking confirmation from Facebook, but until we get the official word, let’s think about this for a minute. Would Facebook announce a shutdown just a few days after announcing a round of funding, consisting of $450 million from Goldman Sachs and $50 million from Russian investment firm Digital Sky Technologies, on a valuation of $50 billion?
The spurious report was started by a site to which we refuse to link, known for its reports of impending attacks of alien spaceships and false reports of a Michelle Obama pregnancy.
The fact that this absurd hoax spread so efficiently makes us wonder: Will people believe anything?
As soon as we hear from Facebook, we’ll update this post.
