On: Facebook for iPad

> However, the proliferation of native 3rd party apps meant that users weren't using the browser to get to Facebook and that may have led Facebook to finally decide to release the app.

or it could just be that the Safari on the iPad doesn't let you upload photos to the largest photo sharing website out there (Facebook).

I suspect the reason it took 18 months is because Facebook was waiting to figure out where the iPad fits into the ecosystem.

I don't think your reason makes any sense. If it was true, where do you think they ended up with it?

Facebook was deliberately dragging its heals for some reason, maybe partly due to not wanting to help Apple's platform anymore than they have to.

Whaaa..? That doesn't make sense.
