We learned from TechCrunch that the Facebook 3.0 app for the iPhone and iPod Touch was approved by Apple and has been added to iTunes about 15 minutes ago. At the time of writing, the entry in the iTunes Store still mentions version 2.5, but it should be 3.0 if you install it. You might have to delete your existing Facebook application in order to succesfully download the new version.
