Rewritten Facebook iPhone App
Nick Bilton (via Chris Espinosa):
One of the Facebook engineers said the new application has been built primarily using Objective-C, the programming language used to build applications for iOS. Many of the components of the current version of the Facebook app are built using HTML5, the Web-based markup language.
I’m surprised they went the HTML way to begin with, given Apple’s experience with some of the original built-in apps.
