Official Facebook iPad app coming soon

Update: For those who can’t or don’t want to wait for the official release of the Facebook app for iPad. We’ve added a video that guides you through the steps required to install the unreleased app in your iPad. Again, we’re cautioning you to proceed at your own risk. Video after the jump.

Apparently Facebook is working on an HTML5-rich iPad app and TechCrunch claims that they’ve been using the app for hours now. There’s no official word from Facebook on this but the screen grabs look real and they look good. Real good.

For a screen grab smorgasbord of the yet to be released (as well as confirmed) official Facebook app for iPad, head on over to TechCrunch.

If you have a jailbroken iPad, you should be able to access this hidden Facebook app for iPad. All you need to do is change the UIDeviceFamily to 2 for iPhone on the Facebook app. A word of caution, proceed at your own risk.

Now, tell us, how long have you been waiting for this?
