FaceBook iPhone Application Updated With Accessibility Fixes

The FaceBook.com iPhone application has been updated to version 3.02. The update focuses on VoiceOver compatibility, and accessibility fixes. The rapidity with which the developer has addressed the accessibility issues is extraordinary, and we applaud FaceBook for this response.

The application is exceptionally usable now, with only a couple of unlabeled controls which can be quickly memorized. Given the speed at which this update was delivered, we expect even these few controls to be addressed in the near future.

We commend FaceBook for their dedication and quick response, as well as Apple Inc. for giving developers the tools to quickly make such dramatic improvements in their applications where regards accessibility.
