You may recall that two months ago, we found and leaked Facebook's iPad app. What was especially awesome is that the entire app was buried the code for Facebook's iPhone app, you just had to do a few tricks to enable it. Once Facebook realized what we found, they took moves to try and shut it down. But it was too late. The app was out there, and looked pretty close to complete. In fact, it turns out it wasfeature complete at that point.On his personal blog today, developer Jeff Verkoeyen reveals that Facebook's iPad app has been feature complete since May. How does he know? He built it. He was the lead engineer on the project. He had been working on it for 8 solid months sometimes as much as 80 hours a week, he says, to get it done in time. But Facebook's definition of "in time" kept shifting, Verkoeyen says. And that led him to quit the social network, and join rival Google.
