Facebook iPad App Developer Quits After Repeated Launch Delays

Jeff Verkoeyen has left Apple for a job at Google! He was the team leader of the iPad Facebook App development team since the beginning ofthis year.



On a blog post he says that the App was finished in May but never seen the light of day till this day and may never see it as a native iPad app:

"Verkoeyen wrote on his blog today that he was the lead engineer on the Facebook iPad app back in January. He put a ton of time into the app. 

It was feature-complete back in May, he writes, but Facebook kept pushing its release out another two weeks, then another. (Feature-complete doesn't necessarily mean "finished," but it's usually the last stage before a public beta test.) 

Now, he thinks it "may never be released."

He offered no reason for the repeated delays.

The New York Times announced back in July the arrival of the Facebook app for iPad and we even saw this interface through a tweak but they quickly removed it.
This App was never presented,not even at the company's F8 conference last week.
