Attention iPhone facebook users, your developer (the only developer) had just quit making enhacements to the facebook app on the iPhone.  The reason behind this is that he doesn't like the iPhone app approval policy, here's some quotes from his statement about the apps approval policy on the iPhone.

My decision to stop iPhone development has had everything to do with Apple's policies. I respect their right to manage their platform however they want, however I am philosophically opposed to the existence of their review process. I am very concerned that they are setting a horrible precedent for other software platforms, and soon gatekeepers will start infesting the lives of every software developer.

The web is still unrestricted and free, and so I am returning to my roots as a web developer. In the long term, I would like to be able to say that I helped to make the web the best mobile platform available, rather than being part of the transition to a world where every developer must go through a middleman to get their software in the hands of users."

It's not the end of the World, some other engineers/developers will continue his work, but i doubt it would be as good.

CloudTalk, a social communications platform that enables personal and natural communication through voice as well as text, photo and video, today unveiled its new application for iPhone and Android. The new version of the CloudTalk app includes rich social and multi-media capabilities and a more intuitive user interface, all built around the idea that people need to be able to use their voice to communicate.

“This should drive new platforms towards a more authentic style of communication, and it will be interesting to see how this space plays out.”

“There’s been a dramatic shift in the messaging landscape in the past six months, evidenced by an appetite for a more intimate and social kind of mobile communication that mirrors the way we interact with our social circles in real life on a daily basis,” said Tim Bajarin, principal analyst at Creative Strategies. “This should drive new platforms towards a more authentic style of communication, and it will be interesting to see how this space plays out.”

Highlights for the new app include:

• Multimedia Sharing: Add photos and videos to your messages when words just aren’t enough.
• Group Messaging: Message the people you know one-on-one, in a group, or broadcast to the entire CloudTalk community.
• More Social Conversations: Make your group messaging conversations more social by adding new participants, naming your conversation threads by topic or by groups of people participating and by liking and commenting on conversations, photos and videos.
• Facebook and Twitter Integration: Find friends on your favorite social networks that are already using the CloudTalk app and post to your Facebook or Twitter accounts.
• Engaging Your Circle of Friends: Invite your friends to join you on CloudTalk via SMS or email and follow each other, so you can chat or share content.
• Organized News Feeds: Never lose track of an important conversation again, with your latest messages stored all in one place.

We also kept the features our users love in the new version of the CloudTalk app:

• Voice Messaging: Send and receive real-time asynchronous voice messages within your social circle.
• Text Messaging: Stay in touch with your friends or groups of friends with free, unlimited text messaging.
• Public Communities: Venture out and meet someone with similar interests in the public community and start or join a group.

“The friction caused by phone calls when we can’t take them, and voice mail that feels like a dead end, is making it harder to use our voice in daily communications with our social circle. CloudTalk stands out as the only platform to put the power and convenience of voice at the center of the social communications experience,” says David Hayden, chairman and CEO of CloudTalk. “And CloudTalk makes talking as easy as texting, so we can freely use our voices to convey emotion, avoid misconstrued tone and get a message across far more quickly and powerfully than text alone.”

To get started on CloudTalk, download the app directly from your mobile device at the iTunes App Store or Android Marketplace. Once you have downloaded the app, invite and follow your circle of friends or make new friends from around the world in the public communities. To learn more about CloudTalk visit www.cloudtalk.com.

CloudTalk also recently launched its App Platform and Partner Program at SXSW, which enables mobile and Web application developers to integrate a whole new dimension of voice, text and rich media to any application where the power of human communication is important. The new CloudTalk app runs on the CloudTalk platform. The company will be speaking and exhibiting at the APPNATION conference in San Francisco on April 27^th and 28^th so stop by and say hello!
