Facebook for iPad synchs with your existing Facebook data to offer high-res photos and games, according to Facebook. Games on a full screen are one big advantage. You can utilise Facebook chat, too, and use the Nearby map to see what your friends are doing. 

Facebook today launches an app optimised for iPad, offering HD video and games, and Facebook chat, and joining other social media websites such as Twitter, Flipboard, and Gowalla. Version 4 of Facebook for iOS is optimised for iPad as well as iPhone.
