You've got your iPad and you're ready for Facebook, but wait. There's no official iPad Facebook app. You can try the iPhone version, but it's a pixelated mess blown up to twice the size, and shrunk down to normal seems to miss the point of an iPad. Well, there's always the full version in mobile Safari, but due to the iPad's file structure, you can't upload that great photo your friend emailed you. The touch version of the site is all right, but it too lacks photo uploading and leaves something to be desired in its UI.
The answer, friends, is third-party apps. There are a variety out there, some only dedicated to uploading pictures or chatting, but there are two stand outs in the App Store that make Facebook on the iPad enjoyable.
