FriendCaster For Facebook: The Best Facebook Experience On The iPad?

FriendCaster for Facebook is a new, free iPad application that promises to offer users the "best Facebook experience" on the iDevice. The app is well designed, and allows users to easily handle multiple Facebook accounts on their original iPad or iPad 2.
Currently, there is no official iPad version of the Facebook application. This means that Facebook users are forced to interact with the service either through mobile Safari, or via a third party app - such as Friendly Plus. While Friendly is a great app, FriendCaster certainly appears to be in the same league.
Here are the app's key features, taken from FriendCaster's release notes:
As mentioned, FriendCaster is currently available to download for free. Check it out, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
