Facebook was hiding its iPad app inside its iPhone app (Yahoo! News)

Apple's tablet already has its own version of Facebook, and it might be installed on your iPad right now

It appears as though the long-rumored?Facebook iPad app is indeed on its way, and its release might be even closer than we think. Technology blog TechCrunch did some digging and amongst the programming code of the?social network's iPhone app and found that the bells and whistles of the?iPad version?were embedded there, too. Using a jailbroken iPad, they were able to boot up the not-yet-announced Facebook iPad app and take it for a test drive.

The app looks to fill the gap between the stripped-down iPhone version of Facebook and the full website. A sidebar with large, touch-friendly icons help to streamline the social network experience, while the iPad's large screen real estate provides a good chunk of your friends' activity in a single bit.

Several sites have?posted guides on how to alter your iPhone Facebook app to work on an iPad, but this requires jailbreaking the device. Additionally, once we switched our Facebook app to the iPad version we were no longer able to sign in, meaning that the coding wizards at Facebook have likely shut the door on any iPad connectivity until the app is officially revealed.
