Facebook currently has more than 500 million active users. According to Facebook’s statistics, there are more than 200 million active users who access Facebook through a mobile device.

Facebook’s research shows that the users who have Facebook on mobile devices are twice as active as non-mobile users. The Facebook app is free on the iTunes store, although there is still no dedicated app for the iPad.

You can download the iPhone version and it will work, or you can use the webpage for Facebook, but is that enough? Neither the webpage nor the iPhone app is optimized for the iPad. Some of the other social networking sites have dedicated iPad apps like Foursquare and Twitter.

As reported from RedmondPie, iPad owners have been getting rather frustrated with the Facebook application that is currently available in the App store. This isn’t a Facebook app tailor made for the iPad, but actually the same app used on the iPhone and iPod Touch – meaning that you can only run it with the iPhone’s resolution.

However, a new app called SoBees for Facebook features a nice interface for you to use, allowing you to view status updates, links, pictures, wall posts and videos from your list of friends on Facebook. You can also manage events and birthdays using the app too.

Until an official app is released for the iPad, this is the best one available hands down. Check out the video demo of it in action below.

Let us know your thoughts on it.
