Facebook has just released a new messaging app for the iPhone called Facebook Messenger in the App Store.
It is a little intriguing that Facebook decided to launch a standalone app for messaging instead of integrating it with Facebook for iPhone app. We wonder if it has anything to do with Apple launching iMessage - its new messaging service with iOS 5 later this fall.
Here's a brief description of the iPhone app from the App Store:
Facebook Messenger is a faster way to message. Reach friends right on their phones, get and send messages fast, message everyone at once and more.
Facebook Messenger includes the following top features:
> Message friends, groups of friends or anyone in your mobile contacts
> Map your location, find your friends and make plans on the go
> Get mobile notifications so you never miss a message
> Include photos so friends can see what you're doing

You can download it for free from the App Store using this iTunes link
