I really thought it'd be out by now. But alot of apps have their waiting time for Apple to allow updates.

Apple really should have thought of another way to sort all this through. Some apps are having over a week to wait for an update. What if there was a terrible flaw in a program and they had to patch it up quick?!

The funny thing about this is... we heard about "Facebook 2.0" quite some time ago. It is entirely likely that we heard about it when it was submitted for review by Apple.

If thats the case, it's kind of nice to see that Apple doesn't give "big" developers priority over Joe Schmoe in the review process.

I doubt that it was released to Apple at that point. The review process does not take anywhere near that long in my experience. I think most developers are waiting about 5 days before the application is available.

Regarding preferential treatment of big developers, I suspect they are being placed at the top of the queue. If I recall correctly, the WordPress app was released the day after it was submitted. No complaints here - WordPress and Facebook would sell many more phones than Ledger ;).
