I'm having the problem of the disappearing Newsfeed in the I-Pad Facebook app as well. For those working on the issue, it started two days ago, when...wait for it...when I landed in Singapore! Never had the problem before in any version of the ipad app. But since I got to Singapore the newsfeed has disappeared. I'm using a hostel wi-fi, so I can't check any internet connection details. But I think there is something odd taking place somewhere. Hope Facebook Holmes is on the case!
