The screenshots clearly show an iPad-friendly UI. Sounds like you got the old iPhone-only app - likely the app hasn't propagated to all of the App Store yet.

Same thing happened to me, I did however just read on another blog post that its apparently cached and propagating through Apples servers. So I guess try again in a few hours.

EDIT: I downloaded via iTunes and it worked, downloading via my iPad seemed to download the wrong version. So I guess its proportion, some servers probably haven't been updated yet.

Sounds like you've installed the iPhone app - it seems the iPad app isn't live just yet.

This happened to me too. The 'Get the App' button on facebook actually links you to the iPhone app. Funky.

The app is supposed to be "universal" and display the proper one for your device, but yeah, it's not actually gone live on the App Store yet it seems.
