Everyone seems to be waiting for the iPhone OS 4.0 software update, as we are gradually inching closely to the June 7, WWDC conference. Fresh reports reveal that the new iPhone operating system could bring native Facebook integration to the iPhone that shares information across programs.With this feature, iPhone users will now be able to import their Facebook contacts and regular address book in to one place and then send messages to friends from their phone using Facebook Chat. Speculations are also rife that Facebook Connect, the system that allows people to sign on to partner websites using their Facebook ID, might also be made available to developers in the iPhone Software Development Kit. This will help them add social networking features to their apps on future projects.
Facebook integration to enhance iPhone experience
Statistics reveal that there is an estimated 34 million active users of the Facebook iPhone app in a month. Facebook, which has more than 400 million users worldwide, divulges that this is almost one-third of all devices running the iPhone operating system.
More details about the iPhone 4.0 software update is expected to be divulged at the WWDC next month in San Francisco. Facebook integration into the iPhone’s new operating system will be interesting considering the fact that even rival operating systems like Google Android and the forthcoming Windows Phone 7, all offer superlative social-networking experiences.
So with this added integration on your iPhone operating system, you too can aggregate friends, contacts, photos and information from sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Flickr, in to a single widget that provides real-time updates.
What will this new integration mean for you?
