There are rumors floating around about Facebook and specifically Facebook Connect being integrated into future iterations of the iPhone OS. Speculators discussing the integration are weighing in on the scope and side effects of this impending synergistic move.
Is Apple going to emulate the Palm Pre and have your Facebook contacts and avatars imported? Will they add Facebook chat into the iPhone chat client? Do you want those people from high school randomly IM’ing you during the day? Do you want Facebook Connect’s ‘Social Functions’ serving you ads for the stores you walk past in real time?
Where do you weigh in on the subject? Would you put up with more targeted advertising for contact syncing and chat integration? Are these changes deeply tied in with the increasing concerns of Facebook’s Privacy stance, or lack thereof? Expect to hear all the details on June 7th at the Worldwide Developers Conference when they reveal (officially) the new 4th Generation iPhone.
