iPhone OS 4.0 To Get Facebook Integration?

on 04/19/2010 23:29 PDT

webOS users are already used to having their Facebook contacts linked to their phonebook, but now it looks like iPhone users might be getting that feature in the upcoming iPhone OS 4.0 too. Folks who have been busy digging through the iPhone OS 4.0 SDK have found hints of native Facebook integration built into the phone. There isn’t much information as to what the feature actually does at the moment, but the most likely possibility is that it will link your Facebook contacts with your contacts in the Phone. It’s worth noting that the official iPhone Facebook app already allows photo syncing with contacts, but we don’t mind integration either. After the recent iPhone 4G leak, most folks believe that the upcoming iPhone 4G will come standard with the iPhone OS 4.0.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
