iPhone OS 4 and it’s SDKs were released for the paid iPhone developers on 8, April 2010. Since then iPhone application developers have been digging into SDKs; After spotting the iChat client services earlier with front facing camera libraries, now, Facebook integration has been spotted by Gunning for Safety (which, amazingly, seems to have two areas of interest: nail guns, and iPhone OS).

According to that blog, Apple is probably working on Facebook’s Event Calendar, Contacts to integrate with Calendar, Contacts app on iPhone, respectively. Currently, iPhone has easy setup options for you to setup your accounts on Gmail, MobileMe, Yahoo, etc. You can simply type in your details and you’re done. Facebook, might get listed in this as well.

There was a huge user request received by Joe Hewitt (iPhone Application Developer of Facebook) during development of Facebook 3.0 for iPhone. So, it might be possible that on the other hand Facebook team will work on existing Facebook App to get the proper end user integration.

iPhone OS 4 SDKs is been dug by the iPhone developers around the world. Application developers already spotted the iChat Agent which clearly hints that the new iPhone (which is scheduled to be unveiled this summer) will have a front facing camera.

Well, if you have a Mac background, you would already know that iChat is a default app for chatting and now if the same becomes a default app for iPhone for chat with support of all leading IM networks, then what?

There are just too many (Multi network support) IM apps already available in the AppStore, like recently Meebo came out with their sleek app, which is probably the fastest one among all the available. So, if iChat get shipped with new iPhone this summer as a default chat client then what would happen to the other great IM apps that have been dominating the Appstore? Is apple ditching them all right away with their new iChat client? or is it going to be something specific for MobileMe or Mac accounts?

Looking at it from an optimistic perspective, it might be just an OS service that Apple is providing for iPhone application developers so they can use the front facing camera with their IM clients.

What do you think?
