\"\"<\/a>Amid the flurry of news surrounding the next-gen iPhone revelations<\/a>, another little tidbit of information about iPhone OS 4.0 has made it’s way out: it seems that Facebook contact and event integration may be a new system feature.<\/p>\n

While this may not be a new concept for the Android and WebOS devout among us, it is one that the iPhone could really benefit from.<\/p>\n

Having contacts linked to Facebook means that your phonebook is automatically updated whenever your contacts update any of their numbers. As long as your contact keeps their Facebook details up-to-date, you never have to worry about losing that number again, Rikki<\/a>. Or Milli<\/a>, for that matter.<\/p>\n

Calendar Integration with Facebook events will also be a boon for the socialites, as Facebook Events are becoming an ever more popular way to organise, promote, and prepare for keg parties.<\/p>\n

They have the evidence and reasoning behind it on their website<\/a>, as well as some statistics on nail gun related injuries<\/a>. So, whaddaya waiting for?<\/p>\n
