Who would like an iPhone integrated with Twitter/ Facebook as a native app?
I think it would be damn convenient and good. :)

What about you?

You mean to just call your Twitter friends?

Wouldn't that be a pain to have to remember which friends **** and then launch that app to call them. Better to just cull your **** contacts and make a group in your contacts/phone app.

No...

If your friends have twitter/facebook, you could go into each contact and add their profile links. Then the iPhone would pull data from facebook/twitter so you can see their latest updates.

Nope, just status updates without using wifi or 3g, and wireless syncing of your twitter/ facebook friends and stuff like that :cool: ie: palm pre's synergy

That would be a pain because of all the back and forthing needed to move from contact to contact. Unless you put them all in a group. At that point wouldn't a dedicated app do it better because you'd need extended functionality. So what if you can read their updates if you can't do anything with that info.
