Will it play Blu-Ray?
It's much higher quality, you know.

I wonder how much Facebook is paying for this, but here we go:
After Years Of Flirting, Facebook And Apple Set To Achieve Relationship Status In iOS 6
After much speculation, Facebook integration will indeed be baked into the latest version of iOS, we’ve learned.
Following Cook’s most recent comments, there was much speculation about this finally happening. After all, Facebook integration did appear in an unreleased build of iOS 4 a couple years ago. But much like the Facebook/Ping integration, this fell by the wayside and Apple instead went with Twitter as the main third-party authentication and sharing service in iOS 5.
To be clear, Twitter will still very much be a part of the new iOS (presumably named “iOS 6″ and codenamed “Sundance“), and that company will be holding sessions at WWDC to chat more about the continued partnership (including the integration into the forthcoming OS X Mountain Lion). But Facebook integration will be very important for iOS — tons of apps use Facebook for sign-ups and authentication (many use Facebook as the only way to do this, to the dismay of some). Apple was undoubtedly watching this activity and realized that it was time to formally bring Facebook on board.
This is also a huge win for Facebook, which until now has relied on the sort of clunky Single Sign On technique in iOS where you click a connect button in an app and get fast-app-switched into the Facebook app to authorize permissions. Once you do this, you’re fast-app-switched back into the original app. Other apps still use the old HTML pop-up for Facebook authentication. Needless to say, Facebook being built right into iOS will provide a more seamless way to handle this — see the Twitter integration for an example of how it should work now — or Facebook’s clever cross-app way of doing it.

I've been looking at Mountain Lion DP3 and there is integration support for Twitter, Yahoo, Gmail and a whole bunch of chinese services I know nothing about. Its mostly just email, Messages and notification support but FaceBook is a very conspicuous absentee. I can't imagine they want to be left out there either.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
