Safari on the iPhone just doesn't cut it.
I've seen the iPhone run Java, and it gets REAL slow. You get the adequate results, but you also end up spending loads of time waiting for them.
A direct access to Facebook could be cool, though. Status updates, adding friends on the fly, even by entering their cell number when you meet them! The phone could actually run some sort of identification server for Bluetooth or WiFi... so if you post your phone id on Facebook (privacy please), then...
let's say you go to a party - you have a few hundred people there. The phone runs a scan for all the Facebook IDs in the place, and sets up a list. The next day, you check that list and see who you actually spoke to and liked. Just check your list, and send them a Friend request automatically.
This would require that a phone broadcast this ID constantly... let's say once every 15 mins. Just a burst of info, kinda like the keepalive message sent to the towers. You could set up the phone to detect certain people, and ENSURE that you know - either by an alert of somekind, or sound, txtmsg... anything. That way, you can even avoid people, or look for them!
Obviously this could be turned off by the individual, just as you can turn off the GPS function to avoid tracking. But could it be fun and practical? OF COURSE! (Best way to get that really hot chick's photo...)
You could probably set it up WITH the GPS service... think about all the possibilities!!
I'm salivating!!!
