Apple Building Facebook, Foursquare, uStream Features into MobileMe - Report

Exclusive information obtained by a Mac-centric blog indicates that Apple has ambitious plans with MobileMe, with the company trying to mash up every location-based service you can think of into one that’s built right into iOS.

Resurrecting a Wall Street Journal report which, earlier this week said Apple was working on a “major revamp” of MobileMe, Cultofmac adds a new info leak to the mix, citing an unnamed source.

This source, presumably very close to Apple, said the company is looking to add a range of cloud computing features to MobileMe, including a live video-streaming service like Ustream; a location-based check-in system like Gowalla or Foursquare; and a geo-tagging system codenamed “Tokens” that tags real-world locations (think Facebook Places).

Apple is allegedly working on a lot of streaming data services and location-aware technologies.

“A ton of ideas were hatched on what they could do, and from what I heard, a lot of their ideas were shelved for a later date in order to focus on a few of them,” the source reportedly told Cultofmac.

A dynamic webpage that integrates key elements shared by services like Facebook, Foursquare and Ustream will be the centerpiece of the new MobileMe services.

“The concept is that you would have you own website that’s dynamic, all based on what you are doing at that moment,” said The Cult’s source. “Apple thinks of it as having a webserver in your pocket… everything will be dynamically updated to MobileMe.”

As noted above, Apple is also poised to introduce a geo-tagging service called “Tokens”.

Allegedly, the service is a mashup of Facebook Places, iWant and Twinkle, with several advanced features, the blog reports.

All these details appear to support rumors that Apple will introduce a streaming-only iPhone nano.
