Next big feature? Twitter integration, as rumored. And it goes way beyond photos.

On the Setting screen, you can now enter your Twitter username and password. Now, if you want to share a photo through Twitter, you just tap the Tweet button.

You can also Tweet articles from Safari, videos from YouTube app, directions and business from Maps and even contacts.

This is less dramatic than I expected Twitter integration to be: I expected Apple to go head to head with Foursquare. Nice, but trivial.
