It's been a crazy few days for the gadget blog Gizmodo, ever since the site published detailed information about a new iPhone prototype that may or may not be the next-generation iPhone. The device has now been returned to Apple, and some of the last bits of information about the handset, and the fallout from the debacle, are being reported.
Apple plans to fuse basic Facebook functionality into the core operating system of its next-generation iPhone expected this summer, according to hackers who have dismantled the OS.

Hackers recently discovered the rumored features on a jailbroken iPhone running iPhone OS 4.0, the new iPhone OS was released earlier this month as a developer preview.
