The big point here is that most of the people here developing are probably going to be over the age of 28... the ones that have long since abandoned Myspace, so just don't hold your breath for integration because most of the people won't bother wasting their time with it at this point.

The N900 is being marketed towards the people who are at the cutting edge of social networking. If Myspace was still relevant in this space, which they aren't, you would bet that Nokia would have widgets preinstalled just like they do for Facebook. (No, I wouldn't exactly call Facebook "cutting edge" social networking either, but...)

The closest thing that we'll see is integration of MySpaceIM which Haze already supports. (I believe it's not integrated into the packages on the N900 yet because it's not quite stable.)

Again, I'm not against having it integrated or any other social site for that matter. I'm just telling you why it's very unlikely to end up happening. Call it a self-inflated opinion if it makes you feel any better.
