Is Apple preparing to release a Facebook killer that likely builds on its current mobile me offering?

Nope.

Apple is not in that business, and the attempts to get into this business (Ping) did not impress anyone. Apple sells devices that people use to communicate, consume, create, and record. They want to sell lots of them. It’s a different model.

Apple will be very happy to sell devices that access and support users in all of their lifestyle choices… Including using Facebook.

Now, will Apple BUY Facebook? They have a lot of money, and Apple tends to buy talent they can’t grow internally. Though I’d say Sony would be a far better acquisition… Or maybe Disney.
