Seems that Facebook is trying to do more and more wonders. Now, the most popular social networking site is trying to making its entry in the mobile phone arena. After announcing their plans to increase mobile revenue, Facebook has hired Apple engineers to develop a Facebook Smartphone.
According to reports of New York Times, the company recruited some diligent Apple engineers, who worked on iPhone and iPad Projects. Back in 2010, there was a buzz that Facebook is planning to venture into hardware. Then in 2011, reports claimed that Facebook is tying up with HTC to build a Facebook-centric device. But no confirmation has been revealed about these reports.
Of late, a study reveals that people used the mobile version of Facebook most often and Mark Zuckerberg’s team had seriously planned some new innovations. After two previous attempts at working on a Smartphone, the social networking giant will launch their own Smartphone.
However, Facebook representatives did not make any confirmation or denial about these rumors. But referred to a previous statement it gave to AllThingsD last year that said, “We’re working across the entire mobile industry; with operators, hardware manufacturers, OS providers, and application developers”
