The biggest claim is the ongoing buzz that Facebook plans is collaborating on a smartphone. TechCrunch reports[1] that the announcement might not involve hardware bearing the Facebook logo, but a device made by a smartphone manufacturer that runs a Facebook-developed operating system.
The “Facebook phone” is the latest gadget to take the mantle as the tech industry’s Bigfoot: many people swear it exists, but we have yet to see real proof.
The closest consumers have seen to a Facebook phone is the HTC Status[2], a smartphone that features a Facebook button users press to update their profiles.
TechCrunch is also reporting Facebook could use its Tuesday event to unveil its Messenger app for the iPad[3].
