On The Eve Of One Facebook Event, The Spartans Prepare For Another
Tomorrow morning at their headquarters in Palo Alto, Facebook is holding an event to show off an "awesome" new product. Our sources tell us that product with be the long-rumored Skype integration within Facebook for full-on video chat goodness " just a week after arch nemesis Google unveiled Hangouts as a part of Google+. Given that news has already leaked out, it's certainly possible that Facebook could surprise with talk of their iPad app or new Photos experience as well. But one thing not on the agenda is Project Spartan.You'll recall that Project Spartan is the HTML5-driven mobile application platform that Facebook has been quietly building for months with the help of a group of third-party app developers. While some of those very developers believe Facebook's intentions here is to break up the control Apple (and Google) have over the mobile app space, Facebook started freaking out when we reported that. The spin began almost immediately. And it has continued, even with the group of third-party developers working on the project " they're affectionately known as "Spartans".Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/ztg4CeMNLL0/
