A Facebook smartphone has reportedly been in the works for some time. In 2010, Techcrunch reported that Facebook was “secretly” building a smartphone – although this particular project is said to have broken down. The company’s desire to enter the smartphone market could be a result of increasing pressure to improve the potential of mobile to make money. In a statement for potential investors ahead of its initial public offering earlier this month, the company admitted it had concerns about more users accessing Facebook through their mobile – a trend which could make it more difficult to sell advertising.
