Apple is reportedly working with Facebook for a new HTML 5 project. Facebook’s Project Spartan’s pics leaked recently and now Apple seems to be in constant contact with Facebook to make this app an awesome one.
A report about Project Spartan, which Facebook is working on, broke out last Wednesday. MG Seigler, TechCrunch, claimed that Facebook is working on a HTML 5 powered App Store alternative. The report said:
“Apple has wanted this app since the initial iPad launch just over a year ago. At first, Facebook made it sound as if they weren’t going to do one at all. But they have been working on it for months. And there’s no reason it should have taken that long, unless they were holding it back as some sort of leverage over Apple.”
He also reports that Facebook might be holding it’s iPad app just to leverage Apple. He also opens up on how Apple would find Project Spartan to be and how much Project Spartan is visible to Apple’s eyes and also Apple is reportedly providing some small support for the Social Media giant on this project:
“Apple may not view Spartan as a threat at all right now — and in fact, it sort of helps them because it is moving popular games, like the ones by Zynga, off of Flash and onto HTML5 — but down the road, that is absolutely what Facebook intends it to be.”
