Is Facebook preparing a smartphone to compete with the iPhone?

This is the rumor that has been going around for a few days on
the web following an article from
New York Times
.

Facebook in the person of Marc Zuckerberg himself would have met
several former Apple engineers who participated in the development of
l’iPhone.

Still according to NY Times sources, ahalf dozen of these
profiles would even already be hired
:

It didn't take much for the rumor of the arrival of a 100 phone
% Facebook is growing as quickly as in previous years. In fact, the network
social is not its first attempt since mobiles produced with
HTC offering deep Facebook integration, have already been marketed
without real success so far.

While Google has just finalized the purchase of Motorola,Facebook
will he start making his own mobile phone?

in order to offer very in-depth integration of its social network into a
communicating device and above all goseek income
additional on mobile
which will represent more and more
social network connections. Or is it just another rumor, see a
way to revive a stock price which has fallen since the introduction
recent
from the social media giant. We will surely know in the
months to come. Facebook has so far responded to questions on the subject by
indicating that the company worked on the entire chain of
mobile.

There remains a real question... Some of youdo they dream of a
100% Facebook mobile? What would he have to offer to seduce you?
