Facebook is reportedly prepping an official application for the iPad.
According to a July 16 article in The New York Times, itself quoting unnamed "people briefed on Facebook's plans," the social network is prepping a free application for release in the coming year. The software has been under development for the past year.
"One person who works with Facebook said Mark Zuckerberg, the company's chief executive and founder, has been heavily invested in the process," the article suggested, "overseeing design decisions and the app's unique features."
Facebook has certainly become more aggressive in expanding its functionality, if current reports eventually prove accurate.
In addition to an iPad application, Facebook is reportedly prepping an HTML5-based platform for mobile applications, which could end up directly challenging Apple's App Store.
