IPad users who have a Facebook profile would see from day one that one of the most surprising shortcomings of the App Store is the official iPad application dedicated to the most popular of social networks. Indeed, those who own one of Apple's tablets have been forced to resort to alternative solutions to check their updates, as well as to use Facebook chat. One of the most fortunate options in this regard has been MyPad, although until a few weeks ago it lacked an integrated chat interface that was stable.
In any case, and despite the notable delay, Facebook could be working on developing the official application for iPad. This is how we have been able to find out through Unwired View and Phone Aren a, which coincide in referring to the same information, according to which the company that Mark Zuckerberg commands would be working on an integrated web application that seeks to satisfy the needs of Facebook users who usually access their profile from an iPad or iPad 2.
From both sources, they ensure that a rumor from a very reliable source points to the development of a dedicated application for iPad, which would be being launched from HTML 5, the web standard with advanced multimedia capabilities that has the full support of Apple to the detriment of its counterpart to Adobe, the well-known Flash language.
As it has been learned, a Facebook team would be exclusively dedicated to the development of a product baptized with the code name Project Spartan , which would be nothing other than the HTML 5 application that would be used to access Facebook from the iPad while keeping the full operation of all the options of the social network.
It should be remembered that if we enter Facebook from the Safari browser on iPad, we will verify that features such as chat are disabled, something that would solve the official Facebook application for the Apple tablet.
