Facebook takes on former Apple engineers to create the first Facebook Smartphone

After making the purchase of software known Instagram to secure control of the world's social landscape, increasingly insistent rumors about the possibility that Facebook, the giant social network, enter a short in the market for mobile handsets , designing and manufacturing its own device .
 
The The New York Times has fueled these rumors with a report that says that Facebook would be planning to launch within the next year, a smartphone designed entirely by the company in Palo Alto. To achieve its objective, in addition to its best elements, Facebook has already taken a number of engineers who have previously worked for the realization of the iPhone and iPad from Apple.

"The company has already hired more than half a dozen software and hardware engineers who have worked on projects for Apple iPhone, and one who worked on the project iPad."

The current one seems to be the third attempt by Facebook to create a smartphone. Previous attempts were abandoned after it had found several problems on a technical level. Now Facebook is trying to hire engineers with experience gained in the field of mobile devices in order to complete the project planning and implementation of the product.
Facebook also has a natural interest in selling smartphone. The company, in fact, has already developed several mobile applications for iPhone OS and Android very popular, but has little control over these platforms . Here, finally, as has been expressed about an employee of Facebook:

"Mark is concerned that if they fail to make a smartphone in the near future, Facebook will become simply an application on other mobile platforms."  by
