Today, the social networking giant has denied the rumor, saying there is no planned smartphone tie-ins coming.
Says head of business development at Facebook, Dan Rose (via Reuters):
This is really just another example of a manufacturer who has taken our public APIs (application programming interfaces) and integrated them into their device in an interesting way.
The rumours around there being something more to this HTC device are overblown.
When asked whether the devices would be "Facebook-branded," Rose flat out replied, "No."
The company says 250 million of its 500 million users actively access the site via mobile devices.
