Facebook is working on an HTML 5-based platform code-named “Project Spartan” that will seek to distribute apps to iDevices, TechCrunch has reported. The project purportedly has about 80 outside developers, including people from Zynga and Huffington Post, creating a variety of apps for the upcoming platform. The apps are reportedly scheduled to be rolled out in the next few weeks. If the reports are correct, Facebook may be seeking to dominate the mobile app space. “We’ve been waiting for Facebook to do this for a while,” Josh Martin, a senior analyst at Strategy Analytics, told TechNewsWorld.
