Facebook recently posted information on a revamped, HTML5-driven mobile Web interface to its developer webpage. The information posted appears to outline "Project Spartan," and includes screenshots of the revamped, feature-packed Web app. While Facebook has since removed the page in question, TechCrunch was able to save each and every screenshot, and even a copy of the webpage as a PDF file.
In an exclusive article published moments ago by Mashable, it is claimed that Facebook will launch its native iPad application at Apple's iPhone 5 event on October 4, along with a variety of other goodies.
