smartphone from facebook ?

We all use the facebook app in our mobile phones but soon we will be using facebook's own smart-phone. A big part of facebooks traffic is coming from Mobile phones.
During the 1st quarter this year Facebook had 901 million users and in those 500 million of those used their mobiles to access facebook. The migration of web users to smart-phones and tablets was named in Facebook’s regulatory filings for its recent flotation as one of the main threats facing it as a business. It currently makes no meaningful revenue from mobile app users, who are growing in number more rapidly than traditional website users.
It quoted a Facebook employee as saying the site's founder Mark Zuckerberg was "worried that if he doesn't create a mobile phone in the near future... Facebook will simply become an app on other mobile platforms".

To improve its fortunes, the social networking giant is planning to release a smartphone by next year and has picked up former Apple engineers who had earlier worked with the development of i phones and i pad to help with the effort.
