Rumors are flying around that Facebook is making Facebook Phone. Of course, Facebook denied it almost quite immediately.<\/p>\n

From the originator, TechCrunch’s report,<\/a> it did NOT state that Facebook is making a phone. It states that they might be working on the software or with third party on a phone (just like Google Nexus One with HTC).<\/p>\n

Facebook immediately issued a statement to denounce it.<\/a> Then again, it did not stop TechCrunch or CNET<\/a> to continue their stories based on their sources.<\/p>\n

I think Facebook foresee\u00a0 a bigger problem if this matter is not settled. They (or just Mark Zuckerberg) invited TechCrunch to Facebook HQ to clarify the matter.<\/p>\n

The best part is that after the meeting, it seems that there is really something going on at Facebook. Rumors still continue.<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg, 3 person familiar with the matter, Facebook might be talking with iNQ<\/a> to build 2 devices and this devices might even run on Android OS.<\/p>\n

I think if iNQ is making these phones, it makes perfect sense as I remembered when I talked to them during iNQ Mini 3G launch in Singapore<\/a>, they are passionate on integrating social networking elements deeply into their phone.<\/p>\n

Actually, iNQ CEO Frank Meehan made a statement last year, saying that their future handsets might be Android.<\/p>\n

So, what do you think? Will you buy a Facebook endorsed phone?<\/p>\n
