One thing is sure, next week is going to be a hell of a week for iOS. Teaming up against Google seems to be the strategy adopted by Apple and Facebook. And no, because both companies hate Google even more. This will allow you to upload a photo of yourself so that Spartan can use Facial Recognition to locate. Yes, because the two companies hate each other. Spartan provides race photos free of charge. Would it be surprising if Facebook was invited to speak at Apple’s event? Yes and no.

Better than that, Facebook may unveil these new products at Apple’s iPhone 5 launch next week… But the company has apparently been working out the kinks with Apple. We know the iPad app has been ready for a while – which was confirmed by a former Facebook employee – but it appears that Spartan has been ready for quite some time, too. According to MG Siegler of TechCrunch, Facebook is set unveil its long awaited iPad app and Project Spartan, the HTML 5-based mobile platform the company has been working on for months, early next week.
