Facebook is planning to launch its iPad app and a new iPhone app at an October 4th Apple event, says Mashable.

Mashable reports that the problem preventing its release has been the combination of timing and a strained relationship with Apple. However, the relationship between the two may be warming up due to the shared goal of beating Google. The report also echoes comments made by TechCrunch earlier today, suggesting that the two companies may be working together on a HTML5 platform, known as "Project Spartan" to some.


What we're hearing is that Apple is actually working with Facebook on perfecting the HTML5 platform. This could also launch at Apple's upcoming iPhone event, though our sources wouldn't commit to a specific launch date for the platform.

The platform would allow Facebook developers to bring their apps to the iPhone via HTML5.
