Facebook to hold Android event Thursday

NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook has invited journalists to the unveiling of what it calls its “new home on Android.”

Next Thursday’s event will take place at the company’s Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters. Facebook isn’t providing further details. There has been speculation about a “Facebook phone” for a few years. Facebook has long said it would not make its own phone. Rather, such a phone would likely integrate Facebook deeper into the phone’s software.
