Facebook Denies Partnering With HTC for "Facebook Phone"

Contrary to Wednesday's report, Facebook has denied partnering with HTC for a mobile device.

The two rumored devices from HTC appear to be real, but Facebook's involvement in their development isn't as important as the report claimed.

Speaking at a company event in London, Dan Rose, head of business development at Facebook, said the device is "just another example of a manufacturer who has taken our public APIs (application programing interfaces) and integrated them into their device in an interesting way," adding that the device will not be Facebook-branded.
