Today at its mobile event, Facebook executives Mark Zuckerberg and Erick Tseng gave some (vague) answers as to why there still isn&'t an official iPad application.

Zuckerberg was pretty blunt when it came to explaining why there wasn&'t an iPad launch during today&'s mobile event: &''The iPad isn&'t mobile&''. He later qualified this statement to say that Facebook loves working with Apple, but that the iPad isn&'t as mobile as a phone (he&'s right).

Tseng stepped in to add that the rise of tablets isn&'t going to be about the iPad alone �a4���a4�a4s��we&'re going to soon see numerous additional devices running on Android and possibly other platforms. And given Facebook&'s limited resources, it doesn&'t really make sense to hone in on a single platform.

Facebook needs a solution that will let it deploy features across multiple devices quickly, so there isn&'t a lag time like there has been between the Android and iPhone apps. In other words, we&'re probably going to see a web-based mobile application that&'s going to be targeted specifically at the tablet form factor.
