Facebook will bank on mobile advertising to make money from mobile, and won't likely build out a mobile OS or market hardware (as some suspect), analysts told eWEEK. - When companies cite certain risk factors in their S-1 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, it's expected they will list competitors in their space. Companies also like to list market uncertainties. Facebook, which filed its S-1 prospectus for a $5 billion IPO last week, listed...

One of the dreams journalists, high-tech watchers and pundits have is that a high-rising Internet darling files its S-1 statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, announcing its intentions to go public. The resulting filings reveal oodles of facts about the company's culture, fiscal results, its view on the competition and other details. Facebook effectively fulfilled the dream of many Feb. 1 in its filing to go public. Along with it, came the deluge of details the company had not been required to bare for the general public. These details include interesting facts, for example, that Facebook's revenues were $3.71 billion last year. Media pounced on the revelations, feasting on such tidbits as how many times Facebook used the word mobile 123 times, Twitter is mentioned twice, Microsoft five times and Google 14. Really, the record-keeping is exhaustive. eWEEK boiled down some of the key details and put them together here for our readers' leisurely perusal. Enjoy. - ...

Apple's iPhone 5 will likely launch at some point this year, but so far, the technology giant hasn't said when that might be. Even so, the rumor mill has been suggesting Apple will follow last year's lead and try to launch the new handset at some point during the tail end of the summer or early fall. So far, several rumors have cropped up about the iPhone 5. Some say that the device will come in multiple flavors, appealing to those who want both larger and smaller displays. Others say Apple will offer up a single model that boasts huge improvements over its predecessor, the iPhone 4S. More still, say Apple will launch a nominally upgraded iPhone 5 that won't in any way shock or impress consumers. Simply put, the only people who know what the iPhone 5 will look like are those working at Apple. And as you might expect, not one of them is saying what the next device will be like. But that doesn't mean the iPhone 5 can't be improved upon. In fact, the device must be an improvement over its predecessor. - ...
