Facebook Event Being Held Tomorrow (Wednesday)

Facebook, who recently held a game-centered conference a couple of weeks ago and announced high resolution pictures, is holding an event tomorrow, Wednesday, October 6th. What this is about is still a secret, but TechCrunch speculates the following (other than being about Facebook Events, as it looks like they might be playing with word usage):

  • iPad: The lack of an official Facebook iPad app has been glaring since the device launched six months ago, and while some third party apps have stepped up to the plate (and done very well financially), a Facebook app is still nowhere to be seen.
  • (More) Places: Facebook Places launched in mid-August, and it’s still missing some key features, particularly on the desktop version of the website. Likewise, we could see a much larger campaign urging local businesses to become active on Facebook Places.
  • Credits: Facebook Credits are being used in more games (they frequently came up in the gaming event last month). But what about a broader launch that lets anyone use them?
  • The Facebook Bar – Facebook has been working on a Meebo Bar clone for ages now — they even announced it at f8. Where is it?
  • The Facebook Phone: They denied it existed. Then they said it sort of does. A full launch is the next logical step, obviously.

What are your speculations?
