Facebook for iPad will be announced Newt Monday

Facebook HTML5 app push, codenamed Project Spartan looks set to launch next week, with a Monday unveil for the mobile platform and the iPad Facebook app.

The scheduling is designed to offer Facebook a fallback option if Apple decides not to share stage-space with the social network at the iPhone 5 launch on October 4. Meanwhile, a prematurely posted Facebook page seemingly documented exactly what Project Spartan will offer to users and developers.
