 Facebook are hosting an event to be held tomorrow April 4th at Facebook HQ in California inviting media to “Come See Our New Home on Android” which many believe is a HTC-made Facebook phone designed especially for fanatics of social networking. A purely Facebook operating system would likely appeal to the millions who spend most of the their smartphone down time on the network with over 1 bn members, uploading photos, updating status’ and stalking potential lovers. Android Police also believe they have stumbled across the secret Facebook HTC phone, rumoured for almost a year now.
Specs of the apparent run-of-the-mill mid range phone made by HTC include: 4.3 inch 720p resolution display, 5MP rear and front 1.6MP camera says the ‘Droid Police, with a never-before-seen customised Facebook app that isn’t available on any other smartphone, with social-centric functionalities running through the entire OS of the mobile. The Facebook phone would also help push Mark Zuckerberg’s social networks’ advertising cudos further and give HTC a much needed leg up in the phone market, particularly among Gen y-ers.
“Facebook’s features, like messaging, photo uploading, and contacts integration is fully integrated throughout the operating system” according to Google9to5 site. We’ll know more early Friday Aussie time. |
