Here we go with another rumour about facebook phone. Well first i'll talk about what the facebook phone could do to the market.
If facebook do make their own phone they aren't going to pull out of the app business, facebook's recent intergration with iOS 6 and mountain lion means they have a forseeable future with apple. With android it's slightly different, since you can legally develop tweaks and launchers so facebook are relling on the community to develop a easy to post status service plus you've also got the facebook widget where you have a small little news feed right on your home screen for easily scanable information.
Pretty sure if facebook do bring out a phone it's going to be a skin on to of android just like what HTC and motorola do with their handsets. Facebook wouldn't develop an entire operating sysem to compete with android itself and iOS. I'll probably talk about this in another blog but i'll like to say it here, facebook have become that powerful in the social network field that they couldn't possibilty fail or be rivaled with any other social network site. Just look how google plus came into the network and the shortly of having thousands of people signing up, only a short number decided to go back on the next day. Facebook have got disposable money, here's a point if everybody left facebook then the website would be pointless, it's a community based website just like forums and twitter. With all the money facebook have got, they acquired instagram for a ginormas sum which instagram have now got 80 million members not sure how many they had before facebook bought them out but i'm thinking it would have increased over 300%.
Sorry i'm digressing but it happens when you let your mind ramble.
Talking about the facebook phone We want to not just have apps that people use, but also be as deeply integrated into these systems as possible. mark zuckerberg appeared on bloomberg the other day and crushing the dreams of the facebook phone to bits with this quote ' We want to support a development ecosystem where other apps can build on top of Facebook, so that’s why you’ll see us do things like support Apple in the iOS integration they wanted to do. There are lots of things that you can build in other operating systems as well that aren’t really like building out a whole phone, which I think wouldn’t really make much sense for us to do. '
Not sure why facebook would bring out a phone as they dominate the app market. I know loads of people that the first app that they downloaded was the facebook application and it's always on the front page or the dock, so facebook have definitly got the market for a facebook phone but with mark's quote, those dreams are crushed.
