Facebook is well aware of the potential of the mobile Internet and know late in this area. The HTC constructor and the social network founded by Mark Zuckerberg should soon launch a Facebook phone.
It will be a smartphone developed under Android, HTC has the habit to do so, but the interface will be particularly suited to the consultation of the “walls” of the Facebook friends and the time-line of their activities on the digital social network. The association between the manufacturer and the California giant was announced by Digitimes, a daily dedicated HTC and confirmed by All Things Digital, high-tech blog from The Wall Street Journal.
This smartphone, which has for the time being only a mysterious code name Buffy would be also optimized to read the HTML 5 format. It could pave the way for an environment of mobile applications in connection with the user’s profile on the social network on Facebook. What attract developers, them even for the attention of the 901 million users registered on the global network. “Buffy” could be available before the end of the year 2012.
Facebook would rebound with its smartphone
The consultation on the mobile screens and one of the next challenges for Facebook. In earlier this week, the social site unveiled many figures, to set up a folder for its introduction on the stock exchange by mid-June under the observers. Why operating income fell by 12% in the last quarter, for the first time, the giant social observes that the consultation of its site is more and more through mobile devices, smartphones or tablets.
Facebook is available through applications that offer less advertising space on his site on these media, and therefore less revenue for the site based in Palo Alto. That is, if the turn of mobility is important to Facebook.
In November 2011, a spokesman for Facebook already confirmed to All Things Digital that Facebook considered that any phone is best when it is profoundly social. “We work with the whole of the sector, operators, manufacturers, developers of applications and operating systems to bring powerful social experiments to more and more users.”
In 2010, HTC launched a partnership with an another monster of the Internet: Google. But since then, the firm of Mountain View chose Samsung to build Google-phones new generation. For HTC, embark on a project with Facebook is to stay in the battle that will engage Apple, Google, Microsoft, and now Facebook on smartphones market.
