An Introduction To The Facebook phone

By Katherine Martina


While Facebook is definitely working together with multiple smartphone makers to encourage the craze, the Facebook brand doesn't appear anywhere on the telephone, except around the button. The manufacturers include HTC and a British manufacturer called INQ, both of which are releasing two different types, each having a Facebook smartphone button.



The concept would be that the handset will include a control button embellished together with the Facebook short "letter logo" which enables one touch access to user profiles while permitting automated uploads of photos and music or promote a website with a single push. Considering the Facebook logo exists, the handsets will certainly cost more than a "regular" mobile phone. That said, are Facebook end users willing to commit up to hundred dollars more for an entire hardware platform in order to have an easier time posting on their profile a terrific tune they may be hearing on their phone?

For individuals who are certainly not committed Facebook users, spending some time to go to profiles and post images the "old fashioned" way is certainly not an issue. One must suppose it would be possible to have a programmable app to keep track of user activity, and after that prepare to post the image, with user permission. The truth is, many Facebook centric programs witout a doubt do this as well as the software icon sits directly on the home screen of your mobile phone, so what is the difference between introducing an software and pressing a button? The thing is whether a dedicated button is really that much of productivity gain.



A Facebook phone is a lot more a portrayal of the established popularity of the social networking company, and the growth of the smartphone system as the default network access and information-processing gadget. President Obama's wireless effort is evidence of this. A physical button is not really required, as well as the reduction of steps needed to upload facts are not that essential, save to those who are extremely active users.



It can be challenging to visualize any business or social activist group spending thousands of dollars to supply their visitors with Facebook powered cell phones when simple, "ordinary" cell phones would do, just with a few more steps. Therefore, for whom is the hardwired Facebook phone designed? Those for whom Facebook has developed into a necessary and crucial part of their social networking service life and who feel the faster they update their statuses or get that cool pic uploaded, the faster the better their lives would be.
