Facebook a phone is built, "said a source that knowledge of the project. Or rather, they build the software for the phone and works with the third to actually build the hardware. This is exactly what Apple and other people also.
It was a little less than a year since the news broke that Google was working on a mobile phone of its own - which eventually revealed as a Nexus. It was on that stage, said the source, Facebook is beginning to worry about the growing power of the iPhone and Android platforms. And it is very suitable for mobile applications, Facebook is not enough a threat to the long-term competitiveness factors.
Specifically, Facebook will integrate well into the contact list and other necessary functions of the phone. It will only be possible if it is running the operating system.
Two high-flying Facebook - Joe Hewitt and Matthew Papakipos - says that the secret to work on the project, which is unknown, even to the most used Facebook.
Both have a deep experience of the operating system.
Hewitt has contributed to the development of the Firefox browser and is concerned with Parakey before being acquired by Facebook in 2007. Parakey, which never launched, was described as an "operating system based on the Web" Hewitt has also been made of Facebook iPhone web applications and native applications. "But ultimately, the iPhone built for disgust with the end of last year, but he knows that the operating system. and he knows mobile.
Papakipos a perfect background for this project. He was the leader Google Chrome OS project until June, when he resigned and went to Facebook. Papakipos be regarded as a developer at Rockstar, and there are a number of jobs that will be able to do on Facebook.
But that does not answer the question why he did the project include Chrome OS before it finished. It would have been something very interesting to transgress. Something like a Facebook phone, for example.
As the phone can look and feel? We do not know. When will be announced? I do not know. But I think it would have a cellphone could be something very affordable, which allows people to fully integrate into the Facebook universe. Call the name of your friend, not a former seven-digit code, for example. I suspect Facebook will these things into as many hands as possible, so I would expect from a model at a price under $ 50. Pay your credit account with Facebook. Etc.
As for the timing, the holiday season is always a good time to launch new products. But it may be too early.
Or who knows, the whole project could be killed before they emerge. All we know for sure is that Hewitt Papakipos something about working together very stealthy. And we have sources that tell us this thing is a stealth telephone Facebook.
We can not discount these partnerships. Spotify was told to work on a phone inq last year on a shared investor Li Ka-Shing. It seems that Li Ka-Shing is also a major investor in Facebook. So would a NQI / Facebook partnership on a mobile phone certainly not a surprise.
