Facebook, the company that commands the well-known Mark Zuckerberg, continues with its plans to launch a smartphone. Several options had been considered, such as wanting their own operating system, which was a mobile with a Qwerty keyboard, but it seems that in the end all that is going to be left behind. The device will be developed by HTC and it will have an operating system based on Android, although it could be customized, in the style of the Kindle Fire. Of course, finally its launch would be postponed to 2013.
The details of the components that this mobile would carry are not known, and it is difficult to imagine it, although it will surely have a good camera, an essential tool if we talk about social aspects.
However, where will all the essence of the new device of Facebook for sure, it is in software. And it is that, surely that those of Palo Alto have thought to create specific and unique applications for their special device.
At the moment, the only thing that is known for sure is what comes from Bloomberg, that HTC It had already agreed to be the manufacturer of the mobile device it wants to launch Facebook. However, according to published data, HTC I would not have been able to fulfill that task during this year 2012 because they have had an intense activity with their own devices.
In this situation, HTC y Facebook They would have reached an agreement to delay the launch of the mobile a little, in order to improve it and get a device in good condition, with enough time dedicated to it. However, it still remains to consider how this device will be in depth, its internal components, such as the processor, RAM, camera, memory and, above all, its design. Even so, it seems obvious that it will be a bar-type device, without a Qwerty keyboard, and with a touch screen, which will be the one that will include the virtual keyboard, thus moving away from what we saw in the HTC ChaChaCha. In any case, there are still a few months left so that we can have more reliable data on this new Facebook device with Android.
