Written on 21 Nov 2011 by Facebook is expected to unveil its first mobile phone on the market within 12 to 18 months, according to AllthingsD. And it will not be a Samsung smartphone… but an HTC.
Code name: “Buffy“.
Of course as we expect, the social network will be fully integrated in the mobile phone. With 350 million active mobile users, Facebook has no alternative but to envisage a future where mobility is in the core of its business.
“Our mobile strategy is simple: We think every mobile device is better if it is deeply social. We’re working across the entire mobile industry; with operators, hardware manufacturers, OS providers, and application developers to bring powerful social experiences to more people around the world.”
HTC Buffy Operating system will be … a modified version of Android.
See you in 18 months.
