Facebook is working hard with HTC to release a phone which will entirely be used for social networking purposes – Buffy.
Facebook following Other Biggies
This phone is going to be a lot different from the entire previous
Facebook phone. But customers will have to wait around 12 to 18 months
to get their hands on this gadget. As Amazon and Barnes & Noble have recently created tablets which are running customized versions of Google’s Android, this is one reason Facebook is adopting a similar strategy.
USP
Farmville and Poker game lovers are going to love this phone since
players will be able to play the games directly from the Facebook app.
The USP of this phone is users will no longer have to download apps
separately from Facebook as this phone will have all the apps in-built.
Named as “Buffy”, the phone will serve all the Facebook apps via HTML5
support.
In an interview with the Facebook spokesperson, he said “Our mobile
strategy is simple and what we believe is every single mobile device is
better if it is designed to be social”. We are dealing with operators,
hardware manufacturers, OS providers all across the globe so as to bring
powerful social experience.
