Zuckerberg: No Facebook Phone For Now

By Eddie Jones


Facebook President Mark Zuckerberg said constructing a full mobile does not make sense for the social networking service provider.

Despite a study Wednesday that Facebook might introduce its very own tool made by HTC as early as mid-2013, Zuckerberg said a Facebook phone is not presently in the cards. At least not one built entirely by the Menlo Park, Calif., provider.

After being asked which was even more vital-- having an entire smartphone feel, becoming an app or being a system that feeds in to many programs-- Zuckerberg pointed out that in the meantime, the provider desires to concentrate on raising "the depth of the sensation in addition to simply growing individuals."

Zuckerberg pointed out that at this time, Facebook is focused a lot more on including itself into additional handsets up to possible than on constructing its very own device.

"You'll view us do things such as support Apple in the iOS combination that they wished to do," the Facebook co-founder said. "There are lots of points that you can easily build in additional operating system as well that aren't actually building out an entire mobile phone, which I think really most likely would not make much sense for us to do."

Yet eventhough it seems the opportunity of cellphone manufacturing has been tumbled out the window, several of Zuckerberg's text raises the concern: Is Facebook developing an operating system?

"We desire to support a progression ecosystem where additional apps may develop on top of Facebook," Zuckerberg stated simply before the last quote.

And later in his answer, Zuckerberg discussed why all this integration provides a fantastic opportunity for Facebook. Yet those exact same points are even purposes a Facebook smartphone could possibly make sense for the business.

"There's a significant possibility for us right here," he said. "The quantity of time that people spend in the applications is higher; individuals pertain to the applications as well as make use of Facebook much more when they have mobile telephones."

Despite, Zuckerberg wasn't timid about just how crucial mobile is to Facebook, and also it appears the provider has big plans.

"If you use the applications today, they're relatively simple compared to just what I believe anyone can imagine they would choose from a Facebook encounter on a smartphone," he stated.
