It's already rumored that Facebook is prepping to check their luck on smaprtphone space also, and they are planning to introduce a new smartphone by this year itself. Now the reports says that the HTC made Facebook smartphone is pushed back in to 2013. We will see the Facebook smartphone by the mid of 2013, says Bloomberg.
The delay, according to the source, is because HTC want to concentrate more on products in their pipe line. The new device is said to be running on a specially specially customized version of Android, but be built around the Facebook platform. Anyway the delay seems to be good, as it gives more time to refine its plans for the mobile OS.
This is not the first time, both the companies are tying together, they had joined together for smartphone Salsa and ChaCha that offers a deeper Facebook integration.
Its also reports that the Facebook has already hired some previous Apple software engineers, and we may hope that the new hires will make significant contributions to the customized Facebook version of the Android OS.
Anyway let's wait and see whether the social networking giant will become a great name in smartphone space also?
