Facebook phone: Who would buy this thing?

commentary OK, so Facebook is reportedly working on a smartphone with HTC. My initial reaction: who cares?

The latest rumor that such a smartphone may be on the drawing boards comes from All Things Digital. The process is in the early stages, and it's unclear whether the phone would ever advance past that stage. If Facebook is smart, it'll put this project down as quickly as possible.

A Facebook phone may sound like a great idea, but consumers are accustomed to devices that can handle multiple tasks, access any service, and tap into all social networks--which may not … Read more
