‘Facebook phone’ system revealed by Mark Zuckerberg

FACEBOOK head Mark Zuckerberg today unveiled a so-called ‘Facebook phone’, as he revealed the social networking site could now become the central feature on Android mobiles.

At a highly-anticipated event at the company’s Menlo Park headquarters in California he said consumers would be offered something far more than an “ordinary app” - an entirely “new experience” called Home.

He said: “Today we are finally going to talk about that Facebook phone, or more accurately, we are going to talk about how you can turn your Android phone into a great social phone.”

He added: “We are not building a phone and we are not building an operating system but we are are building something that is a whole lot deeper than an ordinary app.”

Within minutes of the announcement - which arguably marks Facebook’s biggest jump into the mobile market - the subject began trending on Twitter.
