Facebook Teases With Android-related Product Announcement
Facebook today invited members of the media to attend an Android-related product announcement at its Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters on Thursday, April 4. The invitation reads: "Come see our new home on Android."
The invitation includes no other information, allowing us to speculate.
Facebook could unveil a new version of Android packed with Facebook features, or even the highly rumored Facebook smartphone, which is said to be made by HTC.
Rumors of a Facebook smartphone have been circulating around the social network for over a year, but its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, recently dismissed them by emphasizing the company's aim to be on all smartphones.
This would mean that Facebook could present an Android "skin" like those used by all Android handset manufacturersand not an operating system.
Facebook declined to comment.
HTC unveiled two "Facebook phones" -- the HTC ChaCha and the HTC Salsa -- in 2012, which featured dedicated buttons for easy access to the social networking site.
