Help
Now all the dust has settled on the Facebook shares, it now appears while all this has been going on, Facebook has been getting cuddly with HTC in china, to bring out their own phone, onto an already crowed smart phone market.
I suppose what else can you do with a windfall of US$104 billion, from ripping peoples data off, so if an Facebook powered phone come out, who would buy one ?
come on hands up

No way would I buy a facebook phone EVER! I have doubts as to its viability.
Just waiting eagerly for my new Iphone.

For this to make sense it will need to be something like the Kindle Fire in approach (customized Android). They've already touted their own app store. They would want to track everywhere you went and everything you did online. They would integrate advertising in a way Google hasn't done on Android.
Even if I wasn't an iPhone user there is no way I'd be letting Facebook get that much information out of me.

Yep, it will be some sort of mungruel hybrid version of android I am guessing, that will collect so much information about you, it won't be funny.
