Facebook ph-ph-phone?

Say what? When is Facebook going to stop expanding? Never- they have been rumoured to be bringing out a so called "Facebook Phone". Facebook is not actually manufacturing their phone, but more listing HTC as it's supplier and Facebook supplying the software.

Why would you want a phone that is purely built for Facebooking? Isn't that what the Facebook app is designed for on our phones? Well that 5 second wait to logging into your Facebook app takes too long. Basically this "Facebook Phone" is a personalised home page that connects you closer to your fellow friends. Notifications are now on the home page- no need to log on to the app!

Now this will be great for extreme social bunnys, making it quicker for them to reply back to messages and generally more efficient with responses. Facebook is on an never-ending quest to seamlessly integrating themselves into our lives. It seems that the gap between internet immersion and reality are slowly rolling into one. For example "Google Glass" gives users the chance to take "Google" with them on the road. Slowly but surely we are becoming cyborgs.

I'm not against the Facebook Phone, but I'm quite happy with my iPhone. I guess the only great thing about the Facebook Phone is when you are frustratingly trying to load the app and it continues to crash. Now if it is your homepage, no need to keep refreshing!
