Now everybody wants to build a phone , maybe the new FaceKINbook When the money is there you can think in anything. The envy for the Palm webos web-based best smartphone OS perhaps. I wish them luck, but I just see a wasting of time and money on this adventure.
The News:
"Facebook is building a mobile phone, an unnamed source with knowledge of the project told TechCrunch. The company is reportedly building the software for the phone and working with a third party to build the hardware.
Two high-level Facebook employees, Joe Hewitt and Matthew Papakipos, are said to be secretly working on the project, which is unknown even to most Facebook staff. Both have deep operating system experience.
Hewitt helped create the Firefox browser and was working on Parakey before it was acquired by Facebook in 2007. Parakey, which never launched, was described as a "web-based operating system". Hewitt also created all of Facebook's iPhone web apps and then native apps. Papakipos was leading the Google Chrome OS project until June. He then quit and went to Facebook. Separately a Facebook spokesman denied the company is developing a mobile phone, saying it is focused on better integrating the online social network with mobile phones."
