Buffy, Social Networking Mobile of Facebook? – Rumor that mentioned Facebook would make a smartphone touted true. The device was given a pass code 'Buffy'.
In the All Things D reports say that Buffy is the result of collaboration between Facebook and the Taiwanese smartphone vendor, HTC.
However, the rein of the project control is still held by Facebook with the command of Chief Technology Officer Bret Taylor.
Android operating system will be selected as the basic platform of Buffy. Well, because the device is specially cultivated by Facebook, this phone will automatically put forward the access to social networking than other phones.
It has not mentioned what kind of special access will be offered by Facebook and HTC. But it seems, Buffy will be expected to have deeper features integration with the Facebook service.
Facebook party itself still has not given its official statement about the appearance of Buffy. But from the comments that had ejected, the giant social networking site does not dismiss that the mobile industry into one of their next shot lands.
"Our strategy in the mobile business is actually simple. We think that every device will be better when it is more 'social'. And we were trying to wade through the entire mobile industry," said Facebook spokesman, quoted by All Things D.
"Many parties, such as operators, hardware vendors, makers of the OS, and application developers to bring social networking experience to more people around the world," he continued.
