Recently, Facebook unveiled a software suite which stakes out a “home” on Android smart phones as it steps up its challenge to Apple and Google in the booming mobile market. Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said the new software weaves the social network into the home screen of HTC and Samsung phones powered by the latest versions of Android to focus experiences on “people and not apps.” Facebook called the new software “a new way to turn your Android phone into a great, living, social phone.”
The software, which allows users to see Facebook first when they turn on their phones, will be available for download from Google’s online Play shop in the United States starting April 12, Zuckerberg said. Google took more than half of those revenues, but Facebook’s share in growing: eMarketer said the social network accounted for 9.5 percent of mobile ad revenues in 2012 and is expected to take 13.2 percent this year.
Technology here we come!!!
