Facebook schedules suspence event for January 15 at HQ, Facebook phone expected

Facebook schedules suspence event for January 15 at HQ, Facebook phone expected
Facebook has sent out an invitations for a press conference on January 15 (Tuesday) at its California headquarters. The invitation doesn't give nay clue of the programme. It just says, "Come and see what we're building." But considering that the company generally doesn't host any events at its headquarters in Menlo Park, California, this is going to be a major one. Last time Facebook hosted such an event at its Palo Alto headquarters in California about a year and a half ago, where Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had announced the company's partnership with Skype. 

 
It is expected that Facebook will be launching a Mobile phone. In a set of HTC device, with leaked information on the web, a model identified as Opera_UL is said to be that of the Facebook Phone. Talks of this phone have been around since November 2011. The HTC and Facebook had collaborated earlier and launched the ChaCha and Salsa phones with a dedicated Facebook launch button with deep integration of the social network. However a Facebook phone at last would be a far more enthralling prospect and the latest rumblings suggest it would have an Android OS skinned with HTML5. 
 
The New York Times reported in May last year that Facebook has hired more than half a dozen Apple engineers who worked on the iPhone and iPad to build a Facebook smartphone. Then Bloomberg reported that the phone will debut in mid 2013. Now that the phone's name has resurfaced once again, we'll know for soon whether or not it is for real. 
 
Lets wait an see if its a phone, a tablet or something more.  
 
 

 

   
Come and see what we're building.
