Facebook Phone won't roll :- Let's drop down the hammer.

The Facebook phone which is aimed to fit the Smartphones industry - Tag #Trend 

Commentary :- Should we call this a surprise? No, not at all & should we be surprised of the same? of course not. Facebook, for man years has really kept it's twill & flamboyant art of fame on the line & since then many of us can't be sure of what Zuckerberg together with his team is planning for Facebook. It was on Tuesday this week when Facebook event shade light on what was to be expected of Facebook this year.  I can't deny the fact that facebook is trying much harder to be on cliff but should we say Zuckerberg is quietly playing the castle uptown game where giving & taking is too another way of obtaining roses equally? & should we also say Zuckerberg is quietly paving way to smartphone industry? I guess the definite answer here is, YES. Am not a facebook avid as such but for sure designing a specific phone directed for a specific purpose will be creating more harm than good to it's line of competition. We're now introduced to facebook graph search which will now let it's users do a facebook search of people, photos, places & interests. That's a  tool which has raised much uproar to social media platform. Analyst have also given positive opinions which will later see facebook making lot's of backs ( $$$ ) in the course of the year. I've been able to review how various search tasks give +ve results when logged-on, especially for the love birds who see facebook has something to do with their future - where the two become one. Let's not take this too far.
 
 
1. Facebook needs to concentrate  on apps alone.
  - I don't see the reason why facebook should involve making ways to fit the smartphone industry where as developing applications has been the concrete paradigm throughout their line graph.  All what we know is facebook's still not fit in slotting it's ideas in smartphone technology. Last time we saw the company partner with HTC which held strong ties only to get ripped after a period of  2 years. The same was with Facebook buddy with HTC & with these incarnations on list, has left many questions as to why Zuckerberg is still creeping-in for smartphone business.
 
2. Branding OS to sustain monopoly isn't a choice to success.
  - We should be happy of the yet unveiled facebook phone but will it serve a different OS? currently, iOS & Android are serving as primary base OS where as blackberry-OS & Windows -Phone-OS serving as secondary base OSs. Those are not the only ones, we've got Firefox, Ubuntu Phone & palm OS which will be taking root to capture the hearts of consumers later in course of the year. The base question which we should be asking ourselves is, will facebook need an OS with all these OS's making dominants revelations? If facebook was in-need of making good & adorable OS for the world to see then it should partner & work a-bit closely with strong companies like Samsung & Google which entice the perfect bind in Mobile-OS industry. I think it would be well if facebook concentrated on Apps rather than building perfect mobile territory of which the mobile OS industry itself is kinda saturated as well. 
 
3.Working closely with careers is stingingly a menace to forget.
  - I understand FCC (Federal-Communication-Commission) isn't ready to give appropriate licence to devices not standardized by relevant OEM to pave way in stores ready for sale. Facebook will be happy unveiling a definite device but the channels on hot-points aren't going to let go of that without chipping their brand on that very device; Let me say branding & designating channels targeted for market prosperity - totally a disgrace facebook will be welcoming.


 - Still, Facebook faces the same kinds of challenges as any other smartphone player does, so don't expect the company to go wading into deep mobile waters anytime soon.
