Facebook Home : A new service for Facebook User

New service called “Facebook Home” is going to be launched by Facebook on April 12 for Android Users. In the beginning, only a handful of existing Android phones will be supported. The tablet version, would come within several months said a Facebook official.
Facebook Home is similar to Android launcher apps as it changes the home-screen of the devices. It shows the Facebook updates from your friends on the home screen. It also allows users to update their Facebook status directly from the home screen.
“Today’s phones are designed around apps, not people,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at an event in California, the US. He said that Facebook Home puts people first instead of apps and makes an Android phone a social device.
Facebook also announced a new phone – HTC First – that will come with preinstalled Facebook Home on it. The phone had been announced for the US market.
This is not the first time the social networking website is making a push for a Facebook-specific phone. HTC Chacha, which was announced in early 2011, was also dubbed a ‘Facebook phone’ as it came with a dedicated Facebook button.
