CNET News - Facebook unveils 'Home' for Android

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announces new software that will transform your Android phone into a social device built around people, not apps.

He said, "you can just throw her away", then, "that's how we put people first." A little Stepford creepy.

[KevinVeroneau]

Did anyone notice how nervous he was...

[MrBilliam]

Geeze. How much does Facebook think we're actually on Facebook?

[CNuno]

I liked the "chat heads" thingy, though I hated this new "HOME". First, I'd like to interact with ALL of my apps, and not just one... Second, I think it's perfect the mechanism that Android uses; while disposing widgets of your liking, you can still access the most important apps that you wish to use. And third, since "chat heads" are part of "HOME", I will not be using this software, thus, I think FB dropped the bar low. But then again, that's just my opinion... :/

I canceled my facebook years ago, so theres no way i would want this on my android or the phone itself

[SukiObito]

its not the phone dude, its "Home"

[WinstonLovesYou]

why does he have the facebook app on the facebook phone? what is this facebook inception?

[bowchickawowbowyeah]

omg... next thing you know Facebook will notify your friends every time you take a sh*t.

[kevinjohn]

I use facebook to play games and seeing my friends photos on my lockscreen is simply not a good idea

[RichardAlecPepin]

Built around FACEBOOK, not people. My "cover feed" is just going to be baby photos and unfunny e-cards.

[PeterBenedetto]

Ugh, I wouldn't use this in a million years. It looks like a pain; I like interacting with all of my apps not just one.

[Tyleron]

so it's basically a launcher, or android skin you download? no thanks, i like my homescreen the way it is.

[MrClassified]

Legendary talker! No ummmms after any sentence.

[MrLumiiiiiii]

This is the reason why I am switching to iPhone. Can't live with knowing that a horrible app like this is somewhere in my Application Store. I might see it accidentally, it would be brutal trust me...

[JeySaranyan]

Thank god this is not compulsory on Android! and not available on all Android phones! Amen!

[JonathanMichael]

Is Facebook losing it's mojo that they have to make a phone?

[chriscam]

I get the whole "relaxed work environment" but can't this guy just wear a decent dress shirt with his jeans? This constant hoody thing I find ridiculous.

[Supuhstar]

1:30 "Our app purposely causes wakelock"

[francocamacho]

60 dislikes and 60 likes, who will win?

Nice product, lack-luster presentation by Mr.CEO.
