The internet is abuzz with new information that may suggest Facebook is looking to make its own mobile device.
The thought process is simple: Facebook is currently built into a lot of the mobile software on mobile phones. However, now that Google (the creator of the most popular mobile operating system, Android) owns Motorola, it may deflect attention from Facebook to draw members to its own Google+ social network.
Therefore, Facebook needs to make sure that it stays on top of mobile social networking. Making its own phone is one way Facebook can retain users while defending its position as the United States’ preferred social network.

No More DVDs By Mail?

If Steve Jobs announces a new iphone as many expect, the next generation phone should bring some amazing marketshare. The apple way is to produce shiny, exciting products but lapse a bit on core features. The original iPhone was said to be the best smartphone though it lacked features like 3G, email support for business users, GPS, and came with only a modest selection of software because of the monopoly Apple imposes over its devices.
