Facebook launched their new app 'facebook home'

Facebook has taken another step closer towards their today’s most rumoured facebook phone by launching their new Android application ‘facebook home’.  The app was preloaded in an HTC phone first.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg started the conference by joking that “today, we're finally going to talk about that Facebook phone. The meeting was held at a stage in headquarters of facebook in Menlo Park, California.

The application is available for download from 12th April. The ‘facebook home’ is an application that changes the way the user uses on their Android phone, rather than a new operating system. The HTC One will launch in US on April 12, Zuckerberg confirmed that the app will launch on Orange and Europe soon.

Zuckerberg told the ‘facebook home’ has been designed for people to redress the way of interaction with modern computing devices. He also said that for the past 30 years the
computing is done around applications. He told that many people today turn on their computer uses the application they need and shut down.

He asked to the media what they feel if smartphones were designed around people rather than applications. According to Zuckerberg home has been designed from the ground to make people the centre of mobile use.

From the press conference we feel that according to Zuckerberg mobiles are centre of today’s social experience. He says that how you found between meeting and it's easy for you to check out updates in your phone rather than turning on your computer.

Facebook itself is a model for that said Zuckerberg. Totally we can say this is an app form of facebook like the ‘facebook touch’ etc. If you want to see your photos you need only need to open the application.  

Zuckerberg said that by unveiling this app he needs to bring all the news updates and know things that happen around world on your phone.

The launcher app runs on top Android phone and below applications, meaning that you can run all your normal Android-based apps onto of Home.

He also gives some clues about the coming soon facebook mobile. He told that the company had considered about launching a facebook phone. He also hinted that facebook doesn’t like to limit its experience will surely try to make a place in the gadget market.

We can say that Zuckerberg is also bothered about what facebook can do in market from his words "Even if we built a really great phone, we might only be able to provide that experience to one or two percent of the total market, at most”

The launcher replaces home screen and Android lock with its Cover-feed. There is also a tab named ‘feature’ that shows full screen photo updates. It’s not clear that if the users will be able to post from the lock screen itself or not.

There is also a Chatheads tab which is an example for Zuckerberg works; putting people in the centre. In the launcher it’s a chat widget, like the facebook messenger for the computers. It appears on the top of the screen. It allows you to quick chat.  The 
Chatheads works with both text messages and messenger.

As from the first reports, facebook says that people who use the HTC One, HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S III and 4, and the Galaxy Note II can download the ‘hom’ launcher from April 12th.

Facebook also announces their plan to partnership with HTC that will see a phone that has the new launcher preloaded launched on April 12th. And the point we need to remember and read with this announcement is that the rumours say that HTC will be the makers of the first facebook phone.
