Facebook home has gone official! Come April 12, selected devices will be able to download the app (which is built around "people") from Play Store. The devices include the Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and also the upcoming flagships - HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4. More devices will be supported soon.
In his press announcement, Mark Zuckerberg, pointed out how he sees the world using more and more smartphones as years pass by. The present phones are built around apps and Mark thinks that its time that we changed our approach towards how we use our phones.
Facebook home is not just a single app. Neither is it an operating system. Its a series of apps that helps us get the information about people we care about, on our home-screens.
Through a strategic partnership with HTC and AT&T, Facebook has also announced the HTC First - which it says, is the first phone that is optimized for Facebook Home.
Detailed specifications about the phone aren't available yet. The phone goes on sale in the US exclusively on AT&T, for a price of $99.99 on contract. It is available for pre-order now from AT&T's website though shipping will start from April 12.
Facebook Home for tablets is expected to arrive later this year.
