We know Facebook has a lot of mobile users and there are many applications to support ‘Facebook’ in various types of devices. But as Facebook Mobile Chief Erick Tseng said at the GigaOm’s Mobilize Conference, there are a number of apps that weren’t developed by Facebook.
There are some rumors and anticipations about Facebook phone and Facebook application for iPad. But only a few things are known for certain. Whether Facebook phone is released with an embedded browser to utilize Facebook interface, there is one thing can’t be changed. It is the fact that big players really want are fighting to enter the mobile market.
Amazon will release its first tablet model in the near future. Even though it’s not easy to forecast the effect of the newly developed model, many experts say that it would be more powerful than other tablets such as Zoom and Galaxy Tab. Most of all, Amazon has its successful experience through Kindle.
Under this market dynamics, Facebook seems to be very prudent and considers many business options according to environmental change. Facebook is very focused on how to enhance itscompetitiveness such as adding “Timeline”. Although Google is trying to catch up with Facebook with Google+ in SNS, and vice versa in the mobile world. I wonder how Facebook will present its mobile service in this area.
