Mark Zuckerberg denies that Facebook prepares a smartphone

How many rumors we have seen about the new device that HTC could be preparing for the famous social network Facebook. Many pointed to a Qwerty keyboard, others to that it would have a new operating system, which would not be Android, and others only spoke of a device with integration of Facebook, in the style of the HTC ChaChaCha. However, some statements by Mark Zuckerberg in this regard have seemed to clarify the matter a bit, letting it fall that the assumption will not exist Facebook Phone.

And it is that after the recent rumors, which dropped the possibility that the device of Facebook be delayed to next year 2013, after the problems that HTC had had to manufacture the same during this year 2012, there were several journalists who questioned Zuckerberg about the device that Facebook you might be thinking of pitching.

Mark was restrictive, he said that "building a telephone would not really make much sense to us", referring to the interest it might have Facebook in having your own smartphone. According to these words, it seems that within the company it does not seem the smartest thing to develop and manufacture the well-known Facebook Phone. From which it follows that they are not actually working on any device.

However, it would not be strange if all these statements were only to divert attention. Facebook You might be thinking of following Amazon's strategy, and launching your own devices. However, it would not be surprising if the people of Palo Alto did not have in mind to bring the project of the device to reality, since reaping a disastrous success with a mobile device would be an unnecessary risk that they do not have to take. So, if Mark Zuckerberg is being honest, we will not see a device with the Facebook logo on its back cover for the next year and, apparently, not for the next few years.
