Facebook for Android demonstrates platform’s consumer credentials
Published by Ewan on Wednesday 29th July 2009, 12:22 Comments | Filed under: android

That’s it then. Facebook for Android is coming soon. An official Facebook client will apparently (if rumours are correct — so says Phandroid) hit the Android Market this week.

And this is very, very good news for the Android platform.

If you thought Android was going to be a reasonably interesting but ‘techie’ platform sitting on the sidelines of the mobile industry, think again.

Soon I’ll be able to buy a £49 Android phone with decent specs from Tesco. To go with their rather innovative £30/month unlimited text/calls/data plan.

The mobile revolution is continuing and it’s gathering pace fast.

(Nice spot, mobilegd.)

  • Tell me more about this £49 Tesco Android phone please.
  • Sorry to be clear that's what I can see in the future - it's not reality yet!
  • It's a reality I'm expecting too, just hoped you had specifics.
    The sub $100 Android phone has to be on one of the device manufacturers minds for emerging markets. The ability of Android phones to be truly smart without ever having to connect to a computer is one of my favourite aspects of the system.
  • I've been as much of a sceptic of Android as anyone, ever since the techies in my last company started dancing around the office on the discovery of a command prompt. However, after recently playing with a "yet to be released" Android device, I am now seeing how this could be something entirely more interesting for the con & prosumer. Never quite an iPhone, however.
  • if only Symbian and Facebook collaborated, I think its unbelievable how Nokia has not pull this off yet, I'm totally convinced that Nokia is simply not interested I suppose, its the only logical explanation.
  • Their N97 Facebook widget is ok...
