Android phones will soon be called “Facebook” phones, yes your phone will be powered and engineered to be a hub for your Social Media needs. Smart move Mark Zuckerberg? Some may agree, some may not, but when have you ever seen everyone agree on one thing. Yep didn’t think so. Anyways, it looks like this is a big move for both Samsung and Facebook, and it’s all going down April 12. Android users who have the most recent Facebook app will see a prominent link asking users if they want to download Facebook Home. It downloads as a separate app. HTC also unveiled a phone with Facebook Home pre-loaded, the HTC, first.  AT&T is also a launch partner for Home, and will carry the HTC First. It’ll be available April 12 for $99.99, with a two-year contract. ”Our phones today are designed around apps, not people. We want to flip that around.” claims Zuckerberg, whether or not this will be a big move for Android phones…We shall see. What are your thoughts?
