INQ Face Book Phone Launched

Now see the launch of the INQ Cloud Touch, the 1^st phone to offer deep integration with Face book.

First the social network Face book was a website for Harvard students. Then it became a vast global community with 500m members. Today it makes another leap towards ubiquity as phones begin to appear that offer not so much a Face book app or Face book features, but rather a way for users to run almost every aspect of their lives through the website’s services.

Face book has consistently denied that it was making a phone. Google and Apple may have their models, the social network said, but we don’t think a phone is the way forward. at present, however, the first of at least 2 manufacturers that have been running closely with Face book broke cover. There is not a Face book phone, but there are Face book phones.

It would be simple to say that this is just another product launch, coming ahead of the Mobile World Congress trade fair in Barcelona next week. In fact, however, this news taps in to a trend: Face book messages and instant online chat facilities are all the text communication an entire generation now uses.

Henri Moissinac, Face book’s Head of Mobile Business, says we want to have every user in every market using Face book, we’re investing in smart phones and at the same time as in mass market phones because we believe with vast features and great integrations, every phone can become sociable.
