Verdict: The HTC First (aka the FaceBook phone) Is A Flop

Apparently I was not alone in my FaceBook phone skepticism. After slightly more than a month on the market, FaceBook's HTC First has failed to win-over consumers. Dislike: HTC First Is A Flop Exactly how badly did the First/FaceBook phone flop? Only 15,000 devices actually made it in to customers' pockets. Although the debut cost of $99 (with 2 year contract) was fairly standard within the mobile phone industry, as of last Thursday, the price dropped to well... 0.99 cents. Ouch. While AT&.... read more

Why the Rumored FaceBook Phone Is A Concept Worthy of the Ridiculist

FaceBook OS? A FaceBook phone?! Please tell me I'm wasn't the only person who rolled my eyes and audibly groaned upon reading about the rumored release of a FaceBook phone, likely to make its debut sometime this year. FaceBook is trying to take over the world thing aside, let's discuss this from a technology angle... The rumored device doesn't have a unique OS, but is ultimately an Andoid-based phone with OS modifications added courtesy of FaceBook. Short of feeding an ego, I do not understand.... read more

They're young. They have 1,000 followers on twitter who watch their every move. They know the latest trends. And therein lies the problem. While Twitter and social media sites can be a priceless mar.... read more
