Facebook faces an important journey today. The popular social network will present its new launcher based on Android that will come with its own hardware. However, it seems that such a movement does not arouse great expectation among users, or at least that is what emerges from a survey in which 82% of the participants stated that they were not interested in it. HTC First for a future purchase.
Mark Zuckerberg You need to do a good job today if you want to attract public interest to the new phone from Facebook. Being clear, the movement seems somewhat strange, in the absence of knowing more in depth the proposal of Facebook, and it is that having a device focused on the social network cannot be said that it is something too necessary, when today we have applications and widgets to manage the profile within our smartphones and tablets.
Anything that is improving the service and experience, as well as expanding tools, welcome, but an operating system around Facebook it is a bit exaggerated, in addition, the HTC First it also doesn't appear to be an extremely powerful machine. From what we have been able to know so far, it is more like the good devices of the past generation than this one. However, as we say, we will have to see what Zuckerberg tells us. A correct approach can always turn the matter around.
Either way, the entrance attitude of the people does not seem to be anything positive. Only 3% of respondents by I dare are a priori convinced that the smartphone of Facebook it would be for them a purchase option, while a resounding 82% do not consider it that way at all. At the same time, 15% of the sample prefers to wait before making a pronouncement.
The hypothetical smartphone of Amazon it does not attract too much the attention of users, although it does so to a greater extent than the mobile of Facebook. Up to 10% of those surveyed in this case contemplate their purchase, while 66%, for the moment, are reluctant. The low expectation for the smartphone of Amazon It surprises us a little more, honestly, especially seeing how good the product is. Kindle Fire, and knowing that its essence (low price / high performance) can be transferred to a terminal.
In spite of everything, we will be attentive to the details that Zuckerberg offers us. Hopefully they can make it more interesting than it seems at first.
