Zuckerberg's big mobile idea slammed by critics!

Facebook's plans to 'take over' user's mobile phones with new software have come under fire.
Billed as the social networking giant's 'big idea', the Home software unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg at the firm's Silicon Valley HQ last night has already had a rough ride.
Om Malik from tech news website GigaOm said it 'erodes any idea of privacy,' while Wired magazine described it as a 'triumph of mediocrity.'

Well, they have given it a load of specifications that aren't really needed by facebook itself, as well as making it very social-based, meaning those that do not have a membership to those sites will not buy this phone.

If this really is Android based, they shouldn't have closed the system. Big mistake. Don't follow in the footsteps of Apple, Facebook. A website should stay a site, nothing else.

Yeah no. Facebook know too much about me already. I don't need an entire phone based around it.
