Facebook phone surfaces again
Some folks have discovered a Bluetooth SIG entry for a device named the INQ Cloud Touch. The name doesn’t give away much (except that it’s by INQ, will probably rely heavily on cloud services and has a touchscreen?), but we can’t say for the phone’s description. According to the SIG entry, the Cloud Touch will be an Android smartphone built with messaging in mind (expect a physical keyboard?) and has Facebook built into its core. It will also feature widgets just for displaying different Facebook content (status updates, albums, videos and photos) – talk about a dedicated phone! Well no details about release dates and prices, but if the phone is real, expect it to be a hit. Or maybe not, since the last phone built for being sociable (the Kin) didn’t do too well. Does Facebook have the secret ingredient to make the phone work?
