Facebook Home: a flop announced

Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook

Facebook Home, the launcher for Android on 4 April by Zuckerberg does not receive the expected success. And the HTC First, the first Facebook Phone, an embarrassing flop.

The premise seemed great. Rumors circulated for months. Mark Zuckerberg would have to present a brand new smartphone weblog Facebook . A few days before the event last April 4, the rumors were, however, scaled down bad. So much so that when we saw that Zuckerberg fiddled with Facebook Home , in many we wondered if it was some kind of bad joke.

The idea could also spark a bit of interest. The enthusiasm, however, is immediately turned off. Just the time of install it, try it for a couple of minutes and can not wait to get rid of. Building Home is very bad.According to the statistics of the Play Store Google has been downloaded over one million times. If they look a lot, Mark Zuckerberg had said some time ago:

"We also realize that a phone and as a result we get that 10 million people use it, for we do not shift the balance of power. Facebook has a billion users. "

Imagine a software that effort just to reach the one million downloads.What a fool.

On a scale from 1 to 5 where the average score with the launcher Facebook was evaluated by users is 2.2. Embarrassing. But the worst is that the HTC First, the smartphone with Facebook Home preinstalled, which HTC has filed April 4, will be withdrawn from the market in record time. Sales are shamefully low. Just 15,000 units sold despite the efforts of the operator AT & T, just to get rid of it, he placed just $ 0.99 . Yes, you read that right.Less than a dollar. Nothing to do. It will propose again what I wrote at the time on the ' First HTC :

"Towards the end he made an appearance on stage lightning Peter Chou, CEO of HTC. He was holding the HTC first, the first Android smartphone that will mount the native interface "Home" on Facebook. He talked about yes and no for thirty seconds. It did not seem much pleased. Maybe he was wondering what he was doing there and if that terminal then there was such a great need.
