Hey guys! I guess most of you have heard that Facebook is about to present "its new home on android", which could mean a version of android for the rumoured "Facebook phone". Just like Amazon did it with the kindle. It's pretty obvious that Facebook has no interest in supporting our growing platform by not developing a Facebook app (which is okay as long as Microsoft gets access to the APIs) and not developing an Instagram app (for which they dont even open the APIs to Microsoft). Instagram could be very popular especially on Windows Phones with all those cool trendy devices which set a kind of trend in my eyes.
Could it be that Facebook fears too strong competition in WP8 which results in not supporting our platform? Do they want to stop our momentum before they start releasing their "own" OS? Would it make sense to stop our momentum if they can stop possible switchers to join our platform and wait for the Facebook phone? I'm kinda surprised that nobody started this discussion yet. What do you guys think?
