The main objective of this launch is to make people more updated, more connected with their social connection. Now people can be more socially active. The foretelling that Facebook has set its eyes over the launch of “Facebook phone” has totally rejected by
Zuckerburg that the company has no such intention to plunge into the toughest completion of smartphone as social network is intended to follow the opposite direction. He said

However this Home is targeting to all Smartphones and tablet computer making Facebook a new and enriched experience, more graphic more visuals in just turning on your mobile.

"It is really clear from the stats and my own personal intuition that a lot of energy in the ecosystem is going to mobile, not desktop (computers)," "That is the future."
Analyst views
The predictions is quite true because people are now feeling more ease in using
Smartphone rather than accessing PCs because its portable and PCs are immovable. However in IT market trends changed within seconds. Facebook is only interested to develop a complete integrated system applicable on all devices used by people.
On the other hand Facebook is a social magnet and HTC is utilizing the gravity of this social network to compete
Samsung in the Android platform, sound good. It is something that everyone is expecting and in need. Samsung that has dominated the Android market for a couple of years needs a strong competitor and HTC is the right one. So this joint venture is now ready to reap its fruit of success. Enderle remarks in this perspective are significant.
"It is not so much a Facebook phone as imagined by Zuckerberg as it is a lifeline for HTC, which needs a champion device and got Facebook to back it,"
Future estimation:
The analyst is right in his analysis that market trend is following Samsung so this social campaign has given a chance to HTC to uplift itself against Samsung and this news is full of excitement for the Smartphone lovers. The new launches by Facebook are the main reasons that Facebook market share is getting increased than Google. It is estimated that the social giant will increase its share from 9.5 percent revenue to 13.2 percent this year.
