Facebook has sent out invites to members of the press notifying them about a mobile event next Wednesday. While there is a ton of speculation about a “Facebook phone”, many have suggested that there is a modified version of Android that will have much deeper integration of Facebook. One alternative announcement: Facebook deals (as we covered yesterday).
Developers have been waiting for Facebook to provide a more robust platform to launch applications on, and many consumers have articulated the desire to have a more integrated phone book that’s automatically updated by our social graph. The potential for Facebook mobile is gigantic and given that Facebook wouldn’t be holding an event to simply announce an upgrade to the iPhone app, there’s no doubt that many are anticipating something very big.
Now let the speculation begin! What do you think Facebook will announce at their mobile event next week?
