Facebook and HTC to cook Android Buffy smartphone

Called them a tetra pack with a unsurpassed presence in our daily routines both personally and professionally. Recently it is heard that, our dear Facebook has joined hands with one of the renowned smartphone makers HTC to create a smartphone which has Facebook at its core. Interestingly, Facebook opted for HTC over Samsung as Samsung is also the topmost player of the smartphone market. Sources also revealed that, Facebook is planning to craft the new phone over the dynamic Google's Android for mobile programming. To add more spice, Facebook smartphone will be deeply supporting HTML 5 for the mobile application development.

To make you more aware, it is not the first time, that Android would be used in such mod by the non traditional phone makers. Amazon's, new blistering Kindle Fire is also packed with the heavily hacked and modified version of the Android.

Neither, Facebook or HTC has uttered a word about this but according to sources, Facebook is planning hard and fool proof to enter the territory which is already ruled by some tried and tested names like Apple and Samsung. Even though, all big giants, who are king of their own core areas are now heading towards exploring the boundaries of their rival. For example, Google launched Google+ to take on Facebook. Amazon blazes the territory of Apple iPad with its Android based Kindle Fire. So, how can Facebook can sit idle, and it has rolled its sleeves as hardware player to take on all three names at a time.

We, hope that this new mobile programming code Buffy is only a code name for the Facebook.
