Facebook Denies Mobile Hardware Rumors

Thursday, 27 January 2011 11:00 Written by Chris 0 Comments

Dan Rose, Facebook’s head of business development, has officially shot down rampant rumors of a Facebook-branded mobile device on the way from manufacturer HTC.

The comments were made to the Reuters news service following a long period of whispers concerning HTC’s Sense user interface and its very tight integration with Facebook’s social services.

This is really just another example of a manufacturer who has taken our public APIs and integrated them into their device is an interesting way. The rumors around there being something more to this HTC device are overblown.

Rose reiterated that, not only is there no Facebook-branded HTC device on the way, Facebook has no mobile hardware ambitions at all at this point.

In other iPhone 4 news, the team at 9to5Mac.com has discovered a bit of code available via the iOS SDK that indicates that direct video uploading on Facebook is at least one of the new features headed our way. As currently understood, it would seem that videos can be uploaded at 480×480 and 30 frames per second and Facebook’s use of HTML5 means that Steve Jobs’ anti-Flash stance won’t get in the way.
