Isikhethi se-apula I-Facebook inokuthile okukhulu ehlela ukwabelana nathi ngo-Ephreli 4. Esimemweni esithunyelwe kwabezindaba, i-Facebook isimema ukuthi "siza ukubheka ikhaya layo elisha ku-Android." Akukacaci kahle ukuthi lisho ukuthini ngempela "ikhaya elisha", kodwa kungenzeka inkampani iveze ifoni ye-HTC enenguqulo yayo eyenziwe ngokwezifiso yohlelo olusebenza lomthombo ovulekile okucatshangwa isikhathi eside.
Uma imibiko ye-Bloomberg kusukela ngoJulayi izokholakala, lo msebenzi usunesikhathi eside usebenza, futhi umphumela kwakufanele wethulwe emphakathini ngo-2012, kodwa ekugcineni, iphrojekthi yahlehliselwa emuva. nikeza i-HTC isikhathi sokwembula eminye imikhiqizo. Nakuba ukusebenzisana kwangaphambilini kwe-Facebook ne-HTC, ocingweni oluhlangene lwe-HTC ChaCha, akuzange kubone impumelelo enkulu ngenxa yesithakazelo esincane emkhiqizweni, i-9to5Google ibika ukuthi lezi zinkampani ezimbili zisebenza kanzima emkhankasweni "ozogxila kumakhasimende angaba khona, hhayi i-hardware noma isofthiwe." .
Kusazobonakala ukuthi ukuhlanganiswa okujule kangakanani i-Facebook ihlela inkundla yayo, kodwa sesivele sazi ukuthi i-Facebook isivele iqalile ukufaka izibuyekezo kuhlelo lwayo lwe-Android, ngaphandle kwendlela yokusabalalisa yesitolo se-Google Play, ukuze ihlole izici zayo ezintsha inkundla.
Ehlobo eledlule, lapho ukuqagela mayelana nokusebenzisana kwe-Facebook-HTC kusezingeni eliphezulu, isikhulu se-Facebook uMark Zuckerberg wagcizelela ukuthi i-Facebook yayingasebenzi nanoma ubani kunoma iyiphi i-hardware. "Ngeke kube nengqondo," esho ngaleso sikhathi. Kunalokho, ukhombe ekuhlanganisweni okujulile nezinkundla zeselula zamanje, njengokwabelana okwakhelwe ngaphakathi kwe-iOS6. Kusukela lapho, i-Facebook iye yandisa izinsizakalo zayo ukuze ifake ukushaya kwe-Wi-Fi yamahhala nedatha yeselula, futhi inkampani iphinde yamemezela ukuthi ihlela ukunikeza idatha yamahhala nesaphulelo kubasebenzisi abasebenzisa uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Facebook kubathwali baseYurophu.
"Ikhaya" elishiwo esimemweni lingase libe ireferensi yesikrini sasekhaya, njengoba ngokusho kwe-Wall Street Journal, i-Facebook isebenza ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Android oluzobonisa ulwazi olusuka ku-akhawunti yakho ye-Facebook esikrinini sasekhaya. UFacebook kuthiwa ufuna ukwandisa isikhathi abasebenzisi abasichitha kuFacebook ngale ndlela. Uhlelo lokusebenza kuthiwa luzoqala ukusebenza kumadivayisi e-HTC, kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi lungatholakala kwamanye amadivaysi esikhathini esizayo.
Uma ubheka phezulu, kubukeka sengathi i-Facebook inokuningi okumele ikulethe endaweni yayo, futhi imodeli entsha yase-Amazon ye-Kidle Fire ibonise ukuthi akuyona nje i-Android ye-Google engaphumelela. Ngesonto elizayo, sizobona ukuthi kufanelekile yini ukuthuthela "ekhaya elisha" lika-Facebook.
Futhi wayibeka futhi Andrid e... inhloli.
