Dan Frommer:
My guess is that many — most? — of these people are Facebook users, and could easily see some utility in having Facebook features highlighted on their phones. And — bonus — Facebook’s software looks good. Much better than the junk that ships with typical low-end Android devices.
I agree with Dan. Facebook has a lot of users that couldn’t care less about what phone they have. They check email and Facebook — that’s who they are going after with Facebook Home.
I’m still having a hard time reconciling the users they picture in their ad with the people that actually buys Android phones, but maybe I’m out of touch.
Meanwhile in Mountain View Mr Brin puts on new lashes and lipstick to this Tesla and wonders, why do we serve less ads to these emasculating mobile phones lately?
brilliant!
