Do We Really Need a Facebook Phone?

Media_httpcdntheatlan_ivqac

Facebook is apparently trying to develop their own smartphone again, and they're prompting us to wonder if we really need one, and if a smartphone is really the answer to their problems.

The New York Times' Bits Blog's Nick Bilton reports that Facebook is trying for the third time to build their own phone. Bilton spoke to sources close to the project, and Facebook has apparently recruited, "more than half a dozen former Apple software and hardware engineers who worked on the iPhone, and one who worked on the iPad," and they're trying to get their dedicated Facebook phone out by next year.
