Facebook has invited journalists to the unveiling of what it calls its “new home on Android.”
This Thursday’s event will be held at the company’s Menlo Park, California, headquarters. Facebook is not providing further details. There has been speculation that the company could launch a new phone, though that’s unlikely.
Facebook is more likely to unveil a new Android app or some other integration into Android phones.
Citing unnamed sources, the tech blog TechCrunch says Facebook will launch a modified version of Android that embeds Facebook deeply into the operating system on an HTC handset.
According to the TechCrunch, report, the project could actually be called “Facebook Home”, and its hallmark would be a heavily Facebook-ified mobile phone home screen. This could include Facebook news feed stories and data splayed out right on the home screen, along with easy access to Facebook apps.
