Facebook Phone Possibly Coming: What Did Mark Zuckerberg Have To Say About This?

A Facebook Phone could possibly in the works as a conference in Menlo Park, Cali. is set for next week.

Facebook's invitation said only "Come See Our New Home On Android."

A weeklong IDC survey of more than 7,000 people ranging in age from 18 to 44 years old with iPhones or Android-powered smartphones showed that four out of five check their handsets within 15 minutes of waking.

At a TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco in September, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg said the social network giant is focused on mobile devices.

"It is really clear from the stats and my own personal intuition that a lot of energy in the ecosystem is going to mobile, not desktop (computers)," Zuckerberg said during an on-stage interview. "That is the future. We are going to be doing killer stuff there."

Zuckerberg said Facebook isn't going to build its personal phone, but rather work with the phones to take Facebook to the next level. Facebook already allows people to message one another, search what people are talking about and even call their friends.

Facebook has made a priority of following its more than one billion members onto smartphones and tablet computers, tailoring services and money-making ads for mobile devices, AFP reported.

With that, Facebook is trying to adapt to phones, attempting to find ways to have advertisers promote while people are looking at it the social network.

"Now, we are a mobile company," Zuckerberg said at the conference.

As people tend to rely more and more on their phones for a lot of their needs, social media is trying to adapt to that transition.

Zuckerberg rejected suggestions that Facebook would make its own smartphone, adamant that the company had no intention of stepping into the fiercely competitive handset hardware arena.

"Apple, Google, everyone builds phones -- we are going in the opposite direction," Zuckerberg said at the time. "We want to build a system deeply integrated in every device people want to use."
