A Forbes article reads:
Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, described Home as a set of apps running on Google‘s Android operating system which is exactly what it is.
Home is not ground breaking, it’s not particularly innovative, it’s merely an implementation of a user interface for Facebook on Android but that didn’t stop Zuckerberg from cranking up the hype.
According to Business Insider:
Facebook just unveiled Home, a new app which more or less takes over the user experience on phones running Google’s Android operating system.
The whole point of Android is to get people to use Google’s services, like Gmail and Google Web search. Home basically kills that.
The debate will not even begin to be settled until Facebook releases sales figures.
