Facebook’s supposedly forth coming smartphone, reported by All Things D, paints the picture of a company that either thinks it can do no wrong, is feeling incredibly squeezed by Apple and Google.
The impression created is that Facebook is weaker and has more problems than most people imagine. Not good with an IPO supposedly around the corner.Since Walt Mossberg’s site gets all the best leaks, I am betting the report is as true a story as Facebook is willing to tell 12-18 months pre-launch. But if their story is a tad off, the alternate reality is more interesting and might be more successful.
The same sort of hubris that makes Facebook believe the world is clamoring for it to be in the smartphone business will eventually be its downfall. Facebook has more corporate ego than Microsoft could ever imagine and it will come back to haunt the company in the form of big legal challenges.
