Creo que se pasaron un poco con el botón ese… y ahora que harán con google+.
One of Facebook's greatest strengths is its ability to make hundreds of friends seem only a few keystrokes away. Now, a smartphone is trimming those few keystrokes down to one. This week, I tested HTC's appropriately named Status, the only smartphone in the U.S. with a dedicated Facebook button, located just below its QWERTY keyboard. This button is designed to make Facebook easy to access no matter what you happen to be doing on the phone. The button even glows when users are doing something on the phone that they could potentially share with their Facebook friends, such as visiting a website. The Status costs $50 with a two-year AT&T contract, and monthly data plans for the phone cost $15 for 200 megabytes or $25 for two gigabytes; monthly voice plans start at $40. The Status runs the latest version of Google's Android operating system and has HTC's Sense user interface, which gives the phone a polished overlay and some extra options for personalization. An HTC spokesman wouldn't say whether the company was making other devices for other social-networking services like Twitter or Flickr. But does this Facebook button make a big difference? It certainly lessens the steps for certain Facebook tasks on a smartphone. Take "checking in" to Facebook Places, a way of tagging oneself in a geographic location and also seeing who else checked in there or who else "likes" the place on Facebook. This process usually requires opening a phone's Facebook app, opening the Places tab in that app and waiting as the nearby Places list is populated before choosing one and checking in.
