Mobile marketing expert says Facebook could purchase Nokia to build "FacePhone"

We wrote upwards quite a lengthy article the other day detailing the possibility of a Facebook smartphone, or "FacePhone" for giggles, and then we wont go into too much detail here to save your eyes some repetition. According to a written report over at Computerworld, a mobile marketing good based in Paris has predicted such hardware will emerge in xviii months. Yep, we know what you're thinking. Take this with a truck-load of table salt.

Paul Amsellem, managing director of Mobile Network Group and the soul who believes such a device will go reality, as well states that Facebook could purchase Nokia with the state the manufacturer is in, which would give the social network an easy opportunity to go into the mobile market. This in itself is a wild prediction.

"Facebook will launch the FacePhone. And whether information technology has a blue color and a logo with a large F on it, it volition definitely be disruptive. Even at this moment, Facebook doesn't know what it will look like, merely they need to do information technology. Facebook needs somebody with an understanding of networking, applied science, carrier relationships and logistics. They can acquire one of these ii players [Nokia / RIM] for not a lot of money."

Amsellem goes onto say that the company needs to practise something, which anybody will agree with. Facebook has institute itself in a hole with stocks, revenue streams and innovations for the service itself. For the time being, the social network hangs on as an integrated service or app for current mobile operating systems. This will have a negative impact on advertizement revenues with more and more computer users moving to / adopting portable devices.

Rob Enderle, an analyst at Enderle Group, hits the Facebook situation nail on the head though.

"Facebook appears to be trying to emulate Google, much like Google tried to emulate Apple. A re-create of a copy likely won't end up well, given how powerful both of the main iOS and Android platforms are."

It boils downward to the fact that Facebook really is just a place to communicate with friends, and occasionally water the crops. Is there space for Facebook equally an ecosystem with a mobile platform to compete with Microsoft, Apple, RIM and Google? Probably non, but then again this is but an analyst'south prediction, and we all know kickoff-hand how inaccurate these can be.

What exercise you guys think? Would Facebook be punching above its weight?
