Facebook Home is launching Worldwide tomorrow for selected devices. IOS is receiving as well as selected android devices.

cnet had an article on it..I think it says HTC will get it first though.

The HTC First is the 1st product to receive Facebook home

Errm, I'm not sure where you saw that... Apple allowing Facebook Home on iOS? :rolleyes:

That was my error. What I ment to say was that IOS would get facebook home with a partnership between Apple and Facebook. Zuckerberg mentioned he would like home to be on IOS with Apple's green status.

Zuckerberg was throwing wishes in the air. He said FB Home could only happen if they could partner with Apple. I seriously doubt it'll ever happen.

I don't have a compatible device, but when I check the link in the store it says

Not available for your devices country instead of the usual not compatible with your device :confused:

I side loaded it on my Note 2 because it's not available to download in the UK, but the app still does not work, just launches the old Facebook app.

Most non push chat programs will pummel the battery as they stop the phone sleeping properly.

it does work, I'm also in Europe but your Facebook needs updating

it worked, but it's pretty mediocre. Basically a scrolling news feed, instead of Touchwiz/Sense

yeh even after 1min i was pretty bored of it to be honest and soon they will push ads on it!
