Facebook Home has been downloaded to various Android devices a little under a million times since its launch last month. The software suite comes pre-installed on the HTC First, which has been facing lackluster sales and recently received a price drop from AT&T. A million downloads may seem like a lot, but compare that to Facebook’s over one billion users and it seems a little low. Compare that also to Google’s estimate of over 1.5 million Android devices being activated each day, and the potential for Facebook Home to be … Read more

In an attempt to curb malware, viruses and trojans, Google has … Read more
