[BI] Facebook Is Basically Forcing Its Employees To Use Android Phones

post #1 of 41
Thread Starter

That's no consolation to its employees, who are increasingly getting nudged, cajoled, and even ordered to give up their iPhones for Android devices.

We dug into the reason for the corporate directive, and the answer we got—from a handful of ex-Facebookers and others familiar with Facebook's plans—surprised us.

This is amusing. Deeply amusing. I wasn't aware till now that there was much difference. Is it coding quality or is it features? Both?

I suppose it's like showing a dog what it did wrong and then rubbing its nose in it.

Both. The Android app is missing features and is so glitchy that using the web interface is easier/faster.

I have a Galaxy Nexus and running AOKP Milestone 6, LOVE IT! Facebook has been a PITA for a long time! It hasn't updated it's code so the Facebook to contact sync no longer works. It's never really worked on nexus devices anyways. It always takes forever to load anything and sometimes will load the comments but you can't see pictures. Very frustrating...I'm so happy to hear this! The wife's iPad Facebook is great! It gets notifications almost a second after I post.
