The long-fabled Facebook Phone is finally official. Sort of. Today at a press event, the social networking giant introduced Home — its new software ecosystem for Android devices. Home replaces your smartphone's lock and home screens with Cover Feed, a new interface that puts "people first, not apps," making status updates, photos, and messages from your Facebook friends the first thing you see. While all of the functionality of Android remains intact and accessible, Home merges many apps and functions into one consolidated experience. Other apps can be accessed from within Home UI, and both Facebook and SMS threads are merged into one messaging window called Chat Heads.
