Facebook announces Slingshot application a Snapchat competitor
Facebooks Creative Labs today has announced their second new application for Android and iOS operating systems, named as Slingshot. The application, that was accidentally released by the Facebooks developers earlier this week in the Google Play Store is now official for the public to download for free of cost on both the platforms.
Like rumored in the past, the new application will be a competitor for the existing messaging application from the market, like Snapchat for instance, where with the new Facebooks Slingshot too, users will be able to send and receive short length videos and photos that "don’t stick around forever", actually these files will disappear after you viewing them within the new app.
So to be clear, you will be able to "Sling" a video or photo to a bunch of your friends or one, what youre up to, whom you are with or even a selfie, with some writings and colors over it. In order for your friends to open what you just send, he will have to send/reply you back with a "Sling", meaning a picture or video before they can view what just came in their inbox. Dont get us wrong, you wont be replying the shot with a reaction to whatsoever that just came in, as you are not aware what exists in the video or photo you just received, but only sending back with what you are currently up to or about doing some cool stuff around, to know what your friend just sent you. Following that, users then send reply with a reaction or just swipe it away, which will clear it forever. Seems to be fun and interesting?
"With Slingshot, we wanted to build something where everybody is a creator and nobody is just a spectator. When everyone participates, there’s less pressure, more creativity and even the little things in life can turn into awesome shared experiences. This is what Slingshot is all about."

HTC First Facebook dedicated smartphone
Few weeks of rumors and speculations and here we have - new HTC device, called HTC First and created together with (and for!) Facebook. Its surely not a flagship model, but also not a low-end device.
Actually it has quite nice specifications:
- Platform: Android 4.1
- Processor: Qualcomm® MSM8930AA 1.4Ghz, dual-core
- Memory: 16 GB, 1 GB RAM
- GSM 850/900/1800/1900/2100, HSDPA 21/5.76, LTE 4/17
- Display: 4.3-inch, HD 720p
- Battery: 2000mAh (non-removable)
- Main camera: 5 MP camera with auto focus, LED flash, BSI sensor, f/2.0 aperture, 28mm lens, 1080p video recording
- Front camera: 1.6 MP camera
- Dimensions: 4.96 x 2.56 x 0.35 (in) (LxWxT)
- Weight: 4.37 oz
What is special about this device, is very deep Facebook integration. It has its own Facebook launcher instead of HTC Sense launcher. What else?
- Cover feed: A constant, fresh stream of photos and updates from your newsfeed, cover feed is always present when you wake up your phone. It lets you stay up-to-date on your friends’ latest activities in real-time, all the time. You can swipe through to see more photos and updates, double tap to “like” a post and comment right from cover feed. To learn more about cover feed, check out this video.
- Notifications: Notifications from apps and friends appear right on your home screen. It’s easier to see when you have a missed call, calendar reminder or new message. Open a notification with a double tap or clear them away to see your Cover Feed. To learn more about notifications, check out this video.
- Chat Heads: The mobile messenger lets you jump in and out of conversations while you do other things, like watch a video and browse the web. Reply right from chat heads, or move them around if youre not ready to respond. Plus you can send and receive texts and Facebook messages from the same spot. To learn more about chat heads, check out this video.
- App Launcher: See your favorite apps and post right to Facebook from the same spot. You choose what’s on your app launcher—press and hold an app then drag it anywhere.
- Instagram: HTC First is the only phone that comes with Instagram pre-loaded.
Personally, Im very curious how this device will work with its custom launcher and what will be customers judgement. I think it has a huge potential. The idea of new custom launcher is more then interesting. Lets take a quick pick how it looks like:
To me, it seems to be very simplified version of Android launcher. It might be a great choice for users who are not expecting their phone to be multimedia all-in-one device, but they want to easily stay in touch with their friends using the most popular social channel. There is also Instagram pre-installed, so sharing your great moments captured with 5 MP back camera will be easy as well. Additionally, it is very likely that the overall system performance in HTC First will be very good. Qualcomm 1.4 GHz dual-core CPU in pair with 1GB of RAM memory will probably bring you smooth user interface experience, considering the fact that device doesnt have pretty heavy HTC Sense on board. So, do you think it is a device for you?
