Microsoft courting Facebook for potential Windows Phone powered device.
Ok, so I made a right meal of that title, but it's the best way to describe the situation here. An 'insider' has today announced that Microsoft are trying their best to convince Zuckerberg & Co. to created a Facebook phone.
They want Facebook to create a heavily skinned version of Windows Phone and Microsoft are hoping to leverage their connections with OEM's to give them the best design for a future Facebook phone.
Right now the timing seems perfect to release a Facebook phone because the company currently struggles to monetize its huge reach, what better way than with their very own phone.
