Facebook just finished up its media event, and to our surprise, most of the discussion was not about a new smartphone. Instead, it was about Facebook's new 'Home' launcher for Android devices that promises to put "people first in an app first world."
Home's not a forked version of Android, but rather a deep software integration with Google's OS that features a family of Facebook apps and a gorgeous UI. It changes the look of everything, from the Lock and Home screen to Messaging and more...

HTC has sent out invitations for a huge media event tomorrow morning. How huge? Huge enough to spread across two continents. The handset-maker will be hosting simultaneous keynotes in both London and New York.

RIM's long-awaited BlackBerry 10 event just finished up, and the company had quite a lot to talk about. On top of announcing that it's rebranded itself to BlackBerry (no more Research in Motion), it unveiled its first two BB10 handsets.
