I could not help but notice one of their Cover feed screenshots showing an advert -- http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v2/yY/r/fNNR8sV8Y3W.png . OK, this one I think I get. Why have full-screen standby ads only on Kindle?
But yes, ads are not out of the question in the future.

It's pretty, but I left with no idea what exactly the product is.
It's a Facebook. Same problem as ~4 years ago when people first saw the iPad: "What exactly is it?" "It's iPad." "How do I quantify it in my paradigm of notebook computers?" "You don't." You're trying to quantify it as a smartphone. Facebook is positioning it as...well...a Facebook.
Facebook are trying to do to Android what Google is doing with Chrome to the desktop.
Doesn't look like its for anyone over 30.
The greatest benefit of a facebook phone to me has nothing to do with photos, status updates, etc (although I am likely in the minority). Facebook, to me, has become an address book of all of my friends, with contact information that updates itself when it changes. If facebook replaced my address book with my facebook friends list, and texting and calling to them "just worked", hopefully using facebook-to-facebook ov…
What happens to Facebook when the original generation of users have kids and those kids see Facebook as their parent's social network?
Just looked at all the videos. I wanted to like this but I'm really unimpressed. I don't understand why anyone would install this. All my friends seem to be using Facebook less and less and this seems to be another way to lock me into Facebook's ecosystem. While they could easily allow you to contact your friends in all the ways which you normally communicate with them - SMS, Email, Phone, the only thing they integra…

The source reveals that the video mast is actually an animated gif (or cinemagraph, as these tasteful creations are also known as). The stutter in the beginning kind of gives it away, but still quite impressive they included such a long edit and got it to load relatively fast (coming from reddit where uncompressed gifs run amok).
Could you perhaps screenshot what you're seeing or paste a code sample? I'm seeing the same thing as cocoflunchy, just a element, no gif.
Also, as a previous reply pointed out, what they're doing really doesn't count as a cinemagraph- FB needs to stop butchering words.

Last week would have been pretty annoying -- every single little circle would have contained the exact same red and pink equal sign. The image would have been absolutely useless as any sort of UI indicator. Perhaps this will encourage people to use pictures of themselves for their profile pictures? Might be a chicken/egg situation though.
The reality is, this rarely occurs and really isn't that bothersome. We've been building Frontpage - a similar product for making RSS, news and social feeds all available from the Lock Screen - for a few months now. Same idea, no inputting passwords. No fumbling through multiple apps. Just easy access to your content. http://www.frontpageapp.com
