The has "Facebook phone"! For the media rented in a not so distant past that has since been rewritten in the truth: INQ Mobile, a manufacturer of device with a social bent, has worked with Facebook to release NQI cloud Touch, an Android smartphone with rich Facebook integration. Monday, the INQ Mobile and Foursquare announced they were collaborating on an experience of similar screen for INQ Android devices lineup. Mobile marriage helps users better discover and explore close to via Foursquare.

The current version will offer Foursquare integration - at the level of the OS just as is the case with the integration of Facebook on NQI "Facebook phone" - a deep link Foursquare that gives users instant access to the functionality of the location sharing and recommendation.
"Because it is integrated directly in the Android system, you can archive and explore the application, without even shooting" Foursquare wrote on the blog of the company.

According to materials of the INQ on release press asks to be, "" users will be able to drag back and forth between Facebook and Foursquare home screens, according to what they are doing what they are looking for and they want to connect with.""
We have then, is a range of super-socialized INQ handsets that will equalize the Facebook/Foursquare. The two will compete for the attention of the user on the double House of NQI devices screens. A company may be looking towards a billion users and the other ten million; but in the eyes of the author of the handset, social networks, battle in the arena of location, are equal. Equal except that INQ has firmly chosen step Facebook feed location services from its phones.
Fear that we read as many in the decision of INQ, we must remember that the manufacturer of telephone devices have limited support of the carrier and are not yet available to the United States. As such, NQI will make little done to consolidate the ranks of the Foursquare social hierarchy of networking for the moment.
