Facebook Home could head to Apple and Microsoft

Social network admits to mobile software discussions with the companies.
The Facebook phone was finally unveiled earlier this month, and arrived as downloadable social interface,Facebook Home. Available for selected Android devices – or a standard for the HTC first – Home enhances content interactions and messaging.
And while CEO Mark Zuckerberg praised the openness of Google's OS at the recent launch, Bloomberg reportsFacebook Home may not remain an Android exclusive for long.
The social network's director of product Adam Mosseri admitted that there are continuing talks with Apple and Microsoft about expanding Home to their respective iOS and Windows Phone operating systems.
Mosseri, said: "We’ve shown them what we’ve built and we’re just in an ongoing conversation," adding that Home for iPhone would be modified to suit Apple's needs, potentially looking hugely different to the Android design.
He continued: "It may or may not be Home. "We could also just bring some of the design values to the iOS app. That might be how it ends up. Or we could build just the lock screen. Maybe then it’s not called Home, it’s called something else."
