Facebook acaba de lanzar su propia aplicación de fotos para el iPhone; llamada creativamente Cámara de Facebook, que te permite tomar una foto, aplicar efectos y leyendas, y compartirla en Facebook.

La aplicación es desarrollada por el propio equipo de Facebook y no por Instagram, ya que la adquisición aún no se ha cerrado. Una de las ventajas de la Cámara de Facebook sobre Instagram es su capacidad para subir múltiples fotos. También cuenta con 14 filtros, la posibilidad de etiquetar amigos, dar "Me gusta" a las fotos y enviar comentarios.

Dado que la aplicación está estrechamente vinculada a Facebook, ofrece una interacción más fluida con el sitio de redes sociales. «El gran problema que intentábamos resolver era que si estás en medio de una experiencia y quieres compartir tus fotos, a menudo resulta demasiado engorroso pasar por todo el proceso», dijo Dirk Stoop, gerente de producto de Facebook Photos.

La pregunta ahora es cómo encajará esta aplicación si Facebook ya tiene Instagram. Stoop admitió que existe una superposición en la funcionalidad, pero consideran que las dos aplicaciones son productos separados con personalidades distintas, que sirven a propósitos y audiencias diferentes. Si ese es el caso, habrá cierta competencia leve, dado que Facebook ha decidido hacer crecer Instagram de manera independiente.

En cuanto a otras plataformas como Android, Windows Phone o Blackberry, Facebook se ha negado a comentar sobre productos futuros, pero dijo que está «analizando cuidadosamente qué podría ofrecer una buena experiencia de fotos de Facebook en otras plataformas».

Hasta el momento, Facebook Camera aún no está disponible para descarga en la tienda de aplicaciones de Filipinas, pero se espera que se lance en las próximas semanas.

What is the main advantage of Facebook Camera over Instagram?

Facebook Camera can upload multiple photos at once.

Who developed the Facebook Camera app?

Facebook's own team developed the app, not Instagram's team.

Will Facebook Camera be available on Android or other platforms?

Facebook declined to comment but is considering good photo experiences across other platforms.

Meh. Another new FB app, and they can’t even fix the offical iOS Facebook app.

No wonder social mobile apps like Path are gaining ground. Facebook just doesn’t get mobile.

It took them awhile to release the official iphone FB app, and when they released it, they haven’t even smoothed out all the kinks. The FB iOS app is slow, unintuitive, and just down right clunky.

Di naman din ganun kaganda yung features ng iPhone when it comes to taking pictures iba pa rin yung may slr

Well, duh, of course. Thank you for stating the obvious.

Di ka naman dapat mag-expect ng photos of superior quality na kuha sa iPhone when compared to those taken from an SLR. The selling point is that the iPhone’s camera is mobile, you can easily bring it around and snap a picture quickly. I can hardly think of a DSLR as handy and mobile, not with it hanging around your neck.

Maka-comment lang eh no? Hay naku, ang iba talaga di na nag-iisip.

Buti na lang wala pa sa cheapanggang Android. I mean, seriously, that OS is as fragmented as the islands of the Philippines or Indonesia. Don’t expect Android apps to run as smooth as their iOS counterparts.

pulled it out of android because the OS sucked so much. i mean think about this, facebook apps already stinks then add up the fragmented android os. go figure

I agree with Pepe. It was around a month ago or so. Facebook for Android updated and two new apps were bundled lol

One camera app and one messenger app. A bunch of people started complaining that those extra apps took space bla bla bla

Two and when android users were getting used to the two new apps, Facebook updated again and took them out

So they might have tested it on Android first lol

Pepe · 14 years ago

Actually, they already released it on Android on the second to the last update… and then removed it on the last update.
Weird

Is FB really that insecure even after announcing the acquisition of Instagram? Seriously, we are flooded by a multiple of similar camera apps out there. Haven’t they learned enough from their previous camera app which users gave them negative reviews? Please, not another one… and kindly finalize their Instagram deal if they really intend to acquire it.

“…In its largest acquisition deal up to date, Facebook acquired Instagram (with its 13 employees) for approximately $1 billion in cash and stock in April 2012,with plans to keep it independently managed. …”

huli ka na ata sa balita bossing.
