What Android devices will have access to this?

[Paul627g]

Will older devices eventually have access to Facebook Home and other related apps? I'm sure many will be but same time is there a minimum OS/device requirement necessary to support use of these efficiently?

I know many of us rock newer devices but same time many of FB's users are probably still using older devices, will they be left in the dark. ?

I notice they say the notifications can be wiped/removed with a " swipe ". Does that hint at Android 4.x and above?

I would expect nothing less from the enthusiast and developer community, and to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if that's something Facebook's "Home" team is hoping for. They can build Facebook Home as a solution available to those with nicer or more recently-released devices, and leave compatibility/performance work on other "non-supported" devices to a relatively small group of community members. Anyone who really wants Facebook Home on one of those devices could easily uncover the ports through as much as a quick Google search.

I would like to be able to at least try it out on my HOX+ to see if I like it or not.

Just curious who would even want facebook home? Basically facebook already indicated there will be ads on it. I can't imagine someone would want to see ads on their launcher 24/7.

Ya, that's most likely going to happen today.

For those of us who are looking forward to this update for Facebook, does anyone know when it will be able for the HTC Vivid? Or any way I can have access to it NOW?
