Facebook Announces 门户网站 TV, Video Calling Device for the 首页
Facebook announced three new versions of its 门户网站 video calling device today, including one meant for the biggest screen in the house. 门户网站 TV will sell for $149 when it begins shipping on November 5. With it, Facebook members can make video calls to friends and family using Facebook Messenger. The social network is also adding WhatsApp calling to 门户网站.
A picture-in-picture feature lets friends watch a program together, while keeping each other in view. That feature currently only works with Facebook Watch video, but the company has plans to expand it to other services. 门户网站 TV also provides direct access to Amazon Prime Video, Showtime, CBS All Access, 以及其他流媒体服务.
The other two new 门户网站 devices look like photo frames: 门户网站 Mini ($129) has an 8-inch screen, while the redesigned 门户网站 ($179) has a 10-inch screen. 10月15日装船.
不仅仅是摄像机, 门户网站 pans and zooms with the action, Facebook表示, so owners can move around the room and be sure they’re always in frame. In addition, the product’s Smart Sound boosts vocals while turning down distracting background noise.
Because Facebook and privacy aren’t exactly synonymous with consumers, the company has built extra privacy protections into the new 门户网站s. That includes a sliding switch for disabling the camera and mic, and an integrated cover that physically blocks the lens. In addition, the 门户网站 AI software runs on the device itself, not on remote Facebook servers.
The new devices are an improvement over the original 门户网站, 哪个在2018年底首次亮相, but not everyone agrees they’re necessary.
“There is a big opportunity in the streaming wars right now when it comes to content aggregation, and Facebook seems to be zeroing in on that as they enter the already overcrowded streaming space,谢伊·大卫说, president and general manager of 创作's media and telecom business. “They are also adding a social element by enabling communication through the device. The big question is why a new device is needed, and why a phone or smart TV can't do the exact same thing? 在我看来, it seems Facebook is trying to occupy the space that Alexa or Google 首页 take, instead of replacing the set-top box.”
