Facebook to release new software for Android devices

Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) has unveiled new software for devices that run Google Inc.?s (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android operating system.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Facebook ?Home? gives the social networking company?s content top placement on smartphones.

Instead of displaying a phone's traditional menu of apps, the Journal says, Home takes over a handset?s cover screen and populates it with posts from a user?s news feed, photos and messages from friends.

Home will be pre-installed on a new smartphone from HTC Corp. and will be available for download from the Google app store on April 12.
