It's all mighty convenient that Facebook has the "vision" of having smartphones be about people, not apps, when Facebook's strength is people, not apps. I mean the so called "vision" is just an extension of their mission. Nothing really breakthrough from their point of view, although I could see how others from the outside would look at it like that. But for Facebook is just another extension of their mission, just like the auto-sharing feature. Facebook needs the web to rely on as much sharing as possible, and they now also need mobile to be about people - regardless of how good or bad it is for the user in the end (privacy concerns, etc).
