At the announcement, CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted that only about a third of the world is online at this point—we’ve written about his strategy for the rest of the world—and that Facebook has the opportunity to “change the relationship that we have” with mobile devices.

Facebook is growing in the developing world…
…where most mobile growth is happening…
…on Android…
…but Facebook isn’t making much money there…
…so it wants a more prominent place on those phones.
