Everyone who just can’t wait to get their hands on Facebook Home can now download a pre-release version of the software that’s apparently “buggy and incomplete.” MoDaCo has got its hands on a pre-release build of Home APKs — “the main Facebook (FB) app (‘katana’), the now-integrated-with-your-SMS Messenger app (orca) and the Home / Launcher ‘shell’ app (home)” — that will run a decent simulation of what the final build will look like once it’s released on April 12th. MoDaCo says that anyone interested in downloading the APKs needs to have a device with “a maximum resolution of 1280 x 768 and the ability to completely uninstall your existing Facebook app” and notes that anyone installing the APKs does so at their own risk. With the Facebook Home release just four days away, it’s hard to imagine too many people bothering with a bug-ridden early version of the software but it’s still interesting nonetheless.
