Mac OS XIf his recent Facebook activity has to be believed, than Facebook’s founder and CEO might have just ditched his iPhone for Android. It was only last month when Mark made the headlines for switching to iPhone (it was 3GS, not iPhone 4) from BlackBerry. But the experience wasn’t all that great as he posted about his frustrations with the device, citing poor battery life, and phone calling quality. He also said that he will get the new iPhone 4 and see if that solves all his problems before switching to Android.

And now according to his recent Facebook activity, it looks like he has finally gone for an Android phone.

But given the amount of revenues that he generates from the most popular social networking site, I wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps both the iPhone 4 and an Android phone to fulfill all his needs.
Oh and now that Zuckerberg is using an Android phone, we may finally see an update for Facebook for Android app which badly needs to get updated to come on-par with the iPhone version.
UPDATE 1: As it turned out, Kashmir Hill was first to notice this on Mark’s profile. Credit to her for the find.

I dont care. I dont like Mark Zuckerberg as facebook founder because of too many ads and suggestions in facebook anyway. Not my business. I dont want to know him.
(#)
or he used the facebook app on someone else's phone
(#)
who cares…
(#)
extremely useful info…:P
(#)
He's already done it if you look at his private profile you can see “Installed Facebook for Android”

So a guy whos the Mastermind behind what is facebook… owns possibly… just possibly.. TWO… mobile devices… ever think maybe for a second… just think… that MAYBE… he has the $$$$ to blow on all the new gadgets… just because he has an android does NOT mean hes gonna like it better. or its better… Me personally, and all my buddies with the iphone (3GS) have no issues. best reception outta blackberries and droids on our same carrier… ive tested this at various tmobile/bell/rogers etc. most ppl issues are with there carriers. not there devices. just unaware to tell the difference.
(#)
……and this is important news because?
(#)
If he needed 4 chargers for an iPhone, I'd hate to know how many he's going to need for an Android phone.
(#)
Maybe he's using the Android client because he's heard so many comments about how terrible it is and plans on fixing it.
(#)
mmm who cares???
(#)
He needs to update the app, really. The user experience on the iPhone sucks! He can keep is Droid, like the rest of the DONKS that have it.
(#)
Probably he was testing Facebook App for android so people would have an updated version for android like iPhone.
(#)
Well, Android has the much better Facebook integration… and it's better in every other aspect, too, so… no surprise there.
(#)
Why might we see an update? The iPhone app badly lags the features on the main site…
(#)
He's smarter than I thought.
(#)
…. funny android was ported to iphone… wheres the iphone ported to android?
i think that in itself speaks volumes to how good the iphone is… why buy a droid phone.. when you can get an iphone.. and have both os's?
(#)
I dont care. He meant nothing to me. He is just regular person.. Not important person anyway. We are important people, you know. By the way, people have different taste in any cellphones, that's all. For me, iphone!

better facebook integration? have you actually used the facebook for android app? absolutely pitiful
(#)
His latest weekend Gawker photos show him using iPhone 3GS..
(#)
WTF anybody gives a damn?
(#)
Not important news at all.
(#)
Haha really? Actually, the reason is that Android users are happy with their OS, they don't want the inferior iOS on their phones.
(oh and jokes aside, thr real reason is of course that iOS can't be ported, because it's closed source)
(#)
Well done.
(#)
With billions of $ he get, he can get billion of phones.
(#)
You don't need to sound so mean… Probably they just didn't have time… Or just HAVE A TINY FAN BASE. BEAT THAT!
(#)
Somebody publish his mobile number please. What privacy?
(#)
Well what do you know, That didn't take long, new Facebook app on Android released a few hours ago, thank god
