Facebook Testing Auto Video Playback in Mobile Feed
Never
Seeing your buddies' pictures in your newsfeed is already drawing a lot of your data. I can't imagine the increase in the amount of consumed data that this new "update" will bring with it.
I can foresee a lot of complaints for bill shock. Especially from people that have teens at home, those kids spend their entire day on facebook.
Besides, most Android phones still have just 512MB of RAM, the facebook app is already sluggish. Oh but I am sure this update will make the app a lot faster clap clap clap... Good thinking facebook!
As a developer I am pretty sure that most Android phones have exactly that amount of RAM.
Practically all the mid range and high end phones have at least 1Gig of RAM, but those phones that aren't usually handed to teenagers. Simple entry-level phones dominate this sector of the market (games and apps for simple photo edditing and integration with social networking are a lot more popular than those used for business)
The average teen-android-phone in the US has 512MB of RAM, a 1GHz A9 Processor (or dual core A5), and a WVGA display.
