The new feature is simply adding voice to the Facebook Messenger app, which is set up to compete with Skype. Smartphones and tablets with the Facebook Messenger app will be able to make phone calls over wi-fi with anyone in users’ friends list. While Skype has had this ability for a while, Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) has greater potential because of the higher user engagement, not just in numbers but also in time spent on the site to go along with the convenience of accessing the voice service without having to log into Skype.

Do you thin the voice feature is leading to a Facebook smartphone? What will you be looking for in the new Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) earnings report?
