The selling point of this device is the novelty aspect. You can interact with a physical device simply by Liking a Facebook page. By keeping it digital, you do not traverse mediums and it will be adding very little to the smartphone age. You can fake the flip transitions, but it is just not the same.
Or drop a bit more cash on an android tablet displaying a web page using the FB API.
