hey guys and welcome to this week's episode of d3 live substan- be talking about the motorola core tablet now the motorola xoom was the very first tablet that was launched with android 3.0 honeycomb it doesn't like google is going to be doing the same thing with motorola with the motorola core so what we do expect with the court is there will be the very first tablet to launch with a new Android Ice Cream Sandwich now that delicious name definitely will equate to some pretty cool upgrades announcing the full version of itunes sandwich I'm going to not talk too much about that as opposed to the tablet cell but it does look like motor oil will be getting it first and the core should be the very first tablet that is launched with ice cream sandwich alright so let's talk a little bit about the tablet itself now pretty much all tablets these days will pretty much all of them across the board are powered by a dual-core processors in the case of Android they're pretty much all just the same Tegra 2 processor now this is a dual core 1 gigahertz CPU very very fast for going on a phone or tablet or anything like that however with combined with honeycomb it can be a bit slow sometime so you know sometimes it can be really really speedy but on occasion can lag just not not we'd be quite perfect so instead I either really enjoyed and do all kinds of different things to optimize performance looks like they're going to much much easier way which is just going to be adding a lot more power one other change from the core is opposed to something like the zoom is the fact that it will have a four by threes aspect ratio so this is very similar to the ipad and ipad 2 and what this means as opposed to the zoom which was a very long screen which is nice for watching movies and stuff but sometimes it can be a little bit unwieldy to carry around and polls and everything does look like the core will have a more standard 4 by 3 screen resolution so what like it won't be quite as good for movies and whatnot but it will be nice for web browsing and a little bit more of a full screen experience anyway guys for the same segment of d3 live i'll be taking live questions from everyone in the chat as always every episode of d3 light is coming from the live audience should you have some see your own blog to be so squad you take a couple of questions it's 3d a fad 3ds been a fast like 60 years now um I think three is overblown right now I think that everyone's like oh let's go do 3d and then people kinda like kick him back because there are a lot of downsides to three right now um said I don't think 3ds ever going to go away like I said threes been around for a very very long time on all kinds of different forms and if you can't look back you can see like it got really popular that kind of fell off and now it's getting really popular and the technology somewhat there but Upton technology is entirely there so I think 3ds going to start going back down and once everything's glasses-free once there's a lot of 3d content once a lot of this stuff is taken care of I do think it will take off and whether that's going to be in a year or ten years I don't know but I do think 3d for now is a bit of a fat I think it will be going away okay I don't want that I think it will be cooling down a lot I think a lot of this emphasis on 3d is going to slacken off quite a bit do I think quad core the core will shoot in the battery life or make it hot um it's always a possibility but I really don't think it'll be too bad i mean a lot of this is the fact that they build these chips they try to have the same power efficiency and in fact a lot of times I try to build and better so you know it does have four physical cores it's gonna be more powerful that does not necessarily mean that's gonna just drain tons of battery life and kick off tons of heat because there are a lot of really cool tricks and that everything that they could do now that said we really haven't seen a whole lot we've seen individual we've seen engineering samples we've seen them show it off we actually haven't seen it in a tablet so it very well may be worse on battery life it may kick off a lot of heat but we just don't know that yet so I don't really want to say one way or the other but I would definitely give them the benefit of the debt I don't think that just because it can be powerful it's gonna be no just make us extremely hot tablet and you have like three minutes of battery back I'm I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on that one am I excited for AMD bulldozer yeah definitely I've been a big fan of a empty i used to use their chips i use until now but AMD definitely has a lot that they can go for with bulldoze or i'm excited i think that there's a lot of potential there but again i have really seen a whole lotta it's still not out yet so I'm definitely gonna reserve judgment be I am excited really am looking forward to what they have to offer with it um was the ipod touch camera sucks so much uh well i don't think it's horrible I mean in good lights on that at all um but it's a very very small sensor in fact I've got mine right here um I think one of the big things they talked about is that I bought it just thin right and you can't put a big bulky camera in there so it is there it's pretty small camera there's no auto focus ring tonight that and it's well I think point seven megapixel it's not particularly great for taking pictures but um I'm hopeful I think that they will be doing some better things with the ipod touch 5th generation I definitely think just technology in general is always dancing stuffs always getting faster better you name it so yeah I mean as far as why it's just not that great i think it's just because i have to make a really thin camera in there and there's just not a whole lot they can do and obviously they don't want to you know these cameras don't cost anything at all for them to make so they want to keep the prices everything down but hopefully they will start to you know and prove that with next ipod touch um when do you think the optical drive will die out for good uh I give another few years um I think optical media for computers is going to be out just like just like floppy drive I mean I'll say that right now I've got an optical drive in my computer I built it a couple months ago or so I've used it once to install windows and I used it once to watch a DVD which look terrible because it's the DVD so yeah I mean optical drives are really not that necessary for a lot of people I mean sure if you really are always doing blu rays or DVDs or CDs I can you have to be kind of helpful but on the whole of it for computers I don't really see the optical drive lasting for more than a few more years I mean for consoles and that kind of stuff if we can see it hanging around but for the most part I just don't see a whole lot of point2 optical media and computers right now
