2009-06-24
hello everyone I'm Molly would welcome to the cnet mailbag the show where I regularly correct the things that I have said to miss leave you in other shows for example I need to clear up some minor confusion that resulted from the most recent buzz report MCG n was one of a few who wrote in after many years with verizon i painfully pre-order my new 3gs iphone from ATT it is killing me to leave verizon but i figured i would have to wait at least another year now after your latest buzz out i am totally confused should i return my ATT please give me some light all your colleagues at cnet say at least a year if ever I don't know what to do any inside tip would be helpful I can still cancel my iphone well I responded to MCG n and others to say that I don't have any inside information about a verizon iphone at all my suggestion on the buzz report that it's coming to verizon and you shouldn't sign a new two year contract with ATT was based on all the same old rumors and speculation and wishful thinking but i do think it's a good bet there will be a verizon iphone in about a year so if you can't wait that long you know go crazy with the eighteen t although as long as we're confusing you daniel responded to that episode of the buzz report to say hi Molly the next version of the iphone will be available for verizon a friend works with the CEO teaching people in verizon stores about the new phones all she told my dad was that not this year a verra son of the iphone will be available for verizon not this year apple and verizon are talking and in the stage of agreeing on terms verizon said this time though they won't let it pass soon you can stop complaining because it will be a network with some standards helpful right but if I had to guess I would say CES announcement jun 2010 release just a guess ok in other recent big events buzz out loud turned 1000 that was one of the more colorful congratulations we received he said hey mo whoa sorry about that if it's bad it is anyways first of all I want to congratulate bol on its 1,000th episode well done to the bol crew and the rest of cnet for me my days of boring reading stupid articles to fun insightful discussions that help me understand what the article is really talking about that's what we aim to do around here speaking of buzz out loud and our other podcast offerings been had this to say the news cnet com / live site is great to pimp it up a little maybe a minutes until feature can be added for example 1 hour 15 minutes until bol streams live that way people who live in other time zones and are also mentally challenged like me don't have to deal with converting gmt to local time Thank You Ben I really like that idea I pass it along to the team that's working on future features for that page of course it'll mean we have to start our shows on time but we can try anyway if you haven't already check out the cnet com / live page and you can see all of the live streams of our podcasts throughout the day and chat with your fellow viewers it's so interactive alright moving on Jake and several others sent in this question hi what is the URL of the cnet acceptance speech at the webby awards or could you just show us the video i tried browsing the youtube channel youtube.com slash webby but i couldn't find it yeah so it turns out the webby people did not upload the People's Voice acceptance speeches to YouTube we all recorded our five word speeches just like the other winners but then apparently they only put that actual winter speeches on youtube even though People's Voice winters work treated the same as every other winner and almost every other respect so that sucks and the web bees are dead to me and they should be to you too since you are in fact the people and you voted but allow me to recreate this Beach right here thank you seen at TV fans worth the wait right and that's it for this week everyone keep the feedback and the questions coming email me at mailbag at cnet com or send your snail mail to 235 second street san francisco california 94 105 and thank you for watching
