hey I'm Kareem levy and welcome to rumor has it the show that rounds up the week's biggest tech rumors and you can vote on what you think about the rumors too in the interactive player if you're watching on cnet this week is all about the many shades of tech and by shades I mean colors so many colors oh and remember blackberry yeah let's get started first up Samsung is holding an event on September fourth to reveal its next phablet the Galaxy Note 3 according to Sam mobile the note 3 will initially launched during the first week of September in black and white variations but it will then debut in pink by late October but here's the catch the pink version might only be exclusive to South Korea and Taiwan Samsung has not revealed any specs for the note 3 but some reports claim that it'll have a five point six eight inch Super AMOLED 1920 x 1080 display a 13 megapixel camera and a choice of 16 gigs 32 gigs or 64 gigs of internal storage it might even capture video in 4k resolution but that seems highly unlikely mostly because what would you play those videos back on your $5,000 television that you don't even have next a Reddit user posted an image of an xbox one that the person says can be ordered by Microsoft employees working on the Xbox team the image shows a white xbox one with a white controller the Kinect would still be black nobody can confirm this image but when asked about it on reddit Microsoft's Director of Programming Major Nelson answered maybe way in the future what might not be so way in the future though the black xbox one could be released november eighth according to gaming site kotaku that means it be out a week before the ps4 nice move Microsoft but the Xbox is still a hundred dollars more than the ps4 so who really wins here next we can't finish this color talk without mentioning the next iPhone we've talked on this show before that the iphone 5c could come in a rainbow of colors and that the 5s could come in black white and a special old champagne color but according to Apple tracker Sonny Dickson the company is planning to launch a fourth iphone 5s model he posted images to his blog featuring what he claims is a new gray or graphite iphone 5s with a black trim color me not impressed although I'm super into the gold iPhone I love the little bling with my ring get it and finally poor poor blackberry right on the heels of it possibly putting a for sale sign on itself it now might be looking to spin-off blackberry messenger into its own company called BBM Inc according to report in the Wall Street Journal at blackberry live in May the company's chief executive said that bbm would hit other platforms as summer well it's now the end of August and we haven't seen much in that department according to the journal though blackberry has been moving executives into its messaging team and it's working on adding features like video chat what do you guys think is a spin-off blackberry messenger going to help the company do you use BBM would you don't forget to vote and leave a comment and ask the cnet council what it thinks the cnet Council is composed of five editors who cast their votes anonymously their opinions are not an endorsement by cnet or CBS Interactive obviously because these are rumors folks and the scenic counsels verdict is yes three out of five editors think that bbm will split apart from blackberry one editor says that shortly after the rest of blackberry sands bbm will go away forever rest in peace blackberry that's our show everybody please share your rumors at rumor has it at cnet com or call us at 1 800 750 cnet and tweet us and tune in next week for more tech rumors you
