hey I'm Emily Dreyfuss and I'm Donald Bell and for Kareem leaving welcome to rumor has it the show where we round up the week's hottest tech rumors and we vote on which rumors we think are true and which ones we think our total bunk but the best part is that you get to vote too so don't go anywhere let's jump right into the biggest rumor of the week a 56-page powerpoint allegedly outlines microsoft's product plans through the year 2015 the juiciest bit that the xbox 720 will drop in time for christmas 2013 this excites me way more than an appletini and i think the interesting part here is that they're also introducing a new connect and some augmented reality glasses for 2015 this could very well be fake but it is in line with the timeframe that we've been hearing for a while so whether or not those images of what looks like Jughead or Veronica dancing to some sort of new Xbox Kinect are real when are you going to release a new console alright so this is the question every gamer wants to know when will we see a new Xbox is going to be this year next year or all the way in 2014 i'm a pessimist so i say 2014 that's what we've been hearing all year and i don't really think that that product roadmap looks real I think you're being weighted down on this whole thing it could happen this year right no probably not because they just refreshed the hardware last year 2014 I things way too far off to everyone wants to seem to happen i think 2013 is the perfect year so if you're watching on cnet cast your vote right now using the thumbs up or the thumbs down right next to emily's head using the interactive player do you have the next 30 seconds to vote in the meantime we're going to take this question to the streets of San Francisco but don't go anywhere because when we come back we're going to reveal whether what you think is the same as the cnet Council of experts do you think that the new xbox is gonna come out this year next year or the year after I think it's gonna come out the year after been waiting for for a while I think they'll come around Christmas this year yes here I have no idea I'm hoping this year but maybe next year this year this year in time for Christmas I don't know if I like this next year I probably have to say it'll be two or three years two or three years so it could be as late as 2014 yeah that's what I'm thinking that's what I'm thinking to finalize with me thank you got it okay well the people on the street are pretty optimistic only one guy agrees with me let's go upstairs and hear some more rumors and reveal with the cnet Council of experts thinks our second rumor comes from our good friends over at digit times and a bunch of you also emailed us rumor is that Amazon may be planning to introduce several versions of the kindle fire in three sizes all I know is that I don't care about bigger versions all I want is a faster kindle fire yeah 3 version seems pretty excessive but I think people wanted a 10 inch version of that kindle fire ever since the first one came out our third rumor comes from an anonymous developer speaking to TechCrunch so take it with a grain of salt or 100 this developer thinks that the new auto layout feature in iOS 6 is the smoking gun that proves that the next iPhone will be bigger all right so it looks like this whole auto layout thing is just there for developers to be able to resize their apps across a wide range of different screen sizes I like this rumor but i think is probably more about apple TV than the iphone since Apple has already solved the whole resolution thing with their iphones pretty well yeah and between iphones and ipads but it could mean that we're going to see an iphone that has a bigger or different aspect ratio and finally The Wall Street Journal says that samsung's new CEO wants to strengthen their software capabilities we're wondering a samsung may finally abandoned Android in all their smartphones and just make their own OS since Google is now in the hardware business with Motorola maybe Samsung is feeling threatened and they've sort of made overtures in this direction before because they bought an OS called bada but then we never saw them do anything with it yeah I think I don't really believe in this room for that much because I think android is one of the best things that ever happened to Samsung exactly the CEO probably just talking about making more customizations on Android also just don't do it Samsung don't do it they waited too long if they do it now Google and Apple have the patent on everything and they're going to be lawyers sitting in some dark room somewhere being like just try it Samsung just try it may also be cheering yeah we will get the Richer ok back to our first rumor let's see what the cnet council thinks of the Xbox the cnet council is composed of five Cena experts who cast their votes anonymously opinions org estimates expressed by the cnet Council are not an endorsement by cnet or CBS interactive obviously because these are rumors folks and the cnet verdict is yay they think that the xbox 720 is going to come out in 2013 they're smart people those cnet councillors two of them agreed with me three of them agreed with me so it's fine so you win but most importantly check out how you guys did see the results there right there and that's our show everyone tune in next week for more rumors in the meantime if you've got a comment a room or you just want to chat with us call us at 1 800 750 cnet i'm not sure we'll answer but you can leave a message or write us at rumor has it at cnet com and meanwhile our comment of the week goes to Tony x42 who said Android is like driving a stick shift you have way more power and options but it takes a little bit of work whereas iOS is like an automatic it's easier but you're limited smart smart I still don't know if that's pro war against but I like to comment I think it's both are good sure so leave us more comments and don't forget to follow us on Twitter Facebook and Google+ ok see you next week on rumor has it you
