hey I'm Emily Dreyfuss and I'm Kareem levy welcome to rumor has it the show where we round up the week's hottest tech rumor and then we vote on which ones we think sounds legit and which ones we think seem like total bum but the very best part is that you guys get to vote along too so don't go anywhere let's jump right in our first rumor is exciting for two reasons first it's because I believe it for once and second that is because it's being reported by our very own David Carr knowing who has a credible source who says that the new kindle fire is coming out on July thirty-first recently rumors from digit times as you mentioned last week said that the new kindle fires were on their way with higher resolution screens the big change according to karna resource is that the new kindle fires are going to have physical volume up and volume down buttons as well as a camera which the first one lacks unfortunately the source is silent on what the new processors will be and there's been no word on Bluetooth or memory which sucks because that's what we care about is whether the thing you can fire it can store more and whether it'll be faster here's why I say yay I think Google's new tablet put a fire under amazon to rush this update in time for the new school season plus karn we trust this source and I trust Carly see I say nay on the July thirty-first release because I think a year turnaround is more likely maybe it'll be announced next month but I don't think it'll come out okay do you guys think the kindle fire too will come out in July if you're watching on cnet cast your votes now using the thumbs up thumbs down right next to Emily's head in the cnet interactive player you have the next 30 seconds to vote in the meantime we're going to take the question to the streets of San Francisco and then we're going to come back and see if your vote matches up with the cnet Council of experts do you think that it's actually possible that the Kindle Fire 2 is coming out next month I have no idea no you know I just read an article about it yesterday and I think it's close yeah well it would be that or they might hold out till later toward Christmas but ya know they sure they should get it together maybe I know that they want to push to get things to market because there's a lot of competition out there I'm not that familiar with it with the kindle myself but I'd be surprised at the update it's so soon after the launch I don't even know what the kindle fire one is i might have a kindle fire one and haven't seen really a lot of updates ladies so I'm really hoping that working on something well the people on the street who deavon heard of the kindle fire seemed about evenly split let's go upstairs and hear about some more rumors our second rumor comes from nine to five mac which says it took a second pass of the supposed iPhone prototype code and found evidence for NFC technology baked in that basically means you can pay for stuff by swiping your phone I have no idea whether this code that 95 Matt keep referencing is real but I think that it makes sense for NFC to be in the next iPhone especially this is a technology that's already in android phones people are already sort of using it at like four places in america and i think that they have to do it i agree because if they don't do it that means Apple will be behind again and that's not a position they're usually comfortable in for long exactly our third rumor is a crazy one because it suggests that connect technology may soon be coming to microsoft's connected car platform a job listing spotted on microsoft site describes leveraging connect Windows 8 Windows Phone bing as your and tell me for the car oh that's literally every single Windows software that Microsoft has except for office exactly and they just don't want you working in the car I mean that is why I actually don't think that this is true at all I think that this is just some really uppity HR person listed all the new sexy software that she could think of for this job listing and it actually has nothing to do with connect not so fast because remember that Microsoft already demo'd this technology and a Ford Mustang in Detroit and it was basically just a glorified backup camera I guess the only other thing was that you could actually sort of wave at the radio to turn it on so you could be like this hand gesture means NPR and this one means jay-z I guess that's easier our final rumor is adorable and suggests that the new BlackBerry 10 devices will out pixel the iphone retina display the site n4 BB claims that it has a leaked internal spec sheet the only thing is they don't say it all where they got this leaked doc but whatever it is it does say that the resolution of the new blackberry 10 n series is going to be ten eighty by seven sixty pixels say that is the worst report I've ever seen they didn't know how to string any words together the Sun dances didn't make sense it was like I am a robot and here are the specs now you know these specs I generate doll room our room ojo right there 2000 ok let's get back to our first much more credible rumor let's see with the scenic council banks about the kindle fire to release date the cnet council is composed of five Cena experts who cast their votes anonymously opinions org estimates expressed by the cnet Council
