The Buzz Report: AT&T's latest evil idea: it's evil

2012-03-01
hey everyone I'm Hollywood welcome to the buzz report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week double gadget goodness iPad buyers are apparently made of money and the time-honored and torturous tale of trying to get TV online but first it's the gadget of the week let's do two gadgets of the week since its mobile world congress week in barcelona and the fun phone news is crackin first up the HTC One X which is approaching phablet territory with a 4.7 inch screen but it has a quad-core processor to power it an 8 megapixel camera and wonder of wonders it will run ice cream sandwich at launch plus it comes with Beats Audio built-in so it can be your little hotel room stereo plus you get 25 gigs of free Dropbox cloud storage for two years so you won't even miss the expandable memory nice phone also getting a lot of buzz the Nokia 808 PureView a phone with a 41 megapixel camera 41 yeah it also has five blades for a closer shave I mean the phone will have a bigger camera sensor than most phones so the megapixels aren't a complete joke but it will default to 5 megapixels for normal shooting and let's be honest 41 megapixels is pretty obviously a marketing stunt to distract us from how the peer review is a symbian phone that will cost six hundred dollars in the US when it launches in May and now for the news Apple sent out invites to an event next Wednesday that we're pretty sure will be the ipad 3 announcement the latest crop of rumors plus the invite suggests some new touch technology maybe getting rid of the physical home button on the bezel plus rumors say there could be three versions of the iPad which should feature a Retina display and a faster asics processor and then some reports out of China even suggest that the new iPad could cost seventy to eighty dollars more per model than the ipad 2 more the top-of-the-line model would be like nine hundred dollars in fact that's about a hundred bucks less than a macbook air unless the new touch technology thing refers to a new touchscreen macbook air would you probably cost like 2 grand but whatever I am in for that AT&T this week floated the idea that hey maybe mobile app developers should pay AT&T for the data that their users consume it'd be like a fun benefit for the user because we would download an app that didn't count against our arbitrary and way to load data caps that are imposed by 18t and then the app developer could pay ATT to provide that data which we all already pay for anyway what an ingenious new business model AT&T needless to say response has been tepid speaking of bad news if you had toy story 3 tron legacy or Mars Needs Moms in your netflix instant streaming queue prepare for disappointment stars is taking its 800 streaming titles out of the netflix library because the two companies could not agree on terms see the problem is Netflix wants to stay in business and stars wants to ride the sinking ship of controlled distribution and content with holding all the way to its early grave it's exhausting really however just in time for a game of thrones season 2 HBO GO is coming to xbox so you can totally get HBO on demand through your xbox as long as you pay for the xbox live gold account which is like 60 bucks a year and you have to pay for HBO access on your cable system which is like 60 bucks a day and by the way good luck finding Game of Thrones on demand anywhere else anywhere it is nowhere and that children is how the Pirates win our and that's the buzz report for this week everyone I'm Mollywood and thank you for watching you
