CES is definitely a 2014 now joining me here my colleagues my lovely and handsome colleagues yep Bridget Carey and Jenkins in the house and uh you know we're here for CES in-depth kind of talking about some of the big headline news or some of the products or things that stuck out in our minds you know a lot of trends happening here wearables 4k HD TVs you know also smart appliances but I wanted to talk about today we heard about LG's life man and their heart rate earphones for you guys what's your take on the whole fitness band thing we've really seen it explode now wearables and kind of the fitness angle what's your gut which we've got take on this J wait it looks like a category that's really a very very short lived because um your phone can do all this I've got moves on my iPhone and actually there's better than these fitness bands because it knows where I've been and it's got much better display ice sort of thing this is something's going to be absorbed by phones really really quickly they're really nice products I use a Fitbit for a bit but that was it really half a bit what do you think bridget yeah I mean how much you know are you motivated actually put it on one that struck out to me interesting was razor they have one called the Naboo it's supposed to be the best of both worlds the SmartWatch you know capabilities of a pebble where you get your text alerts but also your fitness so maybe they're finding that happy medium you know but yeah right now I'm curious but I'm not dishing out the dollars I mean a lot a lot of Cena editors that are even into fitness have given the wristband to try I've tried multiple ones but over time I don't at first you think it's cool that you know how many steps you took you might like that fear at CES but then after a week or two you're like does it really matter in like you said samsung phones iPhones there's apps and also natively the chips I can track your movements and without wearing anything on your bracelet so I do think they're all jumping you know on board it's there's some interesting things there but short live what's the shelf life guys let's throw out a number let's play with us let's go 6-6 6100 will be in landfill okay that's very sad also um you know we talked about some of the other things out there's sim oh ok well we talked about the you know the pebble right pebbles kind of coming back with their next-gen version the pebble steel I think that one's interesting but again when you talk about short life you know there's something in my gut that feels like pebble was the one that got people interested in this market and that once you see the big players come out with what you know their final polished generations of the smart watches in let's be honest whatever Apple puts out there ah I wonder you know pebble is gonna just get absorbed by then it's like they're the ones that pioneer that but are they gonna be able to stay in the market and be relevant that's I think it's a tricky one for them yeah cuz as soon as bright as Apple comes along or Google right right the big boys who remembers pebble but you know they are making it stylish I mean it doesn't like a toy anymore looks like something you would wear as an actual watch and then you know they're definitely a text or a success story from the tech space as well you know Kickstarter's where they got their start they raised over 10 million dollars from Kickstarter I mean so we shouldn't just you know poopoo and also and be like oh they're in trouble I mean they've had an amazing story just in itself in the tech space so you know we'll see where these wearables go with transitioning over to kind of one of the cool things i saw that i may not buy the samsung bendable TV what do you go with bendable TV did you hear that LG now has 12 hahaha is it is it is bigger because I know they're like sword fighting all this oh yeah who's got the bigger one that's I'm talking about nobody yeah just change it on a whim with a remote seems like some of that's cool to show off to your friends on the big game day you're a baller yeah you have a lot of money right yeah I don't know something different its kind of quirky I can't help it you know well if you guys are insistent a curved screen is a better for you because it's more cinematic cuz it surrounds your field of business it's like we did I max thieriot that's curved on a dome I guess I guess sicamous yeah slight difference you want a big a curve you'd be happy if it was round it's gonna go go hey Jason do you like maker curves well not sure how to answer okay buddy your lot you're blushing I don't know why but you are okay we're also you know Sony's 4k camcorder I thought that was pretty interesting we just saw that from Sony again it's not going to be very affordable but pushing for K into the really true consumer space their pioneering pioneering that i like it i'm not i'm not going to buy i don't i don't have a need 4k camera I don't have a 4k TV well they lost Tommy bought camcorder to use a camcorder it's just on your phone like it sits on phones I'm a bit of Sony that's really successful is the professional end of the absolute cameras for everybody I mean that that she makes loads loads of money so I mean it's kind of exciting and interesting and well done them for making a 4k camcorder but it's not going to say they almost have to because if they have these 4k TVs and it's like well we gotta do something to make content for them so let's encourage people no more 4k this and 4k that it's tricky because also you know it's just shown that people are going to gravitate more towards convenience if it looks good enough or even better than good enough it looks great it may not be 4k but people are still gravitating towards what's coming I mean look at our smart you know point-and-shoot cameras those are those are almost complete like when was the last time I don't know do you guys use plain shoots I just pick up my phone now these days in then I miss I miss a point-and-shoot when I don't have a good flash yeah right that that that's about it so if there may be a terminology issue with 4k and ultra HD I mean are they gonna all use one eventually and then sometimes they use both together to mate to make sure that we all feel good about that also you know another product that we've seen here in trend that we've seen here smart appliances kind of the ecosystem a samsung smart home LG's home chat you know we've seen other devices kind of before the big players have kind of jumped in here from simple things and just all these different interfaces to really control your home do you guys own any of these things even something like a nest thermostat or anything like that no bye I'm very excited about the potential of it obviously it's very very early days and yet a lot of this stuff is very very gimmicky because it's because it's very new I love my nest though honestly it's I mean let's be real it's expensive but I wanted to give it a try just for the standpoint of you know we see so much tech coming in and out of our doors you know at work and so you know it's it's expensive I it's definitely not a general consumer thing yet but it's fun I mean you walk by it detects you there it turns on the heat it's pretty nifty but not not at that not in not even you know what you time out of twenty thirty dollar thermostat versus like about 150-200 dollars yeah for that price but I you know I do like this whole smart home automation some people might be maybe for the anal retentive though like that you know keep track of every control your lights control your crockpot a crockpot are you down with that I don't know what a cruel boy is that much yeah oh yes slow cooker thank you thank you yeah it's slow cooker there you go there you go those an international basis all right so um another thing just being here you know this is the day before CES takes off just asking you guys what are you guys really maybe were you looking forward to sometimes media members and the press are little jaded hello when they a little sometimes when they when they come here year after year but is there anything that maybe you're kind of looking forward to here at CES 2014 well I'm really excited I'm interested by smart watches as an idea and I've not seen one that I would buy or where but I sort of think more phones are getting more complicated they're getting bigger and I can see that something that I where would be really useful i just don't know quite what it looks like on what it does somewhat no one's shown you that thing yeah basically Apple hasn't come out it's pretty insane but you never know someone may will be here and they will come with something this I'm looking for that I'm the same reason give me a reason to put it on my race I mean I also make it a little more stylish too you know well they haven't really targeted the female no that's not what standpoint just I'm just saying you know I've noticed i know i've noticed as well so also what we're gonna do here now guys um you know in depth again every every day at the end of the day we're kind of just going to highlight some of the things that happen but i have a little special segment for you guys okay Marco over there can you hear me Marco we're going we're going to turn up the music this is a segment you know that well we'll get the beat bump in a little bit in a second okay just um just let me just let me just we'll just relax here for a sec and let the music take control okay can we hear that okay you feel that I'm putting somebody of that if I just feel feeling something okay this is what we call siiii yes or see II know yet all right now what am i what I'm gonna do here is I have a few things

CES in depth we're gonna take a break in we're gonna say goodbye to my lovely friends here bridge and adjacent but i'll be back with jim funk from Roku you like that name I like that name I like that you can tell people from Roku are here because they are clapping for that name they're just brand new announced Roku TVs we're really excited about that so we'll take a break we'll be back with Jim and we'll catch you guys in a second like dad had a Honda my mom had a Honda was coming from a 2007 honda accord i traded in for fusion titanium no joke i test-drove 15 different vehicles I kinda was indifferent toward Ford and then i sat in the fusion for the first time and I just like wow this is it you have the power but she had the fuel economy that's what EcoBoost does I love to help people look at what board has to offer all right guys we are here back with roku zone Jim funk they were they were doing the wave over in the back if they do it I Jim and I will continue the wave guys ready started hurry up Jim whoo that was fun okay Jim we're here with you here to show off roku TV I mean this is an exciting announcement for you guys finally getting your UI and interface into a TV set can you kind of tell us about the products and how it came to be sure we make set-top boxes now for about five and a half years and what we did is we took everything we've learned about making a good user interface and we put it inside a TV so we partnered with high sense and TCO to the five largest TV manufacturers in the world and this is Roku TV showing here at CES and shipping late summer this year mer we September timber summer September whatever the retailer's put it on the shelf that's when we'll have it out there okay excellent now I'm standing on some cement blocks I just want to be really transparent with you guys out there because Jim is a very tall man can you show us the UI because a lot of people that may not know about Roku you know TCL and hisense these are you know two companies China china-based really making inroads in the US and they're not familiar with you know Roku as much as over here in the United States so if you could kind of maybe just talk about what they're getting and people that have never really even given Roku a chances it but I mean it has so much content kind of show them what they can expect so the first thing people are familiar with Roku this is a standard interface very familiar to people who are Roku users all the great content there on the right some TV specific functionality so the T's are made of a high sense but all the software is from Roku so just like normal broke come over here Jim be my friend because we want to see the TV right options on the left and on the right all the different services we have em go movies we have our search feature we have news from AOL but I go back up here and what you'll see are the inputs or the different options that you have in the way we designed this when you sit down to your TV you say what do I want to do do I want to watch my cable do i wanted to watch netflix hulu plus you don't think about input one input to input three you just want to click so if i click on cable I'm right into my cable TV whatever channel I'm tuned to I just hit back I'm right back to my interface again I want to go to Netflix it's right here Hulu Plus Pandora all of that built into it just like you have on the roku player but now with a single interface a single simple remote control right in your TV and we should scroll up to show a specific icon here youtube youtube that's big for you guys and also for people that are Roku owners right so we launched youtube on the roku 3 in december and be coming out on other models this next couple months yeah it's great to have it on roku now one thing that I think is really cool about the Roku I mean this is just a personal anecdote is I'm a slingbox user and you're able to throw your slingbox video from your device onto a TV with a roku 3 and from what I've been told that also will be able to work with these TV sets as well as that correct correct so let's say you have this TV in a second bedroom your slingbox is in your living room how many bedrooms do you have gym three nice third bedroom so yeah just like with all the Roku products um all the apps that available on roku box they'll be here on roku TV and 44 roku as a company just seeing how you guys have grown and evolved I mean this is one of the steps we have two manufacturers right now are you guys looking to do any more work with you know some of the other TV manufacturers out there yeah we think of Roku TV is a plat it's all software and t7 high center our first two partners but we're really looking to make the Roku platform as broad as possible so will still do lots of boxes one of the lots of TVs as well okay well you know there you go at the TCL and hisense Roku TV we have them right here looking great and that's really going to do it for us here with Roku TV thanks so much for coming out Jim appreciate a man and I appreciate letting me stay on these cement blocks okay please join us again starting at nine a.m. pacific time tomorrow we'll have the sony
