this episode of techno Buffaloes brought to you by audible what's up everyone walk back the episode of rumor roundup i'm your host jon rettinger in the show's title should probably give it away but this is the show where we take all the temp emerged from the week you condense them down into one video so you know everything that could be coming might be coming as potential to happen and might someday potentially definitely might happen so up this week we're gonna talk about Amazon's crazy super secret project nokia might be releasing an android phone and blackberries got a couple tricks left up its sleeve this rumor roundup i'm jon rettinger let's start rounding things up let's start with what I consider to be probably one of the biggest stories of the week Amazon's crazy secret project an exclusive invitation obtained by the Boston Globe a recruiting event this month in Cambridge Massachusetts supposedly reveals super secret plans for a new project that will put the retailer's line of kindle tablets and e-readers to shame which is ironically the same thing that competitions been trying to do for years the invitation though doesn't really reveal that much Simmons usually don't but it does plenty to fan the flame to the hype machine as what the next product is going to be all we know is it's gonna be used to deliver digital media in a unique way potentially disrupting the environment and the whole industry together which Amazon likes to do so according to multiple reports the company's been developing its own line of smartphones other possibilities though include an all-in-one smart cutie of some kind of course sort of the tech news you're a wearable device baby Amazon's got some fancy coming soon so if you're one of the people what's rockin a bb10 device you already know you can run android apps on it getting android apps on your bb 10 isn't super new it's been it's pretty straightforward sigh loading process but it looks like android athlete ready to come through the front door so evidently BlackBerry's been pretty quietly asking developers to upload their android apps directly to the new marketplace without any alterations at all this is a freaking brilliant move I would have loved to do this happen from day one of bb10 you'd have gotten through the best of both worlds i suppose you get you know BlackBerry's killer email service their intuitive you know peak features but also you get the incredible android apps available there so you ask yourself by looking at android device cuz i really like the app selection when you might get that same app selection on a blackberry device only making blackberry way way way more appealing maybe 10 is a really solid OS but it's been hampered by poor app selection so this is a potentially a giant boon to the handset manufacturer i'd love to see this happen and happen very very very very very very like should've happened yesterday soon for years i've been hearing if only nokia made android phones they'd be the bestest phones in all the land well you overly dramatic person edge reenacted might actually get your wish so a new picture of Nokia's android-powered normally smartphone I was posted on monday to our friend a dev leaks Twitter account showing off the company's array of famous neon colors we also got a pretty solid glimpse Nokia's Android UI which has been forked to resemble Microsoft's environment on a Windows Phone it seems like when even Nokia isn't using Windows Phone they still want to keep that same unique look of Windows Phone I would really put this as a never going to happen type thing Microsoft is buying Nokia Microsoft wants to push Windows Phone this would almost be like giving up a windows phone if they were to do this junior things have happened but I would say it is probably like just a proof of concept that actually serve leaked its way out for a little while what you guys think they looked at your comments leave it even this
