this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by godaddy hello ladies and gentlemen welcome back there episode of ask the buffalo i'm your host jon rettinger and you can just consider me a horned beast fur the next I don't know five six minutes I'm the Buffalo going to be answering your questions you could ask me any question you've got from the wide world of technology from what cell phone you should get what table' should pick up next you can ask some business questions about what's going on with technobuffalo or even some personal questions for me up this week we're talking about the all new HTC one android wear in the pretty awesome moto 360 a technobuffalo app and if and when we are gonna go for K this is s the Buffalo let's start asking Buffalo's if you want to get a question feature on upcoming episode of acid Buffalo you can do it one of two ways every tuesday we put an article up on TechnoBuffalo calm saying hey you leave us a question you can just do that in the comments otherwise you could send it to me on social media use hashtag ask the Beast send it to John for lakers or send it to at TechnoBuffalo well pick three to five depending on how longer in depth they are first question comes from the websites and mr. Andrew paulist who asks John I still don't know if I should get me all new HTC One the Nokia icon please help me so as of this filming the all new HTC One has not been announced but it's probably the most elite two phones with the iphone 5 so I think it's safe to say we know most about the new device and maybe not all of it so we just did our review on the icon I gave it a really solid 8.5 it was one of the better phones that we tested in recent history it's probably the best Windows Phone out there going having said that I got a soft spot in my heart for the HTC One I loved the original the sequel looks to be just as good if not better it's got new specs it's got a little bigger screen it's got those crazy dual cameras on the back you can focus afterwards so ask yourself sort of one question what ecosystem are you and are you in sort of the windows ecosystem it makes a lot of sense for you to sort of stay there then you definitely want to look at the Nokia icon or you maybe want to try the Android side we're looking to make a switch a sort of a wide variety of apps more important you have show if so rather then you want to look at the HTC one if cameras most important quality of the pictures then go back to the Nokia I kind of had to pick one though the HTC One last year is my phone of the year the new one I'm hoping is going to be the same if I have to pick one i would say wait for the all new HTC One hopefully adopt a trick question the next question comes from Shashi Mahal and I'm sorry from a screwed your name hey John how do you think Android wear devices will stack up against the samsung gear pebble and the other smartwatches you did not call galaxy gear so kudos to you and is Google doing going in the right direction with Android wear the first thing Android wear is Google's open source operating system for wearables we knew was coming and I suspect we'll see an official version perhaps a nexus version at Google i/o coming up in just a few months essentially what we've seen are different variations of Google now on your wrist and Motorola was like hey we got something pretty cool to show you in the Moto 360 it looks like a gorgeous timepiece first and foremost it's got a round display it looks like a really high-end advice but also it's got google now on it's got android wear integration presumably motorola will do some of their own sort of magic tricks with it it looks really cool so yes I absolutely think they're going in the right direction I think Google now is sort of made to be on your wrist you could ask it questions get information really really quickly and of course get notifications a SmartWatch are known for so yes yes yes and double yes I think Google is absolutely going in the right direction next question is when we get all the time I answer it seems probably every other month or so comes from twitter at sound switch fans ask is there a technobuffalo app coming to ios and android the answer is maybe but no time soon we don't have anything to develop it right now we're having a heavy focus on the mobile experience of the site we're getting ready to roll out sort of a new version the site that'll sort of give you the same experience on desktop and mobile absolutely the direction that we've been heading recently i haven't seen everything especially put a lot of resources behind a mobile app perhaps they'll change in the future maybe the end of the year but right now we do not have any plans for mobile application although i will say their unofficial third-party apps out there for pretty much every app ecosystem let me take a minute to thank our friends and overall good p at godaddy they wanna remind you that it's go time and good get is here to help kick butt online you can set your website today she's always dreamed about it they two dollar ninety-five CENTCOM visit godaddy.com enter promo code techno 295 get your calm for just two bucks and ninety-five cents check out the website though for the rest of the details found a dream starting your blog you on website now is a perfect time to do it get started our last question also comes from twitter user at tomasa de llegas asks at john for lakers you guys need going for k anytime what importance is 4k play with technobuffalo so first and foremost we've got all the lenses for canon switching would require purchasing Don's new lenses and I know that Sony's got a 4k handycam but I don't think a handycam didn't give us a same quality and same diversity we can get with interchangeable lenses so I know you can get crazy cannons in the twenty to thirty thousand dollar range i can do 4k teddicus t100 can do 4k but has not been enabled yet so i haven't seen the compelling reason to make a swish now something like Panasonic it has pretty awesome 4k options coming out very soon but again gotta produce all new lenses are purchased an adapter then you're shooting video with essentially a DSLR which we do do but it's sort of not as compelling least for me as a dedicated camera for video so perhaps when Canon or Nikon or sony comes out with a really awesome interchangeable lens dedicated video camera can shoot 4k we will make that switch load would be easier from a lending standpoint if cannon would do it I don't think many people have 4k monitors York even bother viewing for cake onto editing it can be a bit tough if you're not using a really top and computer I just don't see a compelling reason to do it right now therefore that compelling reason does happen though will absolutely make the switch to 4k out a wager probably this time next year we'll probably shooting most of our stuff in 4k is probably reasonable expectation maybe we see you know Apple released and 4k displays and sort of see it permeate our audience a bit more hopefully that helped answer your question so thank you guys for watching another episode of ask the buff hope you enjoyed it's good to be back in the ass to buffalo chair I really enjoyed getting a chance to talk to the audience and just sort of you know just chat and see what's going on and answer your questions please give it a thumbs up you always appreciate
