this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by netflix what's up everyone walk back there episode of rumor roundup iris jon rettinger in this quit obviously as a show where I take all the tech rumors from the week and I tell you the biggest baddest ones that you need to know of this week it's all Apple and Microsoft let's start with Apple getting awarded a patent for a pretty cool curved display Microsoft might be giving away a few operating systems and a brand new normal saw his Lumia might be coming down the pipe in the near future this is rumor roundup go ahead and start rounding them up earlier this week Apple was given a new patent detailing a curved touch sensor could open up the door to pretty awesome new form factors the patented technology essentially swamps to flat sack of materials that makes up its Kurt displays with a stack of flexible materials to get its super curvy shape the patent was actually submitted way back in 2010 so probably means they've been prepping that technology for the past few years but don't keep your fingers crossed we're gonna see it anytime in the near future far to put money on it I'd say that this is gonna be used for entirely new type of products perhaps one that you would wear somewhere other than talk to on a phone would be pretty good for a new curved touchscreen that might be the first place we see something on a curved touchscreen and I bet we'll see that sometime in 2014 it's a watch Android is quite obviously taking the mobile world by storm largely due to the price that it costs manufacturers so you might want to get out your calculator but it cost them zero a goose egg big fatty bigger the doughnut not a zip zilch nothing windows phone in our to the other hand not so much but it looks like the big bad boys of redmond are getting ready to be in the holiday spirit might be giving both os's away for free to manufacturers according to sources speaking to the verge this might seem like a total altruistic move from Microsoft your way just to try and get market space but it makes total sense think about it from a business perspective microsoft currently makes a huge chunk of change licensing it's off foreign manufacturers but with Nokia cleaning ninety percent that windows phone market at least the last count that revvy is gonna totally dry up as soon as their acquisition is finalized Luke is also won a few oh em gee sine Microsoft's the developing windows and RT devices so if you think about it not many people are paying the royalties anyway you know they're gonna dock gonna charge themselves as least you wouldn't think try and get other manufacturers you're thinking maybe using Android might want to consider using windows because a it's cheap so this rumored strategy will be implemented until these 2015 the bridge reports when Microsoft allege threshold update at the moment though making its mobile software free and push against online services seems like a pretty decent idea but knows what the markets even gonna look like in a few more years you'll have another version of Android iOS 8 ish will be out it's gonna be a very very crowded market but hopefully a merger of Windows RT and Windows Phone maybe Windows Phone 9 or Windows Phone 9rt I decide to call it might have the gumption to make a run at the two kings so you know that pretty awesome Lumia 1520 that we loved and his thin it's got a gorgeous 6 inch screen but it might be too big for normal people's hands or won't fit in your pants it looks like you might have a perfect phone for you coming out very soon so according to an Indian website called zaba a 5-inch someone might be coming very soon all information that they know that device is gonna be called the RM 964 the shipping label does reveal though a 5.2 inch screen size though we really have nothing else to go off of I think a 5.2 and phone really hit the mainstream the six inch phone is really too big for a lot of folks it's a halo phone get the outliers the folks like me that like gigantic screens about a 5.2 inch size really make it more adoptable for a mainstream so I'm hoping that we see that perhaps maybe it'll launch with the next version of Windows Phone not the one that's coming in 2015 but the update due early 2014 might seem like a good time to launch a flagship phone with the new OS I'm just saying I mean eruptive rumors
