this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by carbonite welcome back to another episode of ask the buffalos to show you could ask me jon rettinger any question you've got from the wide wide world of technology don't know what phone to get dunno what tablet to get of a question about our TechnoBuffalo runs if it a question about me personally you go ahead and ask it every tuesday on technobuffalo com will put up an article asking for questions you get to leave them down in the comments otherwise send it to us on Twitter send it to either me at john for lakers or at TechnoBuffalo ask the question use hashtag ask the beep up this week we're to talk about where we get all our products from talk about maybe some cheap tablets coming in in your future some phones and all kinds information in between is asked the Buffalo it's gonna get shirt it's about every six months or so I will answer this question I want to know about where our gadgets come from this one comes from Twitter and user / alien 12 hey John had his TV get their devices is a company out to pay for them or the companies send them like a trade-off for free advertising first and foremost never trade off for free advertising that is not only illegal it's unethical and not awesome so know that misconception that sites do that is absolutely ludicrous respectable sites absolutely not most of the vices we get as review units and we always disclose when they were sent to us about a company if you watch our videos i'll say this phone was sent to us courtesy of AT&T some phones will actually go out and buy if we can you get them or if you feel like maybe I review might be compromised by getting them if you ever feel and you ever want to get detect reviewing you feel like you're compelled to give a good review because someone sent your device stop it stop it immediately you were in the wrong industry you can't be afraid to give an honest opinion otherwise you never going to get credibility in this industry so if that helps answer your question so next question comes from Jesse Gabriel who asks can you do ask the Buffalo for the entire time with a Batman voice no no I can't do that I can do you one better alright so our next question comes from at d1 who gains act john for lakers what will see us cover CS is gonna cover gotham it's gonna cover the extent of consumer electronics its dance for consumer electronics show that's been at stands for senate covered tvs cellphones laptops accessories everything in between lots of touch screens lots of three technology and everything that goes along with that dead now i've got a sore throat I don't know how Christian Bale did that for three movies what are you doing get out of frame since keen amateur hour what are you doing man alright so the microsoft surface is just a few months old but already there's talk or at least hope that maybe we'll see a lower-priced version of presumably the RT version so this question comes from one of our most prolific commenters love them are a temp it's fat man XXL who asks John any chance of a budget surface tablet in the ballpark of 250 to 350 ish I would say no until we see an update to the current RT version you know Apple does with their tablets when a new version comes out this count the outgoing model so probably six to eight months when we see a new spect RT version probably will see a price reduction on the existing RT models Microsoft and a double you'll have stock to burn so we should see a lower price we've been waiting for that Windows 8 tablet I really want to pick up a surface then maybe you want to wait probably about six more months so we take a minute from answering all your questions to thank our friends and sponsors add carbonite carb right online backup is

over to blackberry user at Domingo nose says at john for lakers do you think bb10 will get enough dev support to compete with the least Windows Phone 8 I hope so the answer is still yet to be written Microsoft paid developers a ton of money bribed them with cash your free phones to start coding for him I certainly rim does not have the deep deep deep pockets that Microsoft does but I'm hopeful that developers will come back to blackberry it'll be excited to develop for a new platform blackberry 10 based on QX looks pretty awesome and I am fingers crossed hoping hot developers will flock to it but only times going to town of course rims gotta release the darn things thank you guys for watching another episode of ask the Buffalo be sure to check us out at technobuffalo calm for the ladies
