this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by the air force collaboratory what's up everyone John rende you from TechnoBuffalo here welcome back to episode of rule Mirada this is the show the title should tell you where we take all the tech rumors from the week they've been published on TechnoBuffalo calm and I tell you the four biggest one that you might have missed of this week Samsung is promising foldable smartphones by 2016 freaking giant tablets are coming from everywhere the Canadian government supposedly blocked the sale of blackberry to Chinese company Lenovo this rumor roundup let's start rounding them up the galaxy round just came out in the world starting to finally get used to phones that have curved displays and curved screens but what about phones that are actually gonna freakin fold on you well suppose that's gonna be reality come 2016 the Samsung held its second ever analyst day in Seoul and that the company had plenty to share so through the seven separate presentations as we all have up on TechnoBuffalo comm they did everything they could to try to impress investors one promise which I thought was especially cool was to roll out smartphones it's 4k displays and flexible handsets that can actually freakin Bend within the next few years could have big implications for wearable technology could have implications for readers really everything that permeates screens could have huge huge implication the same thing did say though there are a few roadblocks technology advanced have to be made that the 2016 gates lips of 2017 2018 don't be surprised but it's coming soon the future's here guys may be inundated by giant friggin iPads according to pad news apple supplier Foxconn is working with a 12 point 9 inch tablet is currently working on a UI prototype debugging although it is probably possible and probably probable that's a reference to machines that work on the manufacturing of this I'm just gonna call it the iPad maxi the site suggests that Apple will launch the device sometime in March of next year but it seems a little more dubious perhaps this giant iPad that calling is more of a convergent device or hearing serve slight whispers that there might be a combination of an iPad and the MacBook Air and this might be it perhaps in 12 in touchscreen MacBook MacBook tablet maybe it's something's gonna come with the next iteration of OS 10 maybe even OS 11 it's really based on touch I wouldn't bet the whole house and there being just a giant iPad but certain things have happened but there is one company who likes to put out ton of different products that I would say we're definitely going to get a gigantic tablet from I would say that would be Samsung you've been hearing rumors all year that seems like could release a 12 inch tablet but apparently even that might not be big enough the report from eg and News claims Sammy is prepping to release a wait for it 13.3 inch Android tablet next year I don't know why someone would need a tablet so large especially since that's approaching laptop size displays but maybe Samsung has a better idea ETI news claims that Samsung is disappointed by recent galaxy s4 sales as a result this changes overall strategy hopes that a super-sized tablet will be its next hot ticket item report also claims a new device would clearly target the struggling PC and laptop business and may employ octa-core processors were sound pretty awesome and I will admit that at thirteen point three tablets I'm silly but also admit that a five to six inch phone also sounded silly a couple years ago and now that's become commonplace Samsung assured in the phablet market and if they're I sure in the would you call a giant tablet goblet or a laptop tablet a lab litt rounding out the news this weekend in honor of our very own junk watch visiting the TechnoBuffalo office let's do a Canada story supposedly a Canadian government rejected lenovo's bid for black branded security of concern if you remember the US government also had the same security concerns back when Lenovo picked up IBM's a laptop division so they've been overcoming the past or maybe we just have more lack security but a new report from The Globe and Mail suggests Lenovo was this close to making a bid for blackberry but the Canadian government said no don't do that government officials in Ottawa made it crystal clear it would not approve Lenovo is offer because that gives McCadden authorities we're worried about national security specifically Ottawa didn't want the Chinese company having access to Canadians telecom infrastructure the formal bid was evidently made that there were rumors Lenovo was definitely interested so that got shut down let me interrupt the video for
