this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by full sail university what's up everyone welcome back there episode of ask the Buffalo I am a buffalo I'm John renders to show where you could ask me any question you've got from the wide world of technology if you want to get a question answer on a future episode every tuesday we put an article up on the site asking for questions you can leave in the comments otherwise anytime of day day or night you could send me a tweet either at john for lakers or at TechnoBuffalo just use hashtag ask the beam will pick four or five depending on the week of this week it's all about google glass next-gen iphone apple TV and what my favorite tech of all time is this is that's the buffalo let's start asking first questions comes from twitter at dallas henley asks at john for lakers when do you expect google glass to go public and how much do you think they will cost so the answer is probably not very soon in way less than 1500 the Explorer program is opening up to more people pretty much anybody who wants it can get in but fifteen hundred dollars is crazy no google glass has got a bit of a tough reputation users are being called anything from glass holes they're being banned in some restaurants people to remember this is not a consumer product quite yet they're partnering with oakley and other glasses manufacturers to make it sort of more consumer friendly look less computer on your face ish i would wager that we'll hear more about google glass come io time but i don't think we're going to see a production version until probably early 2015 now would wager about half price off that fifteen hundred dollars a week where we'll see so between seven eight hundred bucks i think is going to be the final cost probably as much as you would expect to pay for an unlocked top-of-the-line cell phone i think is really where the market can tolerate i don't think we'll see anything anymore than that the next question comes from twitter as well at emory 99 eunice asks at john for lakers what killer feature do you think the next-gen iphone would have out of you think that means would have or should have but here is what i'm hoping screen please bigger screen i know android phones have had it forever but a giant screen size these hanging better than four inches would certainly be a killer feature i think for a lot of iOS faithful perhaps a lot of android users to jump ship from iOS because they wanted a bigger screen size I've said this every year it's like a broken record come iphone time but a redone iowa that gives you a quick way to view information some way stiller to live tiles on Windows Phone or widgets on Android s be a quicker way to view information then opening up an application to get to it a notification center doesn't do it for me to pull down to the keep information I need some way to quickly view information may be some way of apps running if I could take any feature from Android and port it it would be the widget system I think at Google nailed that one knocked out of the park I would love some way to be able to do that you in many applications on an iphone but end of the day a bigger screen would probably get a lot of people to use it but what would your killer feature be what is the one feature you want next-generation iphone to have in order for you to pick one up to upgrade your iphone switch back from another platform or switch to iOS having never use it before i love to hear your thoughts next let's go to user add Giga tweet s at John for lakers with the fire TV out do you think apple will make the apple TV less of a hobby more of a serious iOS device to compete so apple sold millions of Apple TVs ago they've always claimed it's just a hobby we're hearing rumors that a new apple TV is going to be coming very very very soon I've been rumored that Apple was trying to compete with the cable companies and actually sort of kill them by offering some server either original contents or offer the channels on their own without cable companies at all now we're hearing to taking a different approach and maybe working worth cable companies to create some sort of ala carte service that they get a cut of so even as things stand right now just a streaming devices I think the current Apple TV and its current state if it's pretty nicely with the fire TV but where the fire TV I think takes the edge first applications you've got an app store you can download games you could play it on your fire TV and of course being able to do voice search is really awesome if this was bizarre Gary Busey try to be commercial to do anything people really like to use your voice to search and it's a lot easier than going to type every letter of what you're looking for and how does my noise boom boom boom I do think though the next generation apple TV is coming I think it's going to be a more full fledged iOS device with its own app store they able to support third-party Bluetooth controllers or perhaps something that Apple does first party I think it'll have games so I think looking at what the fire TV is doing is a be a very similar model for the next generation apple TV is going to beast whether or not amazon knew that tried to be able to the punch or whether or not amazon was just first to do it an apple is going to be reacted to compete as yet to be seen take a break the questions for one quick second to think of friends and overall good peeps at full sail university listen you can't go anywhere without playing in a game on your phone or downloading

to the questions and for the last question user at non underscore patel one asked hashtag ask to be what's your favorite tech device of all time that's a really tough one to answer because it depends on the time but the first thing that came to mind not something you guys expect but the original blackberry pearl i absolutely love them questions not what's the best tech of all time i think that always sort of depends on you know where you're at so right now it's probably the best tech of all time because tech advances i remember when i first got that blackberry pearl i loved it push email was incredible i loved it it was small I could still type fast on it had two letters per key and I got really quick at it the camera was usable I could play music it was thin it was light I loved that device that was what I was using the day the original iPhone came out 2007 and I remember doing a size comparison of the initial iPhone and I should have sort of given more heed to that moment because it's are the changing of the guard going from sort of almost analog sale controls it's a digital only was a real big change but maybe was a simpler time for me but I honestly I really loved that original blackberry pearl was surviving blackberry at its peak when they finally sort of got what the consumers wanted and focusing a little bit less on business that was probably my favorite piece of tech of all time maybe if Nintendo original Nintendo to it probably in there the first year these kids in my mind was a blackberry pearl thank you guys for watching hope you enjoyed i love doing these
