this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by godaddy what's up everyone welcome back there pisode of rumor roundup I'm realest John renders the show we take all the tech rumors from the week and there was a lot of them this week and we smashed it and condense them in a compactor of one show of rumor awesomeness up this week it's all about Google will be talking about the google smartwatch nexus 8 and when we might see Android 4.5 this rumor roundup it's going to get started so it feels good to finally not have a week talking about the galaxy s5 so Samsung took all the mystery out of that so we talked about the galaxy x 6 I hear it's going to be made of space-age adamantium it's going to have a 9 inch screen and be an 8k display just you heard here first folks so it's been rumored for a really really long time the google smartwatch a few reports of service recently suggesting that LG is working on a SmartWatch for the big G technobuffalo can confirm after speaking to an industry source that a device is indeed far along in development right now it appears that google searching for OEMs to build smart watches but LG is definitely on board and has developed a prototype device our sources have said HTC's also been rumored as a possible OEM by bloomberg but if I was a betting man I'd bet up on a coming from LG additionally the watch will make its debut during Google's IO developers conference in June so not even that far away what I've comes to wearables little design is obviously important since it's gonna be on you and be seen all the time we're told it looks a little bit like the sony smartwatch meaning it's got a square display instead of a curved or rounded one making it more in line of the existing smartwatches on the market also it will have an always-on access to Google now which makes total sense similar to the Moto X which means you just speak commands at any time like dick tracing just talk to it a color screen is also on board size we still don't know yet those you'd like to customize though a simple strap will be here as opposed to anything special like maybe the qualcomm toq got the battery built in so we're thinking about a number of rubber plastic it's probably going to be the go to strap option the device does not have a camera we are told it it doesn't appear that will also be able to play skulls and instead I'll just really receive notifications from your Android smartphones notification machine we don't hear anything about iOS support but I wouldn't bet the house on that so if that wasn't enough google smartwatch rumors we also have a bit more TechnoBuffalo broke the story that Google is going to announce its SmartWatch OS sometime in the spring before I oh right now it looks like the time frame will fall between March and May again ahead of the i/o conference the company will announce the operating system so that additional OEMs can get on board so that apps are ready when the vices finally hit the market we take a minute to thank our friends and sponsors at GoDaddy it's go time and go daddy is here to help you kick butt online if you always want to start a website now it's a pretty good time

the less competitive 8-inch market according to an unnamed Google Dublin employee the search giant will completely stop development of the Nexus 7 because the market is SuperDuper saturated with 7-inch tablets curiously though the rumor states advice to be unveiled in July alongside Android 4.5 said make an appearance at i/o in June which looks like it's going to be a ton of stuff coming out at i/o anyway mysterious device will allegedly be developed by asus they've been manufacturing a partner of Google's for quite a while currently the most notable 8 inch tablets made by samsung and LG well Apple's iPad Mini comes pretty close at seven point nine inches also Amazon's Kindle Fire HDX is 8.9 so a ton of competition in the 8-inch market virtually no details this alleged nexus 8 or share presumably it would launch with Google's latest version of Android Android 4.5 which we also know between this much and this much about no other details were provided by that source and fortunately so it's going to be a busy first half of the year for Google we're going to get a SmartWatch Android 4.5 might see the new Nexus eight although I'm not tapping the Nexus 10 hear rumors of a new one of those coming for quite a while we still have not yet seen it I would bank on that coming at il so what do you guys think google smartwatch i think if any company could pull it off Google's probably one of the ones that could looks like it's going to be just notification machine so a different approach then what Samsung is taken with its gear line of smart wearables I like notifications I really liked it on the pebble I liked it on the qualcomm toq this might be really the next step and having a full app store could be really cool as well but one who you guys think leave the comments right down below you excited for a SmartWatch you're not excited for smartwatch and we're excited about that 8-inch tablet let me know what you think until next time I am jon
