this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by gamefly welcome back to another episode of rumor roundup with me your host Ashley escada or not John as everyone's taken to calling me on the internet rumor roundup is the show where we take all the best tech rumors from all over the Internet smash them into an easily digestible capsule format and deliver it to every week this week we're talking about the motorola x an HTC One for Windows Phone Facebook's foray into RSS readers and the potential name of Nokia's highly anticipated EOS phone this is rumor roundup so let's get rumor in facebook is reportedly looking to fill the gaping RSS haul google reader will leave when it shuts down on july first how well word on the street is facebook's developing a mobile RSS reader that's reminiscent of Flipboard the project is known as just reader and it seems that after the relative flop of Facebook home and the HTC first this is another attempt by Mark Zuckerberg to have access to whatever information hits your smartphone he's allegedly watching the project closely and providing feedback to the reader team but at the end of the day it'll be up to you the users to adopt additional apps for the massive social network I'll have some serious competition though as sites like digg AOL and even smaller startups like feedly are scrambling to snap up disenfranchised google reader users so good luck suck the HTC One is proven to be a wildly successful android flagship and now reports are coming in suggesting HTC is developing a clone of the one that runs windows phone 8 it won't be an exact copy but the sister one would sport the same aluminum body Beats Audio and a display between four and five inches we'd hopefully see a 4.7 or 5 inch display mostly based on rumors that this phone would have Microsoft's gdr3 update on board which enables support for quad-core processors and 5-inch 1080p screens it would also make a lot of sense for HTC who could use a little o am partner cash and obviously Microsoft would benefit via another beautifully designed device for Windows Phone 8 we got another peak of the Motorola X the device Google was reportedly working on alongside Motorola Mobility this week it seems to be a phone headed for the Sprint network so it's possible it could bear the photon branding we've seen from Motorola devices on that carrier it's not confirmed to be the Moto X in pictures but the source involved believes it is the Moto X and goes on to say the phone has an approximately four and a half inch screen android 4.2 point2 jellybean 16 gigs of storage a 1.7 gigahertz Snapdragon processor and 2 gigs of RAM on board those aren't exactly mind-blowing specs but it'll be interesting to see how Google balances owning an active Android OEM with appeasing third-party companies like Samsung and HTC the X phone is supposedly dropping some time in September but i think that actually seems a little bit late in the game for those specs so let's hope we get a spec increase or a sooner launch lastly we may have a name for the newest windows phone 8 flagship from nokia or nakia depending on where you live in the world the long-rumored and highly anticipated Nokia EOS is a win phone 8 device with a 41-megapixel Carl Zeiss lens on board with pure view technology will almost definitely see the final product on July eleventh at nokia's event but this week the official name for the device may have leaked infamous mobile leaker @evleaks on twitter claims that the Nokia EOS will officially be the Nokia Lumia 1020 it makes the most sense considering the Lumia 920 was the last flagship Lumia or still going across all of our fingers and toes and hope this isn't just another AT&T exclusive here in the US at lunch because the wait for the Lumia 928 on verizon and t-mobile's 925 was way too long also carrier exclusives kind of suck right we're going to take a minute to thank our sponsor today gamefly but games for your console
