a hundred and fifty thousand iphone bonds are being produced per day at the fox com production facilities so when you wait in line to that iphone 5 it might just might be being produced right as you

with hopefully white launching alongside what is it going to launch what we are hearing October 7th is the day you can first pick up your iPhone 5 we're waiting any mint for an apple press event to let us know what the iPhone 5 is going to look like we're hearing it's going to look very similar to the iphone 4 tapered edges a larger elongated home button the rumors were hearing right now that it won't be a physical home button it's going to be a capacitive buttons we've seen on countless sort of Android devices perhaps you're going to be a gesture area even put in there as well also speech recognition is coming to iOS 5 and your iPhone 5 so now when you get a drop calling to yell at your phone it's actually going to understand you is ios not your thing well let's talk android because eric schmidt let it slip out that ice cream sandwich the latest and greatest build of android the build that's supposed to end all the fragmentation and bring the tablet world in the phone world together in beautiful tech harmony is coming and coming very soon this October or November we're going to see Ice Cream Sandwich launched on a Nexus device as we've seen the previous versions of Android launched on those as well presumably it's going to be the Samsung built nexus prime all just going to have a gargantuan larger than 4.5 inch touch screen probably not as big as the Samsung notes 5.3 inch screen but it's going to be big and it's going to be powerful but what is it going to be powered by um possibly it's going to be powered by the latest quad-core chip that was an awesome unintentional segue coming out of nvidia their CEO let it slip that caught l which was a code name for the quad core chips will be coming sometime in 2011 so if one core is not good enough for you who core is not good enough for you you can get for battery sucking cores on your phone or tablet coming soon this holiday season so look for those coming um again i keep making jokes about battery life dual-core certainly took a hit for battery life we're only assuming that you double the amount of course you to double the amount of juice needed or at least need more juice so didn't want to bring an extra juice box I'll when you pick up your quad core device are you excited about quad core you care or not care I'm more excited from a geek standpoint to see what quad core can do for a benchmark standpoint I'm not sure how much actual performance I'm going to get from dual core two quad core I last year's CES we did see some demonstrations of what quad core can do as far as shading and graphics prowess it was absolutely incredible I'm just not sure if the trade-off for again battery electric be worth that increase but the consumers are going to be the ones that are going to tell the truth there so let me go ahead and take a quick minute to thank our friends and sponsors at square space where space is actually service that I've used I'm continue to use quite a bit what a square

about windows we saw a first sneak preview of Windows 8 which herb has a metro which is Windows Phone 7 type UIC on top of it but what about for the windows tablets are going to be having so we've seen windows 7 actual tablets come out looks like Windows 7 that you use your finger with Windows 8 is going to have a specific tablet build but we haven't seen that yet the rumors are saying that we're finally going to see the first Windows 8 tablet build revealed at drumroll please as a bad drumroll drumroll please Microsoft's BUILD conference which kicks off September 13th Microsoft might be a little bit late tablet party but there's still plenty of time to make up ground I think they have spent a lot of time in R&D and if it's anything like windows phone 7i think it's going to be very very easy to use I'm pretty robust I'm a big fan of Windows Phone 7 you couldn't tell so I've high hopes for the tablet version of Windows 8 what do you guys think when it comes to tablets I'm in the Apple camp you in the Android camp are you going to be in the windows camp are you in the webos camp you pick up a $99 touchpad and now you can't get enough or you're flicking cards I'll you want to
