2011-06-13
what everyone so we're going to get all asked the Buffalo iyanya in a minute where I'm going to answer all your questions from the world of technology but I wanted to take just a very quick minute to announce something I am so incredibly excited about and proud of is techno Buffalo's partnership with revision3 if you're not familiar with revision3 they put out some of the best content on the web from everything in technology from how to make portable xbox 360 consoles to the best app reviews and everything in between they are the premier resource their site that I've been watching for years and the fact that I now get a chance to be a part of them is so super incredibly awesome and they're just good people so what is this going to mean for the channel nothing really the contents not going to change we're gonna have all the regular stuff that we've had up there our unboxings my bad jokes reviews content from Noah content from John Q content from everybody nothing's going to change what you are gonna get though is three pieces of new content per week that's a weird way to make three three pieces of new content out this three pieces of new content per week oh you're gonna get this kind asked the Buffalo where you ask me questions and I pretend I'm a buffalo I ever going to get app reviews junk watch is going to be making his big comeback on TechnoBuffalo doing his app reviews and apps showdowns know Kravitz is going to be running it through all the rumors that have come out recently in the world of technology and its really all the difference is you guys are going to notice you might also see some fancy new graphic show up in those three videos it should be a lot of fun other than that nothing is going to change this is just a really exciting milestone for me and for the site and hopefully for the folks revision3 none of this and I skies I say this over and over again finally save it because I mean it none of this would be possible without your support thank you guys for this opportunity thank you for making us popular enough to revision3 notice and thank you for sticking with us as we grow and as we grew grew and grow and as this new opportunity unfolds I'm just super excited about it and I can't wait to share with you so let's go ahead and ask the Buffalo what up everyone jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo here it's time for another edition of ask the Buffalo where we can get our nerd on and you can ask me anything you want from the world of technology whether it's cellphones laptops computers or anything in between you can ask your questions one of two ways you can either send it to us on twitter at TechnoBuffalo using the hashtag ask the be otherwise on the website will be posting posts up once a week where you can ask your question write down in the comments which looks like i'm pointing to my pants that's actually where the comments would go alright so without further ado let's go ahead and get geeky first question comes from user clogged with AK John what do you think the next-gen iphone 4s or five will have and should have well claw if I knew the answer that I would be a bajillion error and that's bajillion air with a be but unfortunately i'm not so i'm going to give my answer based on normal product evolution and what I think we're going to expect and based on what the rumor mills been churning out 8 megapixel camera on the back chances are they'll be Sony manufactured 1.3 megapixel camera on the front increased screen size up to 4 inches inches with probably a similar resolution will have the a5 processor in there a lot of fives in this answer so that'll be the dual core processor that's currently powering the ipad 2 certainly will see iOS 5 make its official debut probably alongside some new hardware I'm guessing which is going to give you new notifications and a ton of other options we're going to see a ram increase in the usual stuff we see from phone to phone what I don't think we're going to see you it gives me a sad sad face like this it makes me a sad panda as I don't think we're going to have any LTE support which thinks 4G is sort of becoming the new standard verizon already has a relatively robust 4G network AT&T is starting to roll out their 4g service I don't think we're even gonna have support for hspa+ although I hope my download speeds also hope that I am wrong all right so hopefully that helped answer your question I maybe we'll see it launched in white 2 which would be a super rare and the unicorn of phones iphone 5 in white so the next question comes to us courtesy of a mess you Patel I'm probably massacring your name I apologize what is your primary phone right now that you own as you bought it with your own money not a review unit my primary phone that I own that I bought with my own mullah is the iphone 4 which has been converted to read it's not a case it's an iphone 4 and that's what I generally use when I'm not testing a new device if I was going to buy a new phone right now if I could pick any phone on any carrier it would definitely be a toss-up between the iphone 4 I think I got the bucks actually behind me right here the Samsung Infuse for AT&T or the new sensation for tmobile all really really awesome phones so those would be what I would choose but the one that I bought that I keep in my pocket sometimes sometimes in the back pocket sometimes the front pocket tell me what kind of pocket mood I'm in is the iphone 4 that was a lot of time same pocket a very weird came to my voice the next question comes from Jarrow looks since NGP has been revealed in the PS Vita is having the same price point as Nintendo 3ds for its Wi-Fi version which part of a gaming device would you personally x and y that is a no brainer for me if you heard me talk about the three dias or someone of my reviews on the 3ds or if you've used a three yes you might know that i am not the biggest fan maybe I'm not the target demographic but the 3d the stereoscopic 3d that's in there glasses-free hurts my eyes if you ever started a computer monitor for four or five hours of the time and your eyes just feel fatigued that's what my eyes felt like when I use the 3ds for 10 minutes so I am super excited about the formerly known NGP now the PS Vita PSP vita I'd really don't matter what they called it at that price point and with those dual core specs and 0 le D screen touch screens and actually physical media they could have called it I think so in the comments and they could have called it the PSP popcorn I still would have bought it it is a great deal I think Sony hit it out of the park with the PSP vita elbow still probably call it the NGP at least for a while that would be the one that I would go with in a heartbeat so hopefully that was a long-winded answer to your question the next question comes from Alan Dean did nanny uh what do you think the blackberry torch 2 will be released to the public when is early summer we were one of the first sites actually brought you a long in-depth video demonstration of the blackberry torch to we actually had it in our hand I say are like the Royal are but I had it in my hand for a little while and it definitely seemed fully baked and ready to go this packet a pretty powerful 1.2 gigs process or beautiful screen from what I'm hearing what I'm guessing we're looking at a end of July early August time frame for the blackberry torch to so for all you blackberry fans that we can get torched torch to torched again I'm sticking with torched again alright so the next question comes from this one I can pronounce Josh Jos age Josh do you think the legend of zelda skyward sword blend up being like twilight princess how it came out a gamecube and the we will it come out on the wii and the we you that's a great question Josh if you don't remember twilight princess was the Nintendo's flagship Zelda title launched on the we read the transition when the wii was coming out and Nintendo's previous generation console the Gamecube was still out they released it on both so that I think we'll see it on the wii and the wii u answers probably it's been in development for years we saw a preview of it actually last year's e3 in 2010 and now it's still not released in 2011 they're saying holidays of this year so chances are we will see dual versions of it come out probably with fancy levels and HD graphics for the Wii U but I think we'll see a dual console release whenever the wii u comes out next year next question comes from twitter and 31 null to do you think apple copied i'm guessing you meant copied android in a notification system and the answer is yeah clearly apple went to the jailbreak community clearly they looked at android they saw what worked and they said let's try and make it a little bit better and that's what they did so yeah there's a drawer that comes down the top just like android most definitely and if you say that it's not influenced by android you are delirious clearly they took cues from it whether that's bad or good i don't know when companies compete the consumers always win so there's maybe less innovation but definitely it's nice if you're an iPhone user to be able to have what I think is one of the best features of Android that was notification system next question comes from pet ragi hey John is iOS 5 1 beta 1 stable enough to use my daily phone your thought to be much appreciated so I've got iOS 5 beta 1 i've used previous versions of beta software so i used i OS for beta and iOS 3 beta this is definitely the most stable first beta build that I've used I've been able to use it every day as a daily phone with very few crashes there have been some bugs and tweaks I have talked about at length on technobuffalo check it out if you want the full recap with the one exception of the camera crashing on me it's actually been really good so the answer is probably yes but if you are developer and you do decide to use it on your phone be prepared because things are going to work a little bit buggy but you should be able to use it as your daily driver next question comes from world of tech UK have you tried OS 5 and I message can you compete with blackberry messenger uh I have I message on my phone unfortunately I am alone as far as my friends go and I haven't tried I a message yet with anybody else so I can't say if it's going to compete a blackberry messenger though is tremendous I've used it I've got it on a vibe you can I'm blackberry so I have it ahhh it's really good an apple was clearly squaring off against blackberry and BBM particular so I can't really answer that question yet hopefully those more people get access to the beta and as it comes out to release I'll be able to shed some more light on and our last question comes from brand love Star Wars I love Star Wars 2 so that's why I could be John love Star Wars what does it take to work at technobuffalo ask the bee ah it takes a good application it takes talent and it takes somebody likes to have fun so we're always looking to hire a techno Buffalo so if you see a post up on the site that we're looking for writers go ahead and apply and spend a lot of time on your application so guys hope you enjoyed getting nerdy geeky talking about cell phone talking about iOS Android and the rest of all that tech goodness as always i'm jon rettinger send your questions in and i'll see you in the next episode of ask the buffalo bye for now
