and welcome to the 39th episode of the TechnoBuffalo show I'm of your to host for this week Shaun ani editor and chief of the site and I am joined by deputy managing editor Todd Hazleton everybody what was with those eyes todd i was just making faces oh ok so a bit quieter this week than it has been although there was still news mm-hmm timo for those of you wondering why were on Thursday instead of wednesday john leisure did not call us before he scheduled his tmobile event yo see if it conflicted with the TechnoBuffalo show we forgive him but you know so t-mobile had another one of its uncarrier events and wow who didn't almost go to sleep yeah I know when what when we got there and they were like well I've been writing this to actually in the posts they said we're gonna rework the industry or something so the word work was like okay it's probably business-related and then it was for the most part um and it was a little kind of sleepy for a bit I mean look business is important especially for wireless carriers when you get a big client on board and stuff like that but I don't think it's necessary to have a consumer press conference and invite the consumer press I mean I don't write about small businesses for the most part right no ice event I at having been a small business owner what he announced what was exciting to that portion of me but as working for a company that's consumer-focused it was Kyle right and for the people that missed the event is basically the uncarrier move was extended to business plans so you can pay it sounded like affordable prices I don't even know what business prices are like but sounded like affordable prices for unlimited text minutes and starting at a gig of data that you can add more and then you can also bring in your family so like if I have a technobuffalo tmobile account I could then like add my wife like non-existent kids I thought that was really interesting the fact they were willing to count the business phone as the first phone cutting out the fifty dollar phone requirement right I thought that was nice too and they said you could save up to like fifty percent yeah you're doing it through your business account well she's neat no I did have some caveats I was thinking about this and I've actually written about it a little bit it's not that I'm against t-mobile in any way but I think if I was a business owner we talked a bit about this yesterday and I had a fleet of trucks or something you know I have employees out in the field I want them on the best network possible and look t-mobile's networks fine in some areas especially metropolitan areas but it does drop off to edge still and they're working on that but if I have a business i'm willing to pay i think to make sure that everybody's connected all the time and that i know where everybody is otherwise like what good is or my employees on the road if I can't reach them so that's to me I'm not sure that price is good enough but t-mobile's getting there and they made promises that all of these deals they have there's like no such thing as promotions almost any more like they're all permanent and they're not going to change unlimited for at least two years so that stuff was really good yeah another there was some good stuff there there was some good stuff I I'd the idea you know what I would love to see and I know no one's ever going to do this I I've had my own personal server for years for my personal website and you know I constantly get these emails from my house about yo for new customers seventy percent out for month I've been with you guys for like four years right like me nothing yeah they should do that though exactly and you know saw it like I look at you know the same situation with phone companies they don't ever you know like go hey you've been a loyal customer here's a special deal for you right hey al should be like that but you know they're always trying to get their new customers on board well I've turned you into a loyalty point order yeah that's right myself especially on Delta exactly you know so here's a situation where we're earning all these loyalty points and as you've already seen it does pay off when you you start save them up you know maybe do loyalty points system do something you know just don't sign us up and then go haha you're here for life ah although I guess in the carrier sense you know the the older plan sort of had the unlimited data you know the grandfather plans and that was nice of t-mobile to at least confirm that they're not going anywhere for two years which goes by quickly it seems like I mean that's one phone cycle if you think about it but for most people yeah I'm fast it's like six phone so go to school i I don't know I just did it steams unfair to me but but the idea of the promotions the promotional price locking enough that I think is cool yeah it is cool so like I guess what they did was they gave the one gigabyte plan users 2.5 gigabytes what about that that was gonna go away at the end of the year now it's permanent which is pretty yo I thought that was a nice move right well so I don't know it was interesting but as uncarrier announcements go it was okay right yeah it wasn't as exciting I mean he was certainly energetic in hand as wild as ever but uh yeah I think the news wasn't as you know uncarrier as some of the other ones where you're like whoa that seems very cool oh no it definitely was not as uncarrier as some previous ones but anyway moving along so we are entering a it's great that all these phones have been announced now if someone could just tell us when we can buy them no it's really funny we have I mean at least three big ones right on the horizon here the m9 galaxy s6 and galaxy s6 edge now yesterday the m9 we got an idea I was a tmobile most today so i don't think i saw the specifics but president jason mackenzie gave an idea of when that shipping but we still have no idea aside from rumors that samsung's devices are hitting on like april 10th or 11th depending on where in the world you are which is kind of weird usually I mean let's see when the m8 was announced that I'm almost certain they gave a launch date almost immediately and you more and more at these events they're like okay coming like t-mobile eighteen t Verizon you know starting on like April nineteenth but now Bruce like when illness is coming what's going on but the canadian press it seems has the units so that means it's coming soon yeah I I don't know it just it seems odd I mean if you've got the built-up momentum although I mean it could and this is off the top of my head this could potentially be a how can we hit the most news cycles so we announce it we go quiet for a little bit that may announce the date get that bump we go quiet the phone actually launches quiet dick yeah our launch is exactly so it may be an attempt to get more press cycles right yeah that doesn't make sense to me i don't know i think it's it's also did this is a really big year for samsung I think you know they started from New and so I think a lot of people are excited to see what these are like you know I steely drivers yeah yeah exactly I don't know it just it seems odd and yeah now you kinda have to wonder this was something I was thinking about and just so everyone knows Todd and I actually did not get a chance to discuss topics very much before the show so I'm flying over we're all over but I was just thinking about this okay so we have three flagships coming right now mm-hmm we've got the Xperia z4 coming sometime in the year you traditionally have the iphones in the fall you know i'm wondering is it better for the phone companies to spread it out and try to get away from each other or is it better to clump together so there is competition again a new that's a really good point because if you look at Mobile World Congress and stuff too it's like it almost seems like well you're a nobody if he didn't make any news right like oh what's going on you know but so when you look at we had HTC and Samsung let's say right 9 s6 s6 edge and then we're like well we're is lg's you know g4 where's the Xperia z4 were all these other phones and you start to think like are they not ready or are they what you're saying strategically pushing it so that they're not launching at the same time as these devices which makes sense in other words when they hit the market consumers are going to be like wow there's three new phones to pick from and they might pick you know one of them but when they go shopping say let's say two months from now the g4 is the newest phone and it's the only new phone well then maybe that has a better chance and that's that seems to make sense but from a press perspective it also looks like well gee you know why are they so quiet is something going on and especially in sony's case because we know something's been an issue in their mobile business despite making great smartphones and now it sounds like that's going to be pushed maybe as far as September which is a year after the this e3 during Aoife so that'll be interesting to see but they're going to a six-month Eichel yeah well then now it sounds like they're going back to the annual one yeah which is very different because if they were on six month that's March you know they'd have to oh I don't know I just it crossed my mind I wonder you know because yet for the consumer it's better to have them all at once and then you can make a more informed choice right yeah you're like sweet i get to pick up exactly but if it's spread out it's better for those companies because then well even if it's a week two weeks they have the carrier stores to themselves right exactly thinking they can be the flagship you know the what do they call it the carriers like flagship product mm-hmm gonzalo wouldn't do space okay whatever the early windows phones or the HTC was it in the United States the cha-cha-cha one of the first facebook foods I try to forget the cha-cha-cha happened or the or the kindle fire fire phone anyway so moving on to some of the questions we have coming in we have several about the Apple watch so let's jump in those real quick from Shaun the man 34 we have will you be going to on April 10th to the apple store to see the Apple watch I don't know we haven't discussed that actually yet because John has seen the Apple watch in person extensively the rest of us have them and for me going to an apple store means of three hour drive so I probably won't be going to an apple store right I don't think I'm gonna go out of the way either I mean it'sit's there's a couple here in Manhattan but I'm not gonna not gonna kinda fight the crowds or whatever yeah exactly eventually I walk by and be like oh yeah Todd you can make an appointment yeah and that's the thing to let me be honest I'm afraid I'm gonna walk out with one so I can't just walk in there and see it I mean when I hope Sean knows we're about to get a puppy and we were looking at dogs and I swear I almost picked up the first time oh yeah well and and the other thing is that Todd would buy an Apple watch then returned it yet then buy it and return it or ticket then buy it I've never use it that's the story of my life had meaning everybody yeah yeah it's a story that we're never gonna let Todd live down yeah I think I would imagine by now best buy has you on like some bulletin board in the back if you see this man don't let him return anything like it it's true and I bought a new monitor this weekend it's actually a TV because they're they're a lot cheaper but they're not as sharp um and I bought it and brought it home and I put it on my desk and I was like this is cool Louis 720p because I saved 10 bucks but honestly but for 10 bucks i could have 1080p yeah so i returned it and got the tinny you didn't tell me that part oh yeah i did so cocksure of returnees and decision making nah good good car shopping with you must be a wide thankfully I haven't had to do that well I agree with you televisions aren't as sharp but I mean sometimes I I cast over to a television during like Apple event days I'd so I just like put the traffic monitoring over there which doesn't need to be right super sharp but yes TVs do make wonderful monitors um the price and here's another question for Sean the man 34 about the Apple watch do you think we will need to pre-order the Apple watch on April 10th morning and if we don't they will be backordered for months that's a good question well it's a really good question it's really interesting because if you pre-order and you get it that's great you know awesome but then you have to wonder well is it not that successful but if cuz rumors say Apple has well like three million watches on order or something like that no it is the number yeah so three million if they sell out of those that's by far the most successful Apple watch because you're looking at what all android wear combine the last we heard they'd sold like seven hundred sixty thousand units when pebble just hit a million after however many years on the market so for Apple to sell three million in the first whatever week if you're pre-ordering what is it April 10th to the 24th right so two weeks that would be insane and good for Apple you know good for the bills but I think you should be all right just based on you know industry trends what people have bought in the past from 94 Keegan who is one of the people who helps out with the TechnoBuffalo minecraft server which if you may not be aware we do have a minecraft server which you can just enter the eye and the IP minecraft TechnoBuffalo calm to get there anyway Keegan asks I've been looking into getting an Apple watch sport space gray and I saw that it comes with two bands do I get to choose the colors or do I only get to only get two black ones I'm not a hundred percent clear on that it's uh it's the same color they're just different sizes inside the box God sure I mean I went through the the sizing Apple's sizing guys and that's what it said on that so another bummer okay oh fun with Apple watches I know see that's the thing though I I think it looks awesome I'm excited for it I just can't the rubber is what really bothers me like I don't want to spend three hundred fifty dollars for rubber like I get there's a computer on my wrist but like spend the X with the other twenty dollars in for a you know something metal no it's not i but of course if you actually want metal what's the starting price they're like 600 I think she felt like that it's ridiculous I just I I'm not even considering one yeah speaking of tag heuer this morning announced well it was afternoon in Switzerland where they announced it but they announced the Android wear powered tag heuer is coming they worked with google and intel on that which is interesting yeah very interesting from Sasha Mahal and this is a broad question what do you think Google has planned for i/o 2015 I think they have things planned lots of things I don't know today on the site i don't know if it's on the site yet but Lenovo's CEO accidentally leaked the new Moto 360 or at least it looks like it I think it's going up here in just a minute or two it seems pretty plausible so I wouldn't be surprised to see at least new Android wear hopefully an update on the platform but you know it's been a year since android wear was announced there so hopefully more on that front I like to see an update on Android auto with what's going on with that and I think maybe we'll see you know a new Nexus or something but it might be a little soon I don't know who wasn't there a pioneer that released the Android auto yeah but it doesn't have like the software yet and kristen i think this entry price was like eight hundred dollars hi we'd like you to spend some money on something that doesn't work yet yeah so why are you and I wonder if chrome OS will be discussed to you because we just got the new chrome books um we're just announced the new pixel or whatever which is crazy expensive still so you kind of hope that like Google's going to explain why anybody would want to put that money but I get it's not for consumers yeah still just a very expensive laptop but that'd be cool to see an update on that front like where we are in terms of getting more android apps running there which is what they want to do and bringing the functionality from your phone over to this system you know my mom speaking of Chromebooks my mom has fallen in love with Chromebooks really oh she thinks it's just because she's not a power user she's checking email she's reading news stories whatever and she likes you know the battery life she likes how light it is she likes that just works mmhmm yeah she's a big fan of them and I have to admit I mean if I'm just you know if I just need to do one thing real quick at home I just I grab a Chromebook and done shut down i'm off right see I have the windowed microsoft's version of a Chromebook which is like their windows 8.1 with ding which is really just the nose 8.1 it's fine um but I recently have it's starting to tell me that I'm running out of available memory which is crazy I mean it's got what a gig or something on it but that's kind of frustrating because I'm just surfing the web with Spotify open who knows uh from Sean the man 34 I'll try not to laugh as i read the first portion of this question will we see a second generation fire fund hahaha and we'll ever thought make a SmartWatch I think we'll see a second generation fire phone because amazon has said look like we'll learn from our mistakes for me one of the biggest well there were two huge mistakes we know the pricing was off didn't make any sense um the other huge mistake is sort of the operating system you're really limited without Google Play services I think Amazon is and and I don't know how they're gonna solve that I mean it's fine on a tablet boat at your phone you're kind of relying on maps and stuff which Amazon's you know it's not as great as google maps so I don't know a funny story about fire phone and again related to my family so I amazon how to sail on fire phones i picked blowing up for ninety nine dollars yeah than a whole year prime two and all that I was like a dream ok so I get in my father goes why'd you buy it another phone she already have to I was like well this is a backup in case you know I need one because oh how long's that good for arms like for ever and he goes oh how much is it costing a month I was like nothing I've finally dawned on me he thought every phone immediately was contracted like a bill oh and so he thought i was paying a monthly fee on that phone have it there I'd so I had to like explain the concept of a sim card dome and I was like oh trouble is every phone had a contract yeah uh time I've got let's see I've got a samsung mega 6.3 sitting at home right now which is not running it's just sitting there turned off I've got a blu studio 6 you have not do anything the fire phone 1 plus 1 this is 1 plus 1 I actually carry around right right oh yeah yeah always including them all together yeah which actually will play in 200 amazon SmartWatch yeah i don't know if i see it mmm I mean it seems like a good way to like buy stuff right especially if it's powered by the same voice engine or something that the echo has rebe like Amazon I meet diapers or something either but i think it's already available on a droid where I think that was one of the use cases they're using with the Apple watch I don't know that they need to make their own right like you can just see them seem argument I have for why they don't need to make a phone yeah I know uh I don't know it just although this just crossed my ok so let's say they did make a SmartWatch they put a low-power camera in it then you could walk around stay your house because they've got that that one thing now where you can order things by scanning UPC codes yeah yeah yeah well I mean you could do with your phone they call it Firefly thinking right but every app has it for music and so instead of having to pull out your phone though you just hit a button on your watch go like that and you can order now or you're in a story scan a UPC code check the price I mean it'd be cool it's a stretch but it'd be cool it's still one make it worth my yeah well I mean it depends on how well it's executed too but if you look at the fire phone it like it seems to make sense because you're thinking hey it's another portal for people to order from amazon this is great except for it wasn't really well done and so nobody want to use the phone so it's not a porter order from amazon then they were sitting on you know some odd million units that weren't sold yeah exactly and that's what they probably want to avoid here whereas tablets are totally different use case scenario and i think they work really well on amazon makes good tablets just i don't think a phone is needed no the fire tablets were nice I don't have any complaints at the fire tablets its outs and of course the candles are great right but outside of that it's just kind of like Amazon maybe just don't get involved with hardware yet yeah but the fire TV is kinda the witch surprising to me I thought that would be better I've never used one I thought it would be better to I wouldn't I've not been impressed with it I fired up like once a month see if things have changed i'm just kind of like mmm yeah and the nexus player is a complete joke right now but which is crazy too because when i saw that at google had a press him at new york city and i was like oh this is really neat but i guess you know what we see at these events and that's why we always you know gotta wait for the review is not what actually always ends up shipping oh yeah i mean there's been many times where you know like we see something at CS wow that's awesome and then it shows up at the office were like oh whoa what is this not my son this wasn't quite as exciting as we thought it once upon a time we used to meet with blackberry CEOs when i worked at lap laptop magazine and they would come in and show us their products usually ahead of time because we had a long lead so we'd have to you know take pictures and all that kind of stuff we're writing like the June magazine like in March so long time so they come in and show us the first touch screen BlackBerry's like the torch and stuff or no was it the torch that was the slider on any case and we were like this is amazing but you know we know it's not final and will it'll be awesome when it launches and then it launched and it was literally like the same thing we saw that wasn't finished like once months prior I was like so nothing was fixed yeah when I worked in print I had a six to seven week lead time which always killed me yeah I was just like by the time this gets published nobody cares yeah it's like imagine going TechnoBuffalo and reading the stories today but then buying the magazine in two months put the same stories it's really difficult yeah uh let's see here there was one question that we kind of just touched on there it is from sahaja what is your daily driver for your SmartWatch phone and tablets hmm but what are your current daily drivers right now I'm using the iphone 6 plus in the nexus 6 and 4 SmartWatch I actually don't usually wear a SmartWatch I regular watch but if I'm wearing on moto 360 and tablet right now I've been if I'm using a tablet it's the Nvidia shield tablet I still really like that thing i'm currently using just a regular pebble an iphone 6 plus an one plus one for phones & ipad air 2 for tablet earned i'm sorry/not ipad or two I don't know why I said that ipad air first one we have over the time the pimple time as well yeah no yeah I can't wait to try it the pebble time yeah from Shaun the man 34 house Apple pay months later are you still using it I don't use it as much as I would like to simply because where I live there's like a walgreens that accepts it yeah I hardly ever go to walgreens but whenever I've had a chance to use it use it I think it's great I have to be honest I get nervous now because I had that one instance where like it wasn't registering my fingerprint there was a line behind me I'm like and here's my card but I always and you know if you read this I listen to the podcast I've always said like I really really want you and I was always looking forward to using my phone for payments it's just I don't know i canna like ah except for its Starbucks you know I don't use Apple pay but I use like a little scan code because it's flawless I I used whenever I'm at out in irvine you know for the weekend tibor whatever I that's the only way i buy things at starbucks it's great that thing is so freaking easy you use mmm yeah I open the skin I mean it's so easy that they like don't even scan it anymore they just leave the scanner they're back to pick yeah well quite often they'll like you know say go ahead and they turn around it you know because I am the most boring starbucks customer ever I just get a KOA right place yeah I snow Ruth cream I drink my coffee black I don't do anything fancy to it I just drink black coffee right and they just turn right I you know poop they turn hand me my cup and that's it I'm done I'm out yes but as for Apple pay i use it when I can which is all that all I should use it more maybe I'll you know get some cojones yeah going back to the apple watch for a moment how many apple what from Sean the man 34 how many apple watches do you think will be sold in the first year i'm hearing estimates from analysts from three million to 21 million any guesses yeah i mean the ranges we've heard are insane yeah i think people are like well it's gonna sell a little bit or people are like super bullish because they're like this is the next iPhone this is the next iPad it's gonna go nuts so I have no idea honestly we were saying if you look at the competitors there's not a whole lot of attraction so let's see what happens i I'm I'm gonna be bold I'm gonna say under 5 million okay probably around 4.5 hmm interesting I mean we do have to consider it's a huge global launch two it's not everywhere immediately but its its large global launch which is I think going to get products and people's hands quicker than else I mean other devices so anyone that wants to write that down and remind me at the end of the year show because i know i won't remember i said it and we'll see if i am correct also from sean the man 34 in this funk just because the email Johnson out yesterday did you guys have a march madness bracket if so who is your final four actually jon rettinger just emailed the entire company yesterday and he had set up a online place first and set up brackets and I know absolutely nothing about college best I remember we put in the final four at Arizona villa nova going against it in arizona which is probably not going to happen because i went to lehigh in Pennsylvania watched and play Villanova recently is closed key okay I don't think you'll know is gonna go that far but you know kind of rooting for my Pennsylvania team and then I grew up in Arizona to so depth of uh sure sure what Todd said no don't listen to me that's why you terrible bracket you never every year there's upsets it's fun all i knows manchester city's out of the Champions League yeah I actually saw for that game yesterday right against Barcelona yeah I saw that yeah Barcelona noctuidae even though i have no dog in this fight anytime city loses I'm happy let's see here what else have we got here from and since Todd you have touched this phone from Eamon dude I'm not even gonna try I'm sorry I there's too many little symbols in there um what do you think about the samsung galaxy s6 design I like it a lot um I think Samsung will be met with Samsung and they said look it really was called like projects arrow inside and they gave the designers like free rein they said little phone you know out of the materials you want let's see what happens and they built this phone out of aluminum I think it looks you know very much like an iPhone in in terms of like the actual metal borders for better or worse I think it's fine and then i liked i really like the glass on both sides i think it's really nice about the only thing that bothers me night old samsung this too is it gets finger prints like crazy especially on the back panel yeah i think too many phones have that problem but yeah thing is though note note for was a great step forward with the sort of metal edges and then this is just like boom like all right you got it like no more plastic I think you know I know consumers are a little upset about the replaceable battery micro SD card and obviously micro SD is still possible HTC does it and it's only phones but you know I think this is a step in the right direction for samsung I'm excited to try it I you know I'm excited to try every fun that comes out uh from Robbie kya I believe thoughts on Asus Transformer book t100 cheek and it replaced my laptop and iPad all together I have not had a chance to try this right I saw it briefly um I think it's neat we're gonna I think we actually I don't know if we have it in the office yet or if I'm allowed to say we'll have coverage of it um I don't I think it depends what you use is for a laptop if you're replacing like netbook like I used yeah I think so its uses done really good job of that with their transformers in the past keyboards are usually pretty good love that it provides you know additional battery life to the display it does work pretty well to replace them both but it depends what kind of computer you're coming from I mean you can't go from like you know I wouldn't even go from a macbook air and that and say that it's completely replacing it because you're still going to miss stuff but yeah good job from Shaun the man i'm 34 with apple coming out with the music subscription service do you think we will see a movie / TV show subscription later almost like a netflix hulu well that's the her but it sounds like it's going to be more like sling TV than on-demand streaming right will they go that route that is a wrap that's a lot more complicated than a lot of people realize you know each month we run an article about what movies are coming and going from netflix and that is all because when netflix agrees to carry a movie they agree to it for its set period of time and a certain right so you have to keeping to renegotiate because I mean sometimes you'll see a movie drop off and then come back like two months later right it's just it's all matter negotiate negotiate negotiate Apple could probably do it do they want to do it I don't know you could buy sling too well if sling is actually dish oh yeah that's right you're right yeah so I don't see a well man that's a round apple doesn't want to go right right now it doesn't go down that route no unless Silas dish sells it I don't think you will I I don't know what Apple's endgame is here it's I don't know it's going to be interesting to watch see my knowledgeable especially I mean they did it with Beats or you're doing it again with beats all i knows there better be an updated Apple TV at some point brief from Sasha Baja what do you think of the oneplus teaser hashtag one game changer is at a1 plus gaming device it's a controller yeah let's say controller maybe like a Bluetooth controller I don't know it's going to be this crazy I mean one plus is like a bootstrapped company that's making nothing off of his phones barely anything I don't think it's going to be aggressive in and put money into developing a new product certainly not a new device I don't think like that yeah I'm I bet it's like a like a white Bluetooth controller I don't like something simple I don't know the odd odd teaser I mean for a company like you said that's bootstrapped and all that it doesn't seem like a market that they need to be jumping into yeah and and we know it's a careful company yeah i mean like it didn't release the back covers because it ended up being a little more expensive or whatever I mean not widely released so I don't think it's gonna take like this huge jump into like it gave me difference that could be wrong doesn't seem like a good business move I agree I don't very odd uh firm Sasha Mahal is well have any of you guys tried the windows 10 preview I have not yeah I have it running right actually right in front of this computer that goes on my desktop it's good i didn't install the new one yet the update that came out yesterday that's like not different lockscreen things Cortana four different languages they said they polished the start menu so I didn't really jump on it but uh the the windows 10 / use been great for me the only problem I've had a couple times it's like in chrome especially the browser just doesn't load anything so it could be anything it might be windows MIT my computer or nothing else oh that's deep I look forward to trying Windows 10 at some point I just I I my computers are too precious to me to run unstable software I just don't have the time unfortunately yeah for me I don't know ever since like maybe it was windows at me maybe before that which is stupid I just installed all the early previous so Windows ME Wow Lenny medician mm-hmm I had one computer with it yes I remember it it was kind of like the oh darn it windows XP psyche to log to bake let's brush something out the door yeah yeah exactly hahaha good cream el que me mad that thing was horrible uh do you think Samsung is going to update the gear live or make another Android wear SmartWatch well let's give questions both I think the demand do something with Tizen because they've already sort of invested millions and lots of time into Tizen they finally launched a smart watch it they brought their other devices onto tising after the matter but I think they'll probably do android wear too i don't think they're gonna rule it out forever I don't know I I think they know we didn't see the SmartWatch immoral Congress and that suggests that they're doing something different yeah now i agree they've invested with mention Tizen to not continue with it yeah you know I really liked the what was it LG's new SmartWatch all these devices have so many names I can't keep urbane the urbane LTE as webos power which is very much like the Audi watch that LG added CES now that's cool so I'd like to see Samsung get into that kind of market from Dennis Lang stand anything new on the LG G note yeah nothing yet we just saw rumors though I think the latest one was 15.6 inch display something like that and that you know they trademarked the name maybe we'll see it later this year the summer but the rumor is that they're gonna have the g forth and follow that with something to compete against Samsung's nuit family so I don't I I still think it's uh odd that they went with the note name but yeah how do they all get away with this like show me had one to the me note for because if you think you can't trademark the word note really yeah there are certain words that can't be trademarked yo you can trade market in conjunction with another word right like G note or galaxy note right exactly but the word note you can't do anything with Wow yeah you cannot trademark common words hmm which is what made the whole candy crush saga think so bizarre oh yeah yeah yeah that for those that don't remember when they got the King got the trademark on candy crush saga they went after any game that had the word saga and its name including like the banner saga saga right which was completely unrelated yeah but they said there could be confusion in the marketplace man they finally drop that trademark claim that that was so stupid oh my goodness uh from Pierre bullier uh what would you like to see on the 1+2 I honestly you know we've been asked this before and I keep thinking about it I really really still like the one plus one I don't know what I would change really see I wasn't maybe my unit was like not as great i gave it to my brother I don't know it's like the display to me wasn't very good it's like it's way too bright you know the backlight and stuff and it like not too bright is in a sense like the colors but like the balance like it doesn't have real dark blacks like an oled display I'd like to see that on it resolutions on I mean let's go up to quad HD if they can but I think the price is more important that's what makes it so exciting I I will say this for whatever reason I have a horrible tendency to accidentally turn on the flashlight I'll just be like if I huh yeah I'm like why its my battery Drake of flashlights been on for probably an hour my battery life wasn't very good on my unit so I I've been lucky I guess yeah yeah well but i would need a better screen hmm yeah but I wasn't crazy about the camera but see I'm not a big picture taker with phone so I mean I like oh I'll tweet something snap that's the extent of my break like oh okay yep I that's I'm done a flourless charging would be neat yeah I must be so Mike I'm just thinking of fun things again oh no no no I totally agree uh wireless charging still worries me I mean until we get I think yu Qi is gonna win or however you jakey Qi everyone says um I think it's going to end up winning but I just want to be sure it's gonna win before older cars now that's like the there yeah well I they're both in the the galaxy s6 and s6 edge which is neat so but yeah you need a device its supports both right yep uh and we'll take one more question then we'll be done for this week by the way we will be back on Thursday again next week due to a scheduling issues but we will be around next week on Thursday final question comes from ravi chi hai I think what kind of feature do you think should be added to future SmartWatch to make more customers start considering to purchase one except battery life that is yeah battery life is the thing I think that's a lot of it I mean if the Apple watch you know if Tim Cook could come out on stage and said you know I'm giving you this great color screen and all these features and the battery lasts say even four days mm-hmm I be going ooh I'm intrigued and the fact that I've got yet a the thing yes we charge all our phones every night but the thing is I don't want to charge you another device every night and devices not as essential as a phone mm-hmm I mean it's true I not only do I not want to I don't and then I don't wear it and so that's one of the big barriers they that all of these companies have to get over except for maybe bubble is that I mean I know you're saying except battery life but I really think that's the huge barrier and ain't no maybe price yeah like they have to they have to have you know if you go to if you go to a Macy's or whatever you go to a department store you want to buy and you watch there's a lot of nice-looking watches you can choose from you know from like 50 box up like you look like I wear it you know where ever I don't think that's the same case with wearables they sort of started a hundred bucks and most of them look like something you wear to the gym so I think that's a barrier to yeah maybe Apple fixes that a little bit maybe motorola fixes that a little bit with the high-end moto 360 s and stuff but that's still what the Moto 360 with the metal band is you know 300 bucks so that's a barrier for a lot of people that don't see any need for these things nope I totally agree well that is going to bring this week's episode to a close as always we appreciate you joining us you can find us on the itunes store by searching for the
