hey guys jon rettinger for TechnoBuffalo here january's a fantastic month for DS it's when we get to see all the gadgets and gizmos that are going to be coming out this year and this January is no exception as CBS gets into sort of high gear it's also a developer's conference that goes on in vegas and this year ralph de la Vega the CEO and president of AT&T Mobility gave a keynote speech where he revealed a lot of cool TTT details that i thought i'd share with you i'm an AT&T customer the iphone is my daily driver so this affects me what phone i might use thought you guys may be interested as well first he announced that ett is going to be caring to webos devices and flew see that are wandering webos is the operating system that powers the palm pre and the palm pixi it's the new OS that's been developed by pond it's been around for about eight months a little bit less than that but it really is a fantastic offering since I mean my review of the pre and the pixi i raved about i think it's multitasking and cart interface second to none it's app store is growing and i think it's got a lot of potential utilizes multi-touch probably second only to the iphone it really has a ton of attached so i'm very excited about it so we're looking forward to what AT&T is going to be doing with webos it did not give any phone details but it'll leave 12 probably think that we'll be seeing a sequel to the pre launched on 88 pre 2 or a prequel or sequel who knows what they're going to call it but it should probably have that same form factor as far as the other web OS device your guess is as good as mine it probably the more hyped announcement was that 18 t is finally joining the open handset alliance which means that they will be carrying android devices as it stands now 18 to use the only major US carrier to not be offering any Android devices so I will be seeing upwards of five hour release in the earlier part of 2010 they gave a little bit of detail what we're going to see they said we're going to see device from Motorola with a unique form factor which probably would be the backflip that we've seen a rumor it's got a typical Android touchscreen device but the keyboard sort flips out from back running Motorola's blur which we've seen on the moto cliq it's a custom skin on top of Android which is very social networking friendly we're also going to see a custom device built adjust for AT&T by HTC HTC is probably one of the biggest manufacturers of Android devices they made the original g1 they made them my touch the nexus one or all manufactured by HTC certainly have a reputation for building quality devices so cure to see what they come out with next we're going to see the dell mini 3i or maybe three depending on what they call it it's really delves first foray into the smartphone market we've seen it released in China earlier in the year so let me be coming to AT&T it's sort of a middle-of-the-road handset that's got a 3.5 inch display with 640 x 360 resolution it's got 3 megapixel camera and of course microSD expansion and GPS and all that other stuff you'd expect from a modern smartphone especially a modern smartphone running Android so we can tell them I'm very excited about the possibility of android and webos being on ATT things going to be fun to actually try phones that I might actually use on a daily basis the phones that test you don't have to use for a week or two weeks tense and back now these actually be able to test using my own sim card as my daily driver for weeks and months I think it's going to be quite fun so are you excited about webos or android if you are which one looking forward to more webOS phone or an android phone and me personally i'm looking forward to webos but certainly is a personal preference so leave comments or video responding really courage to what you guys think anyway jon rettinger for technobuffalo and i'll see you the next video bye bye
