the wide world technology don't know what phone to get don't know what tablet to pick up can't make sense of all these operating systems coming at you left and right this is the place you can ask up

the bee and leave your question usually we'll pick between three and five each week this is ask the Buffalo I'm John Rhett injure go and get started user Joe topkis asks hey John what do you think I should get the next two sever the iPad Mini please give me your opinion I'm gonna give you an answer instead of just saying depends on what you like best return the politically correct answer I am going to answer the question for you but in a few different ways if you are a cost sensitive and you don't want to spend a lot of money go to the Nexus 7 get a much cheaper model get extremely capable well-designed powerful tablet no question if maybe you got extra hundred bucks to spend and you want to maybe say okay 300 to 350 and you want the best tablet I still recommend the iPad Mini when it comes to mobile phones I think there's a lot of great choices in fact I'm using Windows on my daily driver Android before that haven't used an iPhone regularly for quite a while but it comes to tablets I really think that the Apple ecosystem the Apple design works best on a tablet I was extremely dubious about the iPad Mini a low resolution screen outdated processor something about it just works the screen is not incredibly awesome I'm gonna throw that completely out there and it's an irrational love for the iPad Mini I get that everybody down below saying outdated screen slow processor totally absolutely know it I loved a Nexus 7 but if I had to pick a tablet for myself right now I would pick the iPad Mini aunt vivek asks do you ever plan to making android or iOS apps for TechnoBuffalo we're really cool we could get an app that has everything to do with technology so I'm gonna give you guys the honest answer you know I don't usually be asked you yes with absolutely be considering apps for a really really really long time something that we absolutely want to do but we haven't really gotten a development underway yet and here's why we plan on launching an updated version of TechnoBuffalo we're calling it TechnoBuffalo 3.0 sometime between now and the end of the year ish and that's been really resource intensive I didn't want to run to development projects going side-by-side this one's been going for the better part of six to eight months once TechnoBuffalo 3.0 gets launched we know it's stable and I can exhale a little bit then also allocating resources towards mobile app development I'm hoping sometime in 2013 so we'll deliver those and certainly android iOS are the first two on the docket so if we that was a long answer than to your question thank you for asking Travis Williams asks hey John with the rapid pace of all these spiffy new phones keep coming out is it worth it to upgrade to something like the galaxy s3 the note 2 or should I just wait that's a really tough question cuz yeah you can always wait and something new is always going to be coming but there are certain periods of the year where it's a good time to buy a phone get an upgrade if you're gonna sign that two-year deal first is right now November right before the holidays this is when everything new is coming they're giving the market for a new phone for a while and you've been waiting and waiting and waiting now is the time to jump galaxy s3 Note 2 iPhone 5 Lumia 928 X there's a ton of great flagship phones available right now if you want to wait a little bit midway through the year is also a great time sort of june/july start getting into the summer time that's another great time to buy a phone so really those two every six month periods when you guys should wait to get a phone if you can obviously they're exceptions to those rules so right now it's perfect go to your store pick up an s3 and note to any of the other phones I mentioned you

Retina display so we're already hearing rumors that TD tiny almost ending screens already being produced packing the same resolution as the iPad 3 in the iPad 4 which means a Retina Display super shrunk down things are going to be very tiny Apple's gonna have to do some sort of pixel biginning that's magnification to make it look good the iPad minis essentially an iPad 2 shrunk down they could sort of see the progression we're gonna have the next iPad Mini they'll probably have iPad 3 specs which did bring a Retina display and a better processor so expect all that in a teeny tiny package
