welcome back to another episode of farm bluff q and A's the show where you could ask me just about any question you want related or unrelated to mobile technology and where I get to ask you guys that's right your opinion matters here weekly questions via polls on our facebook fan page you can be a part of the polls by liking us at facebook.com/foxnewslatino you like touchwiz our play edition the short answer is i like both but if i had to choose one and only one i think i have to go with the Play edition while TouchWiz has a bunch of great features that are really cool especially when you're trying to show off to your friends sometimes they can just kind of given the way with stock Android and the quick updates that come along with it the high-end hardware on the galaxy s4 just really shines and it's just an awesome experience for me being the stock android fan that I am Calum asks is the new Nexus 7 a failure or success in your eyes and what would you change considering that the first nexus 7 was a huge success I can't really imagine it being anything but I mean this summer on google in these suits took that winning formula from the original nexus 7 it made it even better by addressing some of the weaknesses that had on the first gen like including at NDP screen doubling the RAM giving it respectable dual stereo speakers which were desperately needed and all the while keeping the price relatively low as far as what I change out of anything I have to say the processor now don't get me wrong the Snapdragon s4 pro inside the Nexus 7 is still a piece and handles just about anything you throw at it flawlessly but I feel like in a year or two it might get a little dated considering the fact that it's not exactly cutting it right now being almost a year old but with that said I'm really liking the nexus 7 which I'll tell you more about in the upcoming review Hunter your hendrickson asks how many phones do you have in your collection that's a good question and I couldn't really answer off the top of my head so I pulled out all those boxes and not counting any review units I have just over 20 devices at this point hmm should probably do a giveaway huh Rob coalfield asks do you think the possibility of an iphone 5c lower cost solution was meant to compete with the HTC One mini and s4 mini I say yes and no if the iphone 5c rumors end up being true the new phone would definitely compete with likes of the One and Galaxy s4 mini but I don't think Apple would be doing it only to compete with those two phones instead they'll be doing it to grab a bigger share of that entry-level to mid-level smartphone market historically Apple just slashed the prices of existing iphone models when a new one came out and those kind of acted as their entry and mid-level options the iphone 5c would still be serving the same purpose but with two major advantages for one Apple will be able to market an entirely new phone I mean we never really saw an iPhone 4 or 4s commercial after the iphone 5 came out but I bet we'll be seeing a bunch of iphone 5c commercials which definitely should help them capture more of that market and the second advantage is Apple could potentially increase the profit margin with the iphone 5c compared to just slashing the prices of existing models by using more cost effective materials in the 5c compared to that on the more premium materials that used in smartphones at the iphone 5 or 4s of course as of right now the iphone 5c or whatever Apple might call their budget iPhone is still a rumor and is nowhere near official but I think what makes sense for them to do it considering the two advantages I just mentioned at the same time though Apple's been doing it the way they have been for so long now that it'd be interesting to see if they actually change their sales model I asked you guys via phone buzz Facebook poll which mobile OS do you think will eventually win the battle for third place after Android and iOS and it seems like most of you think it'll be windows phone with seventy-six percent of the vote coming in at second place and a little bit of a surprise was a boon to with eighteen percent of the vote and in third or in Las depending on how you want to look at it only five percent of you think that blackberry will eventually capture that up for grabs spot behind Android and iOS as far as the results go I totally agree with you guys and think that Windows Phone will be able to keep that spot as the third place of West lockdown I mean what the company is big as Microsoft backing it and with great handset many just like Samsung HTC and especially Nokia really embracing Windows Phone I don't really see any other OS even coming close in fact i think the things that are really holding Windows Phone back right now our lack of apps compared to android and iOS and the lack of ultra high-end smartphones with 1080p screens quad-core processors and all that stuff once windows phone gets those two things I think it'll still be in third place but it will have much larger share of the pie at least a alright guys that's it for me this episode of phone buff q and A's if you have any
