thanks for their all right buddy hello and welcome back to pocket now live this is episode number two we've had some technical difficulties but we are back again thank you very much for all your support for everybody wanting us back on air we are here back on here i'm anton denied managing editor of pocketnow.com i have week with me Brandon minimum editor-in-chief what I have Steven shank chief news editor how's it hanging homes like this is uh and we have and we have I may be metal multimedia manager hello everyone steven does that mean that i could use the horns again you can take a my out right here we go all right double props and we must never first guests but until then let me know guys how are you doing how was your week so far so good but I am scared to death of this snowpocalypse about to torment the northeastern United States and why are you gonna blow away for all I need a little drama every now and then I mean Tony you get no natural disasters over there here I get knock on wood I get hurricanes volcanoes I get earthquakes it's galore and sometimes all at once yeah yeah so come on just rough it out I don't on we're very thin-skinned up here okay do we know if there's a queue or I didn't do anything yet son I wanted to talk for just one second about scurvy on the pyrolytic now I'm written lemons are your best friend lemons help prevent scurvy I want to talk about something aya I followed Jaime's lead and i jailbroke my iphone fav uh and you know it's it's different this done the last time I i jailbroke was with the iphone 4 and the iphone 4 really had trouble with jailbreak he quickly slow down battery life went out the door but the iPhone 5 is much better once you agree I me yeah definitely I mean the experience is completely different it seems that you know I still I have this feeling that the battery is getting a little bit of impact it's all right it's got to have some sort of impact but so far it's really improved my experience with the iphone I mean I there are certain things I and I'll have a video live in probably an hour with my top five things that I would recommend as paid applications and there are there is one for example call bar which is like Oh God hey every single every single smartphone manufacturer please go higher the call bar guy what is it do well you don't really need to go into the calling application to make a phone call just slide a gesture and you get the dialer from wherever you are nice that is like a logical I know yeah here's a good question i mean coming back for a second here have you guys tried using evasion on the iphone 4 to see if it makes a difference compared Jim ya Jaane it doesn't work well on the iphone it's the same kind of day of it you it'll work um but a lot of a lot of the apps crash so that's the wrong Liam yeah i jailbroke my my son's iphone 4 and the experience it works but the experience it depends on what you load on it really so this um Jaime's going to show this in this video but this osseo task switcher is exactly what Apple should do and you've probably seen this on the interwebs let me click on myself so it gets in there you soft so it oxxo so it shows you five previews of your open apps and these beautiful card view if you want to remove an app and close it you swipe I'm doing this backwards so it's very difficult you swipe down oh go there you go you go over to the right you get play controls you go over to the right again you get these bad ass quick toggles and you get snippy and if you want to kill all the applications you just press and hold on any of them and it'll kill everything else exactly and I'm making I'm doing a bad job here but I may seem to be much better job I just sent a tweet out that we're live-streaming we already have 18 viewers so I expect that number to rapidly increase and we will hang out with our pocket now peeps in our pocket now readers are popular stop viewing can actually join us yeah what's with them yeah well yours join you're in the jailbreak I am enjoying for today Spotify on Windows Phone 8 ah sorry Neely is it faster anything in the windows phone 7 or it is miles faster than on windows phone 7.5 it's not laggy um you know what it's interesting because for example if I want to play something streamed on the iphone you get this little bit of lag it's like like a second or two and you don't get any of that on Windows Phone on the beta it's currently on beta it's free and I do recommend that I mean I'm still waiting on Instagram but Spotify is like good enough for the weekend so i'll be using b 8x4 this weekend and I see some familiar faces joining us if i recall well from great britain and from denmark that is that right awesome so you guys are immunity milk you know the lesson from last week let's take it from my left to right Henry lavender will come back it's been two weeks hello Henry hi how are you I'm doing well that is awesome let us know what you want to talk about today um I don't know I just I've caught the cyanogen mod bug i mean i've flashed on two devices in the last week or so and i'm loving it so what do you think what he thinks the best feature compared to stock android um the battery life when the device is asleep it being it barely moves I mean I've left them overnight through the day and it hasn't moved like one percent is all its content I mean it's just got killer stand by yeah what else what else do you like about it the fact that it fixed most of the problems I had with 4.2 on my Nexus 7 that's probably my biggest point about it I like yeah I have not used a cyanogenmod device in a while I got the Optimus G I was using that but there's no official cyanogenmod 10 part I'm just trying to picture the stuff that was awesome about it um you could just configure a lot of different things and it was just so incredibly stable and robust I don't know whether I should flash on my one x+ because I just love sense some shine I don't want to go through the whole HTC dev thing and possibly void my warranty how do you think how do you think sense for looks um I like it I'm sorry since five I was 10 5 I don't like the new icons that's probably my biggest gripe about it I I'd imagine that someone that likes sense for doesn't like sense 5 because sense 5 is kind of the opposite extreme super minimal flat layers whereas sense for has rounded buttons on the keyboard rounded shiny icons and that kind of thing I just I'm just a fan of the extra features the HTC felt like they're nice clock and the nice weather widgets the only one thing i don't like that sense is the weird battery usage thing which is tiny compared to the one on stock Android I mean that's not useful at all is it if you can see that I your screen brightness is Oh better oh yeah yeah yeah they should have kept it the way that it comes with stock Android not apply their skin to that right yeah econ use I don't know you cuz too small you can't tell where any big drops happen awesome well uh very exciting you got cyanogenmod tell your Nexus 7 we're gonna bounce around here and we have a new policy when we're done talking you or it inject you so that other people can join so uh it's good seeing you again n roll I see you thank you alright see ya I we have Michael from Denmark good to see you welcome back it's been two weeks how are you where's your bath throne ah ah right yeah we last time we really didn't get to see much bad phone just a few a few minutes maybe we can see more cool stuff of course again um but I don't know what to say about it Michael just just for one short short second Brandon we have a slight slight problem hai mei has been a gift out of the coal and he cannot join back so could you have an empty spot you invite him and saline please mute your microphone I don't know if there's a way to get them in here I'm gonna try with this white button alright I just invited him so let's see what happens um so um so Michael can you know what I would like to see is I'd like to see how the home screen looks when it's on the phone and then you put it in and then the phone screen gets like wider and so okay this is the before this is that it's all ya got four icons down below some widgets in the center and then here's the after totally different that's interesting so it remembers the configuration you have on the phone and then what you have on the tablet yeah it's it is different which is is fine because you don't want exactly the same all rights aptly then on your phone is there a way to to set it so that it does mirror what you have on the phone in case you just want the same thing I haven't found it if this one let's say like that I don't think there's a way to do them I shay yeah um what was this problem of it I can I have a tendency to focus on the bad things do you know it's a world what works just should be there but what doesn't work shouldn't be there so that's what's interesting and then the padfone 2 uses their own for 13 pins virgin pin clock yeah exactly but it's it is it does support micro sim but Michael problem is that it is really not ooh that's kinda like begging to be damaged that's not good ended and it is now it's in the middle it's charging now it's on the side it's not charging and no that's not good that's not okay I have a very important question for you Michael you got that as a mo or it's free for some reason right yeah demo and I have to return it you have to return it would you after you return it go and buy it um no why because i'm waiting for nexus for what was really cheap cheap as the nexus 4 and the nexus 7 i guess um I would it is a it is a good phone the problem is exactly that it is actually too expensive um can you buy just the phone or you have to have the tablet 20 you can buy just the phone as as far as i remember but i'm not sure what that that runs that's the fun in that that is exactly if you're watching now it would be a good time to join because we're nine of us yes indeed hmm the biggest problem is i would buy this if the screen resolution on this was better it's pretty much the same resolution as on the phone that's disappointing at exactly i was like when I first what no I don't want that because it's got such a high ppi on the phone and then you look at tablet right away and it's such a contrast you know yeah exactly you're just um your web page and say ah I want to watch this on the tablet and then what the hell happened to my text why is the pixels all over I considering how expensive it is now what would it cost of that was 1080p on the tablet it would be pretty laptop cereal yeah but but the problem is how much more expensive because it is pretty expensive now yeah once you get to a certain point I mean you might as well throw a few extra hundred bucks just so it's really nice more willing to to give some extra for it and get a proper screen on it then I would now we're just as what I don't really want to use yeah that's applet hey hey Michael don't mean to be short but we're gonna kick you out now so we can get some more people in here thanks for joining us again man yeah while you read me make sure we have enough slots heineken come back to the call you yes in dee dee all right moderator okay so we have I'm gonna screw up your name I'm very sorry for this I'm sure you're from the Nordic countries Assad a candace von Berg who are your already read laughing so yeah that means I had a great job doing that saying that please unmute your microphone from the top right corner icon there should be a icon on your top right corner right I think there are the pressures on or maybe he's just like me and had his microphone drivers all messed up even guys looks like it's unmuted nothing happens yeah well until until you fix your microphone problem let's go to let's go to the medical lamb James Lombardi a familiar face from from the comment YouTube will have to mute unmute your microphone i have a missed it now yeah awesome welcome how are you trying not to die it's fine it's that's not wrong um the first pocket now live when you guys announced that you guys are doing it i had actually come out of surgery about three hours earlier and i was really intent on getting on it and I was on my Nexus 4 on the car ride home and I had on that climbing I am I had on the pocket now live page and I actually fell asleep due to the amount available are you are you are you okay you're covering all right yeah yeah I'm recovering fine and then like last week or late last week I got this ridiculous like cold / flu that's going around my area oh man this shriek so I've just been like dead so that's my voice a bit gone but yeah anyways welcome and a speedy recovery thank you talk about and i kinda want to talk about bb10 I mean haha the shame Michael's not here but um yeah it is he's the only one who used it up close in person although Fisher sending me sending me the bb10 Jaime hates me for that but I thank you a good test I do i do i'm the one that was supposed to get it come on oh I didn't need like 10 hours to make up my mind and then I'll send it to you no not right then you'll send it to Michael because I want to see it in Barcelona and then hi we are gonna get it after MVC I'll just complicated it's just get in light so what do you want to talk about with blackberry what do you think of it I it looks really cool I mean I am a massive like webos advocate I'm always rooting for the underdog I mean I have a pre I have a pre plus I have a pre too and I have a pre three on the way and never pre three on the way how did you get yeah ebay even when oh wow that is hot it's really very poor it's really hardcore to ebay for a phone that's old let alone on a phone that has a dying platform come on really I would still die to have a vir going to track down an hd2 if I can find one in good condition for what Tony of year could probably fit your wrist like a watch probably exactly that's what we last about with Michael and Aoife he brought me his AT&T HPV r and it was like this this small in my head but I just love the phone he actually gave my pretty three that Michael cuz he was such a women West banana okay you know i love the phone it was just the nothing to do with it really is i'm making phone calls that was what i mean the the thing about webos amazed it's just how like stupidly integrated everything was I mean from the messaging app you cannot sky was amazing do you talk you could text like for a flick of a button I mean I always hated the size of the the pre-screen apart from that one thing of from the bottom of our screen when it slid down I could still change every profile I mean yeah I have baby hands so the nexus 4 looks absolutely massive but I do to have baby hands yeah you have an arsenal the phones now what else do you have there yeah when you get uh I've got a playbook right next to the screen which is like why I waiting for bb10 see if I can that's like that I've got a glove playbook we don't we don't hear much about the PlayBook yet do you have you ever used in nexus 7 for example Ike is the PlayBook better in your opinion than the nexus 7 i've used both time i have used both by really want a nexus 7 with 3g yeah yeah I mean yeah I mean I but I got the PlayBook when it was super cheap here well i've got i got a playbook when it was super cheap here in the UK so I've got the 64 gig for 130 squeeze wait which I'm guessing is something like where's over a unit converter here like 180 yeah somewhere around yeah some or something like that for that capacitor it's pretty nice yeah state they were up in the fire shell um yeah I really wanted to get one of those and they were on the ebay store but I sold out like new under two hundred and five dollars so i got who's holding up the dental axiom oh god yeah oh god we'll get there to the money go before before we we part ways i'd like to ask you something I know everybody on the pocket now seeing their opinions I want to hear yours but what do you think what does it take or is it possible for blackberry to catch up to Windows Phone in market share or maybe even become the third ecosystem um well I think they can but that might also because i'm also a blackberry easier you guys gonna like hey we pull anything even my phone today lovely Maria was no we're not I used to be it Latonia and I used to use blackberry for work in our previous jobs and I I was hooked I mean I'm waiting for that bb10 Brandon you hear that right and I want to try it microphone hey Nora yeah I I'm really looking forward to the Z spin but um it's it's so expensive here in the UK it nobody got thank you very much for joining us I will kindly ask you don't take this the wrong way to you with this hangout so that other people can can join I will fight for having me guys say thank you very much for helmand even please pick bigger person and dog let's see how can I see your names down here sorry guys all very new to google plus we're all new to but let's see who we got here who is holding the dell that you look at what i've got here oh yeah and that's beautiful look at what i've got here is the last pocket pc other day oh it's so pristine have you ever used that thing I have I this used to be my e-reader before the ipad man i just point out something how old devices the screen is sunken in like a millimeter can you look at that uh geez no swipe gestures on there you rena d remember the Pocket lint and all the dirt which was around around the screen on the corner suite I was used my my stylist to pick it out I'm getting the same thing though with the nexus 4 in its bumper case all this dust keeps I'm azz you can take the bumper off to get rid of it but then I'm afraid I'm going to have a Joe moment and we're coming I'm actually going to charge this thing just for the love today okay steven is ok let's say you're like uh how about who we got here Nick I'll Celdran am I staying at horribly wrong me I'll please unmute your microphone from the top right corner okay hey it was it was set up on the on the bud microphone um you you pronounce it right mm-hmm I like to see someone wearing headphones even larger than mine are here so I do not deal out no way a wireless you know so it's serious the mic quality is pretty bad mmm and we can hear you just fine I'm really happy to be here just like dominicano on the first bucket now I really wanted to jump in but I didn't have a Google+ account so I made it I made it one specifically to join you we're honored so it's very from hell france france oh yeah once the device you are using at the moment and if she's here at 8x uh yeah nice guys here we go here we go yeah and and is fun fun I don't just put if I i use i used zune and now xbox music so i'd only i I've a zoom past from the beginning so i don't really i did a really test ask but if I you know I'm actually gonna kill the service today and the reason why is because I actually activated it for the after the buzz that I did on the 8x and the service is great but the problem is there were a lot of the songs that I wanted that I had to pay for even with the past I was like when wait yeah it doesn't happen to me a lot but it's true that a few miss mainly soundtracks like want one specific movie in France that really had a good soundtrack you still have to buy two to pay like 10 bucks to get the album even though you have a pair so it's it's pretty annoying but in in in my in my case it didn't happen that much and honestly if that if it happens I just don't load music yeah another way so are you are there oh boy no he can finally I already paid it I take him having a zoom past this is not your first Windows Phone device no no no it's my actually my third I had the yummiest even on day one I am a Microsoft early adopter I'm us too often disappointed but yeah so I I had the the omnia 7 day one and after that I had the HTC Titan and back in november i bought I bought this one and before that had I had energy to uh which I managed to do so for a lot of money where is very excited here we go here's a Titan there we go okay me Kyle I got I'm gonna be a jerk now okay what happens what happens if you cannot upgrade your windows phone 8x to Windows Phone nine whatever that hat will you still be Microsoft fan I don't know because I you know I'm i really wasn't planning to buy an 8x and I was like okay seven party is going to be just fine for me and even though knowing oh what's coming from with several with with 7.8 but when I saw the price of the EDX and I saw my bank account by anyway so even though even we're like don't have the money and and I'm not rich or anything it's good it's the opposite i I'm almost you know I had to pay extra to my bank because I am I went you went over your reddit line yeah well yeah that's it so but I just love I just fell in love with the with the design and the color of this one actually yeah so I really I really wanted to buy this one I really isolated a long time with with the night party but the 920 is so big and so heavy for me that actually make phone calls a lot it was just me what's a fan you use your smartphone to help people yeah yeah I do i do and and about that i have to say something may be specific about france that in that evolved the last month's because you know almost maybe not a year ago we had to pay we were like one of the most expensive country in the world regarding you know phone phone calls home plans the race yeah yeah and mb and because of one carrier that that that jumped into the mobile space everything fell down on the price went really really low and now for 20 euros a month we have unlimited everything literally with everything what SFL yeah they do it they dared him to actually all the carriers follow the delete because they had to they couldn't they can be left alone with their with their 50 bucks price so it's really really nice now we can have a really good a really good plan for or not a lot of money d no no not yet we are stuck on h plus but actually for me just fine you can still watch you know 720p videos and stream music so ya know and it reads in Europe are great yeah I don't really know their advertising 4g in big city and pretty much in the entire country for probably two thousand for 14 but i can wait actually I would prefer to have a better you know internet speed at home than on my phone because right now even on a 120 megabit per second connection spin at home I still have more speed on my phone at least you upload things it's insane you I make videos on YouTube and to upload a one gig video 1 Giga one kick to it takes about five hours it's my house Wow and and it's every year when I go to Berlin for the ephah and when I go to Barcelona for the mwc so I don't like you it's it's really it's really annoying because you have to to to to have optic fiber but it's not well you know establish in all our come in all over city and I live in a quite big city but I can't have it in my place so it's really annoying for all that for for that specific case because I'm se book and Evan happy I was happy to see Stefan because we we didn't see him until now I think yeah I'm here I'll be back he's the man ok yeah thank you very much for joining us and we're waiting for you and next week hopefully yeah uh I try take my pleasure pick your next guest ok George you're up hi guys ok George I want to see that axiom what was it the fire uh this is actually the x51 I i had the x51 video which resumed bluetooth but um that got destroyed so yeah I got down buried oh that was wrong the trip one of the first PGA screens on that guy oh yeah yeah definitely and that's amazing otos about you George where you from uh well um I'm Greek but I'm from what I've grown up in London um yeah I'm 30 say three years old and I absolutely love what you guys are doing your you really like ma'am you know it's great i'm a big fan of well I've been a big fan of pocket pcs for years and years years oh I had my first HTC why was a no to mini yes i think it was called really really nice device and I was hooked from then and I'm a bit of a Microsoft fanboy as you can probably tell that wasn't my nokia over lumia 800 Oh No alumium rights lengthening winning I haven't got the 7.8 yet but that's because i've been using the 920 mainly so i haven't had time to you know to install it on it yeah yeah you're going to be selling this I've heard the battery life is terrible but now that um wow that's what I've heard but i've never i've got the spotify on this I'm a very happy man so oh yeah we are we we definitely our man I mean you know that that 800 was like uh that was a good phone I love the size of that 800 my wife has died got my wife exactly the same one but in pink and she was absolutely in love with it she yeah she loves everything pink yeah I don't show you just quickly my med she is his she is unique if breaking stereotypes yeah yeah yeah that is nice man and as sad from Windows Phone I mean what sounded are you using um well strictly speaking not mine my wife's what is a surface Oh surface RT whoa what else it's not actually of use around the house so the main thing that I work in IT so I'm normally on a desktop gaming or something like that for surfing the web or something like that it's perfect to get one to like the work line you know citrix it's this client is perfect for that so I've got got no real issue with it could there be more apps a few more games yes but i think if you don't if you don't invest in this sort of thing then it's never going to get the ecosystem yeah and you know the reason why i feel that the surface is not taking off is because microsoft wasn't really smart about it i mean for example when apple launched the ipad was like that is ok you can run iphone apps here while we get the apps working and that really was the segway for the ipad to take off I mean what is the difference between allowing windows phone 7 apps to work on Windows RT I really don't understand what's taking them so long yeah um I'm a hundred percent with you and at the same time there's a lot of things on Windows RT which is sort of like why haven't they been brought into you know windows phone 8 yeah um or what hasn't why has it taken this long to get um you know Spotify on on Windows Phone 8 exactly yeah it's exactly good good no it's as I said I do i do like to support i think that when microsoft pushes you know pushes the boundaries a little bit then they the others tend to work a little bit better as well I don't think if you know yes so sharing it mmm I get your point I mean that the surface is a good design it's aight aight i don't know i tested it i used it for two weeks and you know to be honest with you I you know two things that I didn't like first of all and everybody was like you're on I'm like no I'm never are I mean you try to hold it from a corner it hurts I mean it's it's really awkward because of the sixteen by nine design but you know that's really not my problem I biggest mom was launching an app any app you know out of whichever it would take forever it's it's a little slow that Tegra 3 is just you know I mean they're only one Z probably when the s4 pro if they you know if the next RT device that has the s4 pro or something like that in it hopefully you love that hopefully I I think Microsoft had a great opportunity with that tablet I I don't know but anyways George it was great to meet you i am amazed at the library of devices you got in ok that that delicacy way i have a hd2 which my mother now uses so this already have one of these but me either everybody on the planet has an hd2 but knees sorry that's really fun and i still had the original HTC pouch oh well you don't mint George thanks for joining us it's been a real pleasure and Men hope hope to see you next week probably we got talk more Microsoft a pleasure it yeah man bye bye ok bye bye so up next I see this person here waiting for quite some time Thomas hi yes you unmute your microphone hello hi welcome how are you where are you from I'm pretty good um I'm from Michigan here in states oh I gotta hand it out to a u.s. colleagues system of hours i'm talking to european guys that you guys use just sold sorted out between yourselves we'll just talk about burgers and statues of labs yeah things relating to Americans all made in China what what phone you using time oh hey it's true what phone are using now you went mute oh come back to us um now you were badly good yeah yeah yeah alright alright iphone i'm currently using a iphone 4s did you jailbreak it uh you know I still got a warranty on it so I don't think I really will well wait till it's out okay just you can just restore factory firmware and doesn't know what happened right okay so here's the deal with it and and this is what you know a don't jailbreak if you don't want to but give it for the record here's the deal um the the good thing about IO iPhones is there's this mode called dfu um and what it does is you can't really remove it you can remove the jailbreak in various ways but if you do it the dfu way you're actually wiping the device clean so there is no trace that the device was jailbroken and you know whenever people are like Oh what happens if I brick the device well the cool thing about dfu is you're actually forcing the device into it so if you take the device to a genius bar what the geniuses are gonna do is put it in dfu so there's really no way to brick an iphone I've jailbroken forever and you know if something goes wrong just place it in dfu all I'll film a video next week for you and i'll show you how to do it and there's just no risk you know that's really the reason why i jailbreak i mean i have a nine hundred dollar 64 gig I hope ya and I am NOT gonna risk this thing unless I know what I'm doing and trust me there is no risk Thomas I want to yeah uh why didn't you get the iphone 5 I mean wasn't the wasn't it so yeah I was really buddy you're breaking up my sole reason that Mike's keeps getting muted for some reason I don't know if middle of something here yeah i have i actually had this for about a year and a half right now so those before the iphone 5 was even announced or thought of so social party until the next one's come along before you upgrade was my question yeah well i mean i'm i'm still walked on like a family plan with my parents and two year contracts while i have to wait till adds up for another year few months oh sure you get the iphone 6 well actually probably not like uh i I've actually gotten really bored with iOS as i'm sure a lot of people have so where are you going widow i'm definitely widow lady i'm going oh yeah i'm going over to android I got my nexus 7 here i got for christmas thank you oh I've been watching you guys and learning how to navigate Android and stuff I've actually just unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7 oh we're spoiled your toilet alright yeah so yeah I'm definitely gonna try and get like a galaxy s4 or whatever the next flagship is McGwire yeah my advice to you go Samsung I mean they've really definitely want to Samsung or the next Nexus phone yeah they've nailed Android well they do well I mean I'm seriously a love with Android thinks the same song yeah and you know just just uh for a historic look at look at what I've got here oh this will get a phone this

you using well I've currently got the well an old HTC Wildfire s I'm upgrade connectors for when it in a couple of days oh but that that wildfire was was cool the size of that device to smoke he hold it up it's one of the few small phones that has ever been yeah that it's in it's like it's just you know it's even I'm laughing I love that design i love that design it's so reliable when I saw this

constantly on the batteries always dry you know haha one question what what games do you have because for example I tried to load nova 3 on it and it loads but I don't know the Tegra 3 sometimes handled it and the only reason why I got the nexus 7 was for gaming actually well everyone's like nexus 7 or like yeah I've always liked pure Android I've got it and sometimes it will stumble a lot lalla my leg and it will go through three it is that Tegra 3 it's the worst thing on the planet it's I mean today it was quite embarrassing because I was playing on one that 27 had loads of apps in the background i always get too close my apps and i was going on google+ and went on to Joe Levi and it froze and I kept you know keep tapping it try and you know and then it started responding again and it sort of but really quickly and it sort of tried to hang out from Jones I'll God so embarasses I'm like oh god so I always like really careful now you know clothes all the apps hey juice

mobile mobile beta and I get unlimited a limit see ya guys good god that's how much you want you know I know I'm gonna take this opportunity because i know i will be back in Berlin for the ephah this year what carrier does offer that that thing because I me and Michael when we were in Eva last year in Berlin we were looking like crazy at all carriers and we got like 250 megs 500 megs I was like no we need gigabytes we need to upload videos many terabytes petabytes tell me why should I look for who has the best internet who has yeah who has no caps on uploads um everyone I think because it was

you've been here for a while so let's talk hello hey Jonas where you from I'm from Germany as well oh nice thank you so version um yeah I do have LTE here so that's a nice thing oh nice which carrier has adopted LTE um I think t-mobile nah but several others t-mobile you know it's just so interesting because t-mobile is big over there but then I'm in the United States it's like it's a it's both hit or miss when it comes to signal and hit or miss when it comes to devices yeah and you wonder why they wanted to get rid of the hum back oh yeah yeah yeah so what device you're using What's Wrong you got um pretty much the phone that everyone has got at some point the galaxy assume oh I thought you were gonna say iphone 5 yelitza use you oh man we do hold it up again that that is the phone galaxy s6 you get the jelly bean update uh not yet it's the reason I didn't get the jelly bean update is because there's two variants of the s2 because you have not good and the one with the GE yeah yeah this is the one with the G and in kennesaw yeah the CPU is different right yeah it's not a Exynos processor it's a it's a snapdragon texas instruments no it's it's like the Galaxy Nexus variant it's it's really interesting you know I actually skipped the galaxy s2 of our galaxy nexus and you know I like the Galaxy Nexus and all but i really regret skipping the galaxy s2 was a good phone it was a really good phone it's a good phone the galaxy s2 is still one of the my favorite phones of all time because it's it's still one of the thinnest phones it's one of the fastest phones it's got a crazy good screen yeah it's just you could live with it it's not like really dainty like a iphone 5 it's a such an awesome much telling them what i like about this is that this is not like huge like exactly yeah 4.3 actually allege against eyes like mine which exactly and in the display was in pentile so it was just you know you even if it wasn't you know 720p well when it was launched there was no sir thing to 720 that was uh yeah and I don't yeah I didn't really care about it this way was so beautiful i just i really regret skipping that device it was a good phone and a thin phone it's and press about them that thing was when I when I first laid my hands on it in mwc 2011 my first impression was this is too thin this is too light this is this feels cheap but I yes I remember Brandon saying in his review that it was just too thin to hold haha I remember that I was wow I can't believe you listen to me I only we always talk about how there's this sweet spot in the market for a good 4.3 inch phone on Android yeah i rana CLE it's still the galaxy s2 and it's still being sold man it is and what i want an awesome phone um Jonah's thank you for joining us yeah good pleasure wait it um I was have another form yeah i want to show you um oh this may not look like me a real pic resentful we're running out of time I didn't think quick oh my god what no good tonight is running its ell yeah there we go what no key is that the n86 oh god that was a classic yeah it was like oh that was a classic Morty food no it's got the dial but it was a really good phone you know that was the time with Nokia was glorious designs the the quality of that phone was great edit runs s60 yeah that's what it was back then but you know that was no Kim and it was it was it it wasn't big it wasn't small it was really comfortable was a really good phone really really good phone I said why delirious yeah you know well it's a pleasure having you Jonas hope to see you next week all right I will be here next week thank you oh cool clear hey man I see how the person who's been waiting for quite some time Joseph a wait one sec wait one sec holding on holding on I may give your iPhone yeah where are you at in the wait Oh God let me see we're this mailbox thing with the iphone I've got I am down hold on it's dropping your 84,000 you're welcome by the way laughter I am at 150 1400 and whatever could you guys share the knowledge what the heck are you doing this is hey Tony we're doing this for you you are the person that come that's complained about google apps like nobody I've ever known and so supposedly this is going to make gmail awesome on the iphone and it's coming to android actually in windows phone and other platforms as well it's so so what it is it's it's an app called mailbox it's via startup and what it lets you do is treat your email list as a task list so interestingly what you can do is take a message that someone sends you and say reminded me about this this weekend you see another message remind me about that in two days and so you have this recurring schedule and what it does is it pushes that to the cloud and literally sends it back to your inbox at the specified time yeah I that's why you're not answering my emails I just push yours all to you know never tell not definite indefinite yeah Joseph welcome oh let's talk to Joseph where are you from I'm from Cleveland we live another US citizen what bullying is HP pre 30 Michael had to be here Michael is I want am I gonna be here anyone else about said you here we go let's go I also have the HP TouchPad oh god my whistle so many time Michael come on and we're watching where is all the market share for webos devices there it's plenty of users out there yeah now are you looking forward to any of the the new upstart companies like the Firefox OS of the u-boat ooh that might give your MOS underdog experience yeah i'm looking forward to a booth oh I was actually sad to hear that it wasn't coming out until 2014 oh I pulled something yesterday I apparently devices are coming by October this year so it should be cool later yeah and I'm the Galaxy Nexus rom for it comes out next note this month later this month i believe yeah yeah her to be all on you bunt too but the time next month comes around yeah yeah let me ask you passengers of so the app development has pretty much stopped for webos right pretty much yeah so does that is that kind of a pain because you can't find new apps or are there enough apps for webos that doesn't really matter ah um sometimes i like wish there would be some new apps like you know how Apollo was really bad in the blackberry 10 right oh yeah if it's actually it's actually pretty good on the on the 33 yeah yeah the only wrong with the pre 3 is like you know they would have figured out like an android emulator or something like the blackberry that would have liked kept it alive or something because it was like one because of my geographical location I had no contact with webos until recently in August when Michael Fisher brought me an HP beer and chill off the web OS platform and you know what I really liked it it's cool that thing that thing could have had a future it's cool leo the only thing I didn't like about webos was launching an app and then just getting that waiting waiting I find ways listen I know we don't pull out the surface don't please no no no no no no I hate the surface good oh man remember this all pixie pixie it would've been forgiven you for 90 barks can you can do me a favor and kick it out and press it up to your microphone the clicky keyboard I'd missed that III don't have the phone I used to have the phone uh they just kept the but it's almost as good you can embrace yeah you know what what I used to have was the treo pro you remember the last tree oh yeah I remember that yeah that was a good what is the same design as the pixie yeah but it had that it was windows mobile he has on his mobile those were the days ya knows what are the days we are running very low on time I think we have time for one more one more well as cool so Joseph thank you very much for joining us thank you I believe Stephen Foster's been here for a while hello yeah yes we almost did at unifirst I like me hey Mike we are here yeah yeah sorry I had problems down in at first you've got a lot of gear on the bed behind you Stephen do you know just stuff left out stuff like that familiar on I've got a couple of things on it to show though um yeh sure until I mean phone then existed same as earlier on nice golly beanies yeah whoa official cm 10.1 I'll that'll work better ap take hd2 everybody has fun but nothing he can do it by hand ebay tomorrow seriously and Nexus 7 also running I cm10 Robin 10.1 due to the luggage is on four points oh oh yeah I had mentioned on the pocket now weekly the other day oh right i hit my friend in and Michael were talking about that my remember yeah yeah so you're an Android guy that's that's your your prefer yeah yeah yeah mainly um yeah first smartphone was one of the old ZTE blade or a fairing of the blade yeah and yeah and rode all the way I love the openness of it um same as a famous joke really just if I can do whatever you want with it agree they're great android is the new windows mobile back then there was windows will we will we list it is i have here's here's me being jerk again Steven absolutely had to switch platforms and say goodbye to Android would be your platform of choice question um probably probably wouldn is fine I just like I not obviously the open this thing is completely out the window with that but as well but um using it on the hd2 I like how smooth everything runs the lack of lag that well at least on the Android devices our iPad I've never been able to completely eliminate where as witnessed by obviously is smooth yeah probably but I've not never been a big apple fan in general yeah just you know it's just too many days on see some people do some people don't it gives you the appearance of being smooth but as long as you're in the operating system whenever you launch an app there it goes it's all right it's amazing as as Michael Fisher pointed out in the Odyssey review windows phone dual for single core got 720p or wvga it's always fast it's always a consistent and that's just awesome about it and that's exactly what what people don't seem to understand when when they're talking about specification Wars like androids got quad core and soon octa-core windows phone doesn't need that Rahul oh wait smoothly go Microsoft baya they they got out of the spec thing like the no I mean people don't really talk about it except for us and maybe some other sites but windows phone specs don't matter as much and then you can kind of focus on the hardware do I want a really good camera like on the 920 do I want something thinner and lighter like the 8x that's is that there's another brendan is that the galaxy camera and behind you yes I was ok you know it's so funny when I show this to people I say this is a galaxy s3 with a camera on it because yeah camera hat on oh my gosh to the it's not cs3 with a camera on the back hmm yeah and it's kind of fun it's kind of I mean we've we've written about this at length the next one's going to be the one again because wrong with this is that it's it's so it's like why would you take this around it takes slightly better pictures I'm like galaxy s3 but you're not going to put this thing in your pocket at a galaxy s3 okay whenever whenever they bring out a mirrorless galaxy camera I don't care if they charge me a thousand books for it I'll buy it my problem is my problem is paying my promise paying the amount of money that a mirrorless camera costs uh you know just to run android I you know it's like that's the point it's not a better camera that's my problem hey check this out so when you get a call and in the future galaxy camera when it has a phone in it and and something happens that's interesting you do this the xterra you know your your lens extends when you know you wanna yeah that was about to say something but we would have lost our clicking thing yeah I think with that we should probably wrap things up what do you say yeah about or maybe a short short short last one minute goal okay an extra bonus I we shall do it thank you for joining us Steven thanks okay really last last person today who's gonna pick one I rather somebody pick somebody well here let's get Benjamin shot he was upset he didn't get to talk to us is he still around yeah Benjamin why I say your last name right hello hi there is quick arrest what are you using where you're from what's your life story is not that much in our way and i'm using in

do you have a tablet you muted you are muted mr. Benjamin come on so no I don't have if you were to get a tablet what would you get I guess the next system or maybe the nexus 7 i'm not sure 5 i'll go with the 10 a 15 min yeah I I don't really have use for my tablet will not have my phone yeah that's a good point I can understand that I just have to be on tech overload all the time so if I need a screen in every room and uh you know if i happen to leave my phone on the counter and my tablets on the coffee table I don't want to get up so I they're all spoiled believe the first world problems are just you know unbelievable um well I think I think that was the last call we were going to have today Thank You Benjamin for for joining us and thank you everyone for joining us should i do it drum solo on the way up yeah everybody thank you for joining us hope to see you again next week hope if we don't have any problems which we will not have I promise next week 2 p.m. Eastern will be here again with pocket now live episode 3 until then everybody have a great weekend great week and random please lead us out drum set protected do everything didn't take anybody talked about and with that
