that's right it's that time of year for IFA 2012 to happen in Berlin our own Michael and Tony are both going to be there to cover everything live as it happens but let's start talking about it hello everyone I'm Jaime from pocket now and let's go through our top 5 predictions of what's going to happen in Berlin for IFA 2012 number 5 is Windows Phone 8 hardware even though I'm not going to be holding my breath for this one the only reason we mention it this year is because well last year we got the radar and the Titan from HTC but I'm not really going to be expecting for much to happen for Windows Phone and this event we have a no given that's happening almost at the same time that's probably going to release some hardware but then again we're not sure if Microsoft and other partners are going to be doing something at IFA hopefully that's going to be the case let's see what happens hey number for you guessed it Windows RT hardware now that we're covering tablets upset part about Microsoft's way to launch stuff is obviously not having any hardware to see it on except for the surface and well we've got the slated launch for the end of October and we're hoping that IFA is going to serve some hardware we ms to be launching their products within the same timeline as Windows RT happens so that the surface won't get them as a competitor hopefully that's going to be the case though sadly we haven't been seeing that much adoption of Windows RT from other OEM so it could be the case that we get it it could be the case that we don't so again time will tell number three is upgraded hardware we have been seeing rumors of an HTC one x+ hopefully that'll be the case two gigabytes of RAM a better processor and hopefully Android 4.1 jelly bean on what we would probably call sense 4.2 hopefully that's going to be the case though we're still not sure about that we could probably be also getting android 4.1 jelly bean on other devices that are currently in the market probably get the announcement at IFA parallel to these devices being launched we were thinking about Sony but we already got the sony xperia SL launched silently and probably a samsung galaxy s3 with two gigabytes of ram internationally just as we see in the LT variants in the United States that's probably going to be the case not sure we're going to be hearing much from any other manufacturer gems in the market but it would be cool if we got more Android 4.1 jelly bean and not the case that we got with some devices in mwc where we got gingerbread when ice cream sandwich was pretty much the mainstream already now one of our biggest bets for IFA 2012 is number two jellybean tablets we were very disappointed at mwc 2012 and also at CES where we were expecting more tablets and sadly we didn't get many honeycomb wasn't really that good an Ice Cream Sandwich was there but not variant jellybean is a whole different story and the Nexus 7 has taught everybody how you can ship a really good quad-core tablet at a very same price there's a new Kindle Fire coming to the market and the Nexus 7 is generating a lot of disruption in the market already so hopefully this will be the case where we will be getting a new HTC tablet hopefully probably more tablets from Samsung we already got enough but that probably will be the case and hopefully we will be getting more tablets from masseuse or upgrades the jellybean for some really good tablets in the market like the transformer lineup hopefully that's the case again we are hoping not to be disappointed in tablets but anything can happen now the number one spot was taken by two devices and you'll understand why first of all we've got these recent leaks and rumors of an lg optimus G being teased and apparently this device will have a unique display never seen in the market LT is very famous for their displays on the iPad and also on some generations of the iphone so hopefully that'll be the case that they're planning to change everything with this new super phone that'll be the case I'll see you that because this year we've got a lot of LG devices being launched none of them were good and sadly a lot of them took a long time to be launched but the next device is well we've got an unpacked event from Samsung happening in Berlin on the 29th and we know this is going to be the event for the samsung galaxy note 2 if that's the way they're going to call it hopefully samson's going to bring something different to the table because phablets are cool but they're getting too big I mean it really would be cool if they figured out a way to get rid of all the bezel around the screen and just bring this ginormous screen for everybody to use and make it device smaller even though it's still a phablet that'll be the case but again this will probably be one of the coolest products being launched we were not really thinking that the note will be as popular as it but everybody's enjoying it so I guess that's a new market that everybody wants so hopefully that'll be the number one thing that will be launched at IFA okay that's it for today's top five thank you very much for watching I'm hi Matt Ravenna don't
