hey guys its grand am in a min from pocketnow.com I'm here with Michael Fisher and Jaime Rivera is behind the camera we are at the Venetian at CES 2013 and in this video we're going to tell you what we think is going to happen in the next few days at CES so this year's going to be all about sony sony has yet to make a big end road in the Android space they're going to have their Xperia Z 1080p smart phone which is going to compete with the droid DNA and preempt with Samsung has later this year with the galaxy s4 it's all about Sony this year they use the event here at CES to really announced their their big Congress pretty experienced needs to be awesome and it's not the 1080p is not going to be confined to Sony I think this is going to be the year of 1080p it's any big secret and I think we're going to see a big push from several manufacturers to do that now there are some fringe players around who are have been consistently trying to make a bigger footprint for themselves like Huawei and we're going to see what is it the ascend d1 permit it's still donating to me and right yeah maybe this year that will change and we'll think of them as like a hassle you know that's right depending on what they do in the US market that's going to affect how we report on it but from a worldwide sample we're going to see Android devices from them as well as new windows phone 8 devices that are doing the what became very popular in 2012 which is the colored casings including cyan and a form of magenta and it's no doubt going to be very musical it's really fascinating to see how tablets have evolved over the years at CES just a couple years ago we were seeing really crappy android tablets how the Nexus 7 is out which is blown everything away you might see some new tablets from a sous maybe something to compete with the nexus 7 that's not necessarily called a Nexus device we're going to see a ton of Windows 8 tablets Windows RT hopefully some windows 8 pro as manufacturers try to claw on to an operating system that isn't being very well received but they need a strategy to have tablets and they're going to use Windows 8 because Android tablets are still fledgling great fletchling yeah and I feel like those manufacturers we're going to build these windows from excuse me these windows tablets you can do so with a little bit of confidence because regardless of the fact that it hasn't been terribly well received so far we know Microsoft isn't gonna let it go yeah Microsoft is going to push this as hard as they possibly can to matter of survival for Microsoft exactly put all the research behind it like they're doing the Windows Phone EV but so we're gonna see a lot of them than someone we're going to be poor and somewhere we're going to be great but we won't find out until tomorrow in the next thing yes that's right so one of our biggest concerns is with HTC and with Nokia HTC doesn't have any press events at CES they don't have a really big stand and they're really kind of playing it download you're going to probably be promoting the butterfly the DNA and really that's it they've got the m7 coming out later this year with the church they're going to wait to do a full press event for because that's going to be a really big deal for the company last year it was all about what was last year where's the 1x the one extend they do the one x+ before that was the sensation and then the desire HD HTC always has a phone they rebrand over and over again and the offer on all kinds of carriers across the world this year it's going to be about the m7 which is basically a DNA souped up a lot maybe yeah we will see right i mean i don't know exactly i have this issue with HTC where i want to have so much faith in them that i want them to learn from their past mistakes i don't want them to do a 2011 again right they may keep yelling will say keep making them safe you're right we will see and we're going to talk about this a little bit more on Wednesday after we know a little bit more I think we have on the podcast as well but but also nokia isn't basically the same boat they're not doing much of anything here at CES and i think this speaks to kind of the diminishing role of CES overall going forward and it's kind of very very odd when this manufacturers want to do their own event so they can frame it properly they can tell their own story without you know opera and of course he is just the starting point of the year in mobile tech we've got Mobile World Congress coming up CTIA a lot of really good stuff a lot
