Amazon Set Top Box and Music Service

2014-03-14
this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by Linda calm what's up everyone welcome back to the episode of rumor roundup i'm lashauwn ranchers to show her I take every single tech rumor from the week and I serve a plate to you of the top three or four so you know what could be coming one might be coming when as a potential to possibly definitely could come in the near to perhaps distant future of this week HTC One the Amazon set-top box and Amazon music service could be coming sooner than you think those rumor roundup but to start just rounding things up at this point the all new HTC One might be the most leaked phone since the iphone 5 we pretty much know as much about it as any actually release device out there the final piece of HTC's puzzle was what those crazy dual cameras before well looks like that riddle has finally been solved thanks to a leak ad from Australian carrier Telestra and from the good folks at gsmarena who uncovered it so it looks like the rumors were true when it comes to those rear camera setup which HTC is apparently calling duo camera I guess makes sense the leak add notes you'll be able to edit your photos after you've taken the shot choosing where to focus what to highlight letting you add some sort of weird 3d effect the camera also works really well in low light though we already know that since it's really one of the primary strength of the ultrapixel camera on the original HTC One so think about it for a minute you take a quick picture someone's running or moving young sure what you want to focus take your picture your family I want to take focus on grandma you want to focus on your mom you just tap to focus afterwards we saw this sort of light field technology in the lytro camera and now it's made it to a phone it's a really really big deal I think something we're going to see a lot of new phones moving forward so old design wise looks pretty similar to the outgoing HTC One this technology is really really cool so further specs the leak describes a 5-inch full-hd scratch resistant display that to replace the original HTC one's 4.7 inch screen also confirmed or sent a front-facing boom sound stereo speakers with Jon Asamoah original I imagine some even better on this one a pretty sexy all-metal body we all know and love and finally we get details online said six to the parent let you turn the phone on or off by tapping the screen similar to the really awesome and really useful LG's knock code and also no more silly buttons you now have actually on-screen buttons and you've got three of them that will work so the Amazon set-top box it looks like this one's coming it's just a matter of where and when so you'd expect amazon set-top box to only feature amazon content heavily pushing amazon prime but it looks like bees OS and company are sort of warming up and cozying up to the competition according to multiple sources speaking to our friends at gigaom amazon is reportedly beginning to assemble support from services at plans to include on its crazy long-rumored set-top box the new information indicates that the company has already spoken two of the usual suspects hulu and netflix about building apps for their as of now still rumored but almost confirmed device now let's just stick with amazon for another minute for me i do a song and dance when our new Prime every year it's the best money i spend and it's already an incredible value but it looks like we're going to get even more for a cash even if you gotta pay just a little bit more amazon's off to room burn music streaming service will apparently limits how much a subscriber listens to a given song according to sources speaking to the pre reliable Wall Street Journal the online retailer is hoping to offer an on-demand service as a perk for prime subscribers although limiting playback stand sound like that much of a perk let's see why solicit your same song over and over again amazon or record companies reportedly been unable to come to any agreements during negotiations though I report last month clean amazon was trying to secure a substantial discounts over what other competitive services pay so the idea here is you listen to a song i think you buy it through amazon's own mp3 sale lose that's what everybody's claimed to Wall Street Journal and makes certainly business sense sirs will presumably work by giving users a limited number of streams and when their allotment runs out and Glenn wolf gently encourage you to buy a particular song or album but just probably cram it down your throat with ads so apples motive for introducing iTunes radio is kind of similar although Apple already dominates digital music sales the addition of music streaming to prime would likely cause annual costs to go up boo which already been rumored to balloon from 119 bucks from the $79 it's at right now so what I think would you be willing to pay more to get music service not that good music guy but I think prime even if you've got nothing else I would still happily pay hundred twenty bucks for prime for next-day shipping and all the Amazon streaming services it is the best deal going in tech so Fred 20 bucks you also get the opportunity to stream some songs seems like a pretty good deal to make we take a minute to thank our friends and sponsors at lynda.com intercom offers thousands of engaging easy-to-follow
