this episode of techno Buffalo is brought to you by audible.com welcome back to the episode of ask the Buffalo this to show you could ask me John wrench or any question you've got from the wine were the technology if you want to ask a question every tuesday on TechnoBuffalo calm will put up an article where you can leave your questions in the comments so up this week we're gonna talk blackberry 10 the next xbox 360 and the playstation 4 to iOS visits and some samsung galaxy all thrown into one disaster Buffalo let's start talking so our first question comes from the awesomely named Vegard lockness yes hey John do you think blackberry OS 10 has something to battle the other more mature smartphone OS is with does it have a chance yes I think it absolutely has a chance does it have a chance to be first place or second pledged to take that crown from iOS or Android no absolutely not it's a battle for third place with Windows Phone I did think blackberry 10 brings a lot to the table I've been using it now for just about a week and I'm really enjoying it I want to probably another three or four days before I feel comfortable doing a full review but it brings a lot of new features it brings a lot of intuitive features but it's also a bit tricky and it certainly are some things that fall short so I'll talk about all that in the full review but the moral is guess I think it absolutely can compete and if you're looking to get a smartphone definitely go and check out one of the blackberry 10 devices that hope we'd be out by the time your contract is up Tyler saddington John you think that Samsung makes too many Galaxy devices yes absolutely i'm not saying samsung makes too many phones that's a whole different conversation but that galaxy line is really their flagship and to put that galaxy name in front of non flagship phones i think really dilute the brand i think releasing phone after phone that same galaxy name definitely diminishes so not sure he's saying too many Samsung devices that's a whole other ball wax but yes way too many galaxy phones twitter user who's I'm Mia three at John for lakers are you excited about the new ps4 and the new xbox what we will know more about the ps4 in just a few days februari 20th is coming up and Sonia is presumably going to unveil everything that is going to be the ps4 we've covered in the past we're expecting eight-core some crazy controller that's got a screed in the middle as far as I'm Microsoft's get announced we don't really know but presumably you know that much longer to wait later on the year when III comes up but it comes to the current generation of ps3 vs the xbox 360 debate I'm always a tough one to sell I thank you for looking for value and to get the best bang for your buck you're way better off going with the PS store you're getting the latest blu-ray player firmware upgradable any new features that Sony issues with the blu-ray format the ps3 is going to get it now that being said I do almost all my console gave me on the xbox for a few reasons first and most importantly to me I just prefer the controller I liked away the xbox controller feels over the DualShock sixaxis controller that have been on the PlayStation consoles in the past I also prefer the UI on the xbox but if you've never used either and you're not really partial to one control over the other it's a way better bet to go at the ps3 I think you're getting a little bit better graphics at the very least you get more storage space on the blu-ray than you do on the DVD on the Xbox both gaming experience they're going to look pretty good we're looking to get sort of the best bang for your buck ps3 is going to be a great way to go be interested to see though if that holds true the next generation of consoles I to known that much longer to find out so if that helped into your question this one also comes from twitter user real Gary sawhney asks at John for lakers what are you expecting in the upcoming ipad mini 2 and the iphone 5s this year let's start at the 5s I don't think it's going to be a giant hardware upgrade think it'll look exactly the same as a Phi a little bit faster processor not probably be about it I think we're the big things we're going to see with the 5s is on the software side hopefully hopefully hopefully we're going to see iOS 7 I don't think it's gonna be ready to be released when the 5s comes but hopefully we'll see previews of it which fingers crossed is gonna be a complete rethinking and revamping of iOS I want to come to the ipad mini 2 it's all about the screen expect a much better screen a Retina display the higher PPI in the current generation iPad so the ipad 4 and of course the ipad 3 before it what are you guys was excited about iphone 5s you excited about an ipad me too next generation galaxy phone and you not even care about any of that leave your comments down below alright so let me take a break from the questions
