this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by gamefly what's up everyone welcome back the episode of rumor roundup the show title should give it away we take all the tech rumors from the week and we pick the four most important and serve them up to you in one several minute video so you know everything that you missed of this week the HTC to apparently to Apple smartwatches might be coming crazy new touchscreen tech also coming to apple and google glass is getting a competitor from a super unlikely source is rumor roundup i'm jon rettinger let's start rounding them up you know that hot new HTC one you just picked up thrown away Oh obsolete I feel like I'm at a nap aquino the projects got at least six months ago it's obsolete you don't need it anymore evidently HTC one is going to get a sequel that can come as much a surprise but last week we saw the first photo so it might be the follow-up to the aforementioned HTC One codenamed HTC m8 maybe just mate trying to be cute like down the back the license plates the device bears a pretty strong resemblance HTC one with very few noticeable differences at least based on the super blurry photos that we saw so now our friend every stepped in to clear things up claiming to know whether the device will launch in which you excuse it will support saying it will come to all US carriers end of q1 so March ish 2014 what you feel to get your hands on the new HTC two or a mate or maybe some they call it something different so based on recent leaks the m8 appears to feature kind of a curve design instead of the one sandwich edges which might everybody down could a fingerprint scanner on the back of the device just above the rear camera I know that sounds kind of cop outing like it might or might not also cure cancer probably not but it's one of those two for sure the leaf casing is also missing the Beats Audio logo that's no surprise because beads bought back all the shares from HTC recently so buh-bye beats and bye-bye red headphones included in the box you've been holding out for a brand new apple television set or ITV ever you want to call it you may have to wait a little longer supposedly those initiatives have been halted but the good news is it's been halted in order to get a smart watch out the door or smartwatches SmartWatch I so according to research from displaysearch which hasn't had the best track record I'm just going to throw that out there Apple will supposedly launch two models there in accommodate different sized wrists and one day one point seven inches playing one to one point three inch display by comparison just so you know galaxy Gear's got a 1.6 three inch display while the pebble smartwatch is a paltry 1.26 inch screen difference that was supposedly going to be to appeal to men and women at the idea being that women typically have smaller wrists and then I'm still marking is clearly the speculation column until we hear more concrete info but Apple did suggest going to enter new product arenas in 2014 and wearable tech is definitely hot hot hot new commodity and while we're talking about Apple let's go and keep with them supposedly new touch room technologies coming to the smartphone maker app at discovered by our friends at Apple Insider add some credibility to recent bloomberg article Amy apples working on crazy new futuristic enhanced touch sensors to go in their iPhones so over the weekend Bloomberg sources said that Apple was developing touchscreen tech that was more receptive different levels of pressure possibly allowing Apple trigger different UI functions which is kind of neat this patent supposedly implies to the physical buttons but really deep down they're suggesting Apple could use technology on touchscreens themselves so meeting a light press does something in a harder press that something which is kind of cool a bloomberg reports are kind of AZ I want to be implemented so don't hold your breath but to consumers might not see this tech if you even exist until 2015 or later meaning iphone 6s or iphone 7 it sounds interesting and it definitely changed the way we interact with our devices but I don't know that's it kind of squishy right the competition is always a good thing and you expect a google glass to get some competition from I don't know maybe like apple or Samsung but we don't expect them to get competition from is nice on the car manufacturer supposedly engineers over a Nissan have been watching way too much dragonball z look at these glasses on Sunday the automaker T's crazy new glass like technology that looks almost identical to the scouter device Nissan doesn't really reveal anything at all about the device being teased although its unveiling is supposed to be at the 43rd annual tokyo auto show which is supposed to open up on the twentieth of november we've got no information with share d size instead a word at all supposedly being called a 3 e and i would guess going to use it for navigating highways byways and wherever might want to drive looks kind of cool that is until the cops had to pull you over for wearing some freaky looking glasses take a minute to think our friends
