this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by Jackthreads welcome to him around up my say needs me i'm jon rettinger dent i'm here on the city needs every day i'm shuffling shuffling shuffling shuffling let's go ahead and start with one of the hottest tech products coming soon Microsoft newly announced surface tablets we were there at the event had a chance to get some hands-on time with them very limited hands-on time Microsoft was extremely tight-lipped about what the specs were going to be other than that there might be an i5 thrown in there so two different tablets there's the windows RT version the windows pro version if you're one of the differences technobuffalo calm we have full article explaining them but slice to say the pro is gonna be a little higher SPECT how Microsoft did not say when the pro version was going to be coming instead a few months after windows 8 launch which is pegged for october november ish what they especially didn't say what the price of the tablets are going to be everybody saying these look tremendous they might be an ipad killer they might not be an ipad killer i may not even compete with the ipad at all but the pricing is really a big issue of concern so i said the windows RT version will compete price-wise with tablets pro version though it was worth things that might get a little bit dicey it's not a tablet with a dumb down operating system this is a fully functional Windows 8 computer I think it's gonna be priced accordingly with competitive windows 8 computers especially ultrabooks sir I think the microsoft surface pro dish is really going to be targeting so if you're waiting for the pro version you can be able to pick one up for 699 I think are going to be sorely mistaken we're going to be looking at prices upwards of a thousand dollars for that we also don't know how much RAM is going to be in there how cute bullets really going to be rumors seem to be of the 2gig number so hopefully that'll hold true two gigs hundred twenty eight gigs of storage and we should have a pretty powerful computer that can do most things you guys want to do and while we are on the tablet topic let's talk about Google's mythical Nexus tablet which we may see announced at Google i/o coming up quite soon we exclusively reported that the 7-inch tablet was going to be built by asus going to be rocketing videos Tegra 3 or variant of and was going to be priced below two hundred dollars it seems like all those are coming to fruition in fact we're hearing rumors that this tablet is already shipping with availability supposed to be late next week or late this week depending on when you watch it one thing we don't know yet that was what's operates them is going to have we're hearing rumors that it may actually ship with a pre-production version of jelly bean mineral operating system hopefully going to be announced at Google i/o but still is yet to be seen although I will say a quad-core tablet although it might be Wi-Fi only for less than two hundred dollars really is a killer price point different represents an impulse buy and I think it's going to take a huge market share away from other tablets you know I pad and some of the other issues products in particular one of my favorite phones of last year and this year was the Galaxy Note one I was there at its debut at IFA in 2011 one of my favorite phones I used as my daily driver I loved it's gorgeous 5.3 inch screen it was just an awesome phablet to use I like the larger screen than Epicure tablet with me it was just overall a big tablet Ingham and it looks like its sequel is going to be quickly coming turnovers really fast in cell phone worlds the appropriately named Galaxy Note 2 might make its debut at IFA 2012 where the original Galaxy Note also made its debut supposedly preparing for an October release this guy is rumored to have perhaps even bigger screen than the 5.3 inch found in the original but the screen might also pick your something new flexible display which opposes going to make it as close to unbreakable as possible but I'm sure that'll be put to the test rumors have it that it's going to be rocking the quad-core Exynos processor with hopefully LTE support fingers fingers crossed for that LTE support and will ship with jellybean completely bypassing Ice Cream Sandwich the US versions still don't even have yet

while doing it now back to the show the last rumor has to do with Apple it's hard to go a show about talking about a new Apple product I am in love with a 15 inch Retina Display MacBook Pro I've been using it like crazy battery life has been incredible with screen is gorgeous but when the knocks on it for some people that is just too big to carry around well worry not it looks like a 13 inch version is going to be making its way in October perhaps at the same conference where the iphone 5 makes its debut so if you've been sort of eyeing up that 15 inch but you want a smaller size or perhaps you want to save a few bucks their teenage might be perfect just have to wait until October October shaping out to be a pretty big month with the new 13-inch MacBook Pro is supposedly coming
