this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by carbonite welcome back to the episode of ER Moran up just to show we take all the tech rumors from the week and we smash um bash them and serve them to you on a silver platter of rumor awesomeness we got a lot of great stuff to talk about this week let's start with Microsoft's SmartWatch evidently they don't want to be left behind the smartphone world they might even have a head start Samsung allegedly is in a bit of hot water for hiring students opposed negative comments about HTC Motorola's got a pure Android experience smartphone launching soon and all kinds of other tech goodness come and write your way I'm John render the room around it I probably Microsoft SmartWatch spin development for over a year so they might not just be talking about the idea of building a SmartWatch they might already be well along development process Wall Street Journal said earlier in the week that Microsoft is working on a SmartWatch with a 1.5 inch display now the verge did learn that Microsoft Xbox team has already spent a year developing a prototype the watch is allegedly gonna employ a wristband that attaches to the watch face using a magnetic mechanism give all of transmitting power and data although the ultimate question remains though smartwatches serve only as notification for Windows and our smartphones or they can provide a unique experience that's gonna add real value to our wrists and that's the big question so I'm really curious to see what Microsoft Google and Apple do to see how they can create these products that add value to what we already have and perhaps there's something crazy we haven't even thought of yet so I'm kind of excited Taiwan's fair trade commission is allegedly investigating Samsung over allegations the company hired people to post negative comments about their rival high tech computers better known as HTC if found guilty the company is liable for fines 25 million Taiwanese dollars which equates to eight hundred and thirty-five thousand so not a giant sum of money here at risk the Korean company has responded by saying the unfortunate incident goes against its fundamental principles however though documents published online reportedly proof Saints like has been recruiting students to post praise for samsung while criticizing HTC all anonymously of course Samsung was previously fined by the Taiwanese FTC earlier this year because a mislead consumers about the camera and its galaxy y duos the company is found guilty though it's pretty gutless act on Samsung's part and if anything it shows a Korean company feels threatened by HTC they're pretty awesome HTC One so allegedly moto is working with Google and Google of course owns motorola mobility develop pure Android smartphones that means no extra skins on top of Android just an unfiltered version of Google's latest mobile operating system it also suggests so that Google and Motorola are going out to new phones during Google's annual developers conference in may so there's good news to be had if you're sick of massive Android smartphones to moto is under the impression that bigger isn't always better and with cell phones that are just about right when it comes to the green size our guests though that's gonna mean something in the sub 4.5 inch area so all you giant galaxy note fans might be bit disappointed motorola is going to work to launch multiple devices across multiple carriers instead of one flagship phone on a single carrier which is obviously awesome so motorola Google working together kissy kissy Kissy in the corner to release some hopefully awesome flagship phones what do you guys think could you pick up one of those or a separate Nexus device or maybe those are even gonna be the next I we've been hearing so much about I'm super curious and Google i/o is coming up in just a few weeks in may anyway well the iPhone 5s is rumored to pack age hmm hmm oh sure there's a boring report cites sources claimed to be from Vietnamese company wonderful Saigon electrics maker of iphone camera modules yeah iphone 5 clearly sports a megapixel camera similar to the one found in the four exit generally the new s phones in the series improve the camera sensors and really just some other hardware chin to DN is also reported correctly though on alpha rumors in the past like the view of the new earpods so despite the site's accuracy in the past we're still marking this one as a rumor clearly I'll apples expect this released a phone this summer and Foxconn its main iphone manufacturer reportedly is ramping up hiring anticipation of mass production so we step aside from the rumors for a minute let me think our friends and sponsors adds Carbonite business online backup
