big trucks full of really thin laptops made by apple just sitting in warehouses waiting to roll out to a store near you all that more its room around it what's going on everybody and welcome to rumor roundup for today Friday July first 2011 I'm noak rabbits from TechnoBuffalo i'm jon rettinger and i apologize in advance for all the bad jokes it's we're in the same room all bets are off we got a lot of rumors we got two people on camera let's just get through them first off touchpad you've got in your hands I'm actually touching the touch bed that's good I like it see doing it up there's chemistry all kinds of coverage of the touchpad on techno Buffalo calm so we won't get into any kind of review right now but instead rumors that HP is already talking about licensing webos out to other companies jean-marie think it's been confirmed that they're in talks with other companies the CEO of HP Leo abdominal massacres last night okay let's just calling CEO Leo a has been in talked with other companies to license web OS rumor is that it's Samsung not to talking to you know it makes sense Samsung apparels get a little fed up with Android maybe limitations maybe not but then you know the Android fanboys retire but not another supplementation's what's going on what I mean Samsung's huge they can churn out phones by the bushel yeah there have been rumors that Google may be limiting what carriers can do or manufacturers can do as far as skinning future versions of Android so I think perhaps Samsung's looking ahead their bet with maybe some webos action I just I don't know I just want more with a webos phones what I want to know how to say web OS and Leo a and I want them now but 4.5 inch webos phone with a super amoled plus extra awesomesauce display sign me up it's too big for me I'm not that strong moving on blackberry what's the deal this thing tablet playbook 7-inch first of all here's the email client second of all 10 inch version may have been scrapped in favor of a superphone although it might be a single core super phone I don't know they go court running the qnx software which for all my Greg's about clay book not having an email client qnx is pretty sweet I like it I don't know John you've been using a blackberry lately I am I have been rocking a blackberry bold with my dedicated phone and if rim is smart and actually wrote a long editorial on what rim needs to do to succeed and their conclusion was q NX q NX q NX q NX q NX they say that again q + X which is the operating system that's running on the play book they need it in phone and he did in the phones as quickly as possible if they have to move resources away from a 10-inch tablet to get it on a phone do it I'm in favor of and QX supports eat and put email on it too ah HTC status the facebook phone which is really just a phone with a facebook button I don't know you meet the UM the carrier version 2 cha cha cha cha cha do it do it the cha-cha-cha 2 cha-cha-cha sore from my cotillion days yeah I'm not even gonna my wife is gonna watch us and get very embarrassed oh well as a loss for words right there AT&T announced that the cha cha cha I mean the status is coming out sometime this summer we don't know when we don't know how much we do know that Google just launched plus 1 so our nose are going to be a Google cha cha cha so we could say that you don't know what the status is of the treasure oh look at that so that's why no I'm just I'm just happy to be here folks speaking of things that are unrelated but related to status Justin Timberlake this is one of those truth is stranger than fiction things he was in the movie social network he played that Sean Parker guy in the movie now apparently he's a stakeholder in my space which was just sold to a company that's right around here somewhere in southern california 35 million dollar sale worth it um myspace were 35 million dollars um Tom doesn't have that many friends anymore tom is sitting there all by himself asking for anyone to be his friend certainly there's a lot of intellectual property that myspace has in a lot of information you've gathered about us before we ever started using Facebook 35 million dollars haven't seen evaluation that high since microsoft bought skype no zing or senza livingsocial was came out saying they want to go public for 15 billion dollars everyone's go quiet you know where my ring technobuffalo we're going to go public for 1.5 gazillion speaking of government agencies being hacked are we talking about that I don't know we are now losec everybody's a favorite Love Boat of hackers doing all kinds of stuff all over the world of the Internet delivered a parting gift earlier this week in the form of a little tiny bit of malware bundled in with some supposed documents from AT&T talking about a 4G LTE version of the ipad coming possibly in early 2012john when you think yeah we're certainly going to see an LTE version of the ipad coming AT&T is announced an LTE network is going to be coming soon verizon already has a pretty awesome LTE network are in existence so yeah it makes perfect sense although I personally think that the next iPad we're going to see won't be released until next year it'll probably be packing LTE although i know mr. Kravitz here has either you know what I'm going to stick with this opinion even if I think it's false but i do think it's true new ipad this fall somebody out there you know who you are you're an editor in chief you're going to be singing and dancing on the internet televisions that's all I'm saying wait did you hear that crack out in the distance Oh is the sound of 18 T's network breaking under the weight of the rumor of an LTE iPad sorry had to connect all right so last week we brought you news of Nokia's new n9 phone and rumors about their first windows mobile phone now we all know one thing about nokia they make awesome cameras in their camera phones they really top-notch cameras this week press release came out t-mobile HTC and now the next generation of their mytouch slide for the mytouch slide 4g and the press release was almost entirely about how awesome sauce flavored the cameras going to be I don't know John a few in Tibet right now and let's take the status cha-cha-cha Heather thing here cameras HTC nokia i take note yet heartbeat entertainment say what you will about nokia their cameras are awesome HTC put out some amazing hardware the cameras maybe a little bit less on the awesome scale I love HTC hardware I love that they named their phones after dances but I gotta go with you on this one yeah so I expecting the camera to be quite incredible the press release certainly said how awesome it was best camera that ever kamerad on the face of this camera we don't expect it to do generally put out some awesome pictures it's got some great hardware there as well as HTC is really known absolutely and speaking of cameras shameless plug our own Mike Pearlman as the new olympus pen and he likes it a lot so go read the review on the website i just

birdie told me well no they told John but then i like to say they told me cuz on Ivan demon you hear more things than I do yeah people like there may be some trucks they may be full of MacBook Airs they may be already deployed sitting in securely guard locations just waiting to roll out to a store near you and these MacBook Airs maybe they may have the new version of OS 10 lion pre-installed on them but are they just man who cares are there more computers so this is something that we haven't published its is the first time we're announcing it you guys come close we'll keep it a secret we are hearing from a very reliable source who's involved with the shipping it's not me it's a reliable source involving the shipping and the security that accompanies Apple computers that there are shipments and route to Apple stores for an expected delivery date of next week so after watching us on the first which is a friday so the following week following up the fourth of July so probably the fifth of July would be when we expect to see these new computers and it would make sense that if apple is releasing new laptops right now those new laptops would have y infringe el absolute lion is blind as Y all accounts you know ready to go just about ready to go they've already said it's going to be a downloadable only thing if you want to upgrade not shipping physical media obviously new MacBook Airs you know that it's time for a refresh time for the mac mini refresh time for a mac pro refresh there was no hardware now to wwc sure hello and the macbook the plastic macbook and rumors that we might see a this color which is black if the cameras bad macbook air is finally a glare off the John's head investissement talking my head off your head that's Rob so we might actually see some black macbook airs although that we have him get confirmation on but we were able to confirm the two separate sources that shipments are and routes to Apple stores all right we're we've taken up
