this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by the Jackalopes of jack threads welcome back to another episode of ask the Buffalo this is a tech show where you can ask any question that you have from the wide wide world of technology you do for an upgrade on your cell phone contract not sure where to go or if you should switch carriers this is where you can ask it not sure what tablets grace your backpack this is where you can ask on this week's ask the Buffalo we're going to talk about iphone 5 rumors we're going to talk about the next generation ipod touch windows fans don't worry we're going to discuss windows 8 and everything in between from the world of technology this is asked to Buffalo let's good start alright so let's go ahead and jump right in our first question come from user the sequin kid he wants to know hey John I can upgrade in three months should I wait for the next iPhone I should i get an android device from verizon you think the next iphone will have 4G LTE connectivity to you i say yes the next iphone will have 4g LTE connectivity but we're probably not going to see it till april we are on the precipice of new phones we see android phones release all the time but generally the specs for the same dual core dual cool dual core now we're starting to see dual core HD screen dual core HD screen but we are finally getting ready to see a jump to quad-core us this is a great time to wait just a little bit for quad core phones to come to verizon and we're hearing that they will be coming in the coming months they will be here in the coming months it's a more eloquent way to say it however if you feel like you've got to jump in and get a new phone because you need something shiny to play with definitely if you're gonna stick with verizon go for the galaxy nexus or if battery super important to you obviously the droid razr maxx a lot of fuss has been made about carriers and manufacturers not pushing updates to folks devices I what I want to say to those and them speaking particularly about Android users when you buy a phone assume that you're not getting any updates make sure you happy with the phone the day you buy it because it really is no guarantee that you're going to get the next version of android or get in any sort of timely fashion incremental updates to Android certainly wonderful but they're not going to come to every single phone every single screen size every single resolution on every single carrier make sure you are happy from day one with your phone assume that you could live with that phone as is for two years and if your answer is yes sure can be very happy with your purchase alright so our next question comes from costes villalopolis I'm sorry that I'm as a courage name he simply asked hey John what's your opinion on Windows 8 for tablets I am a huge proponent of Windows 8 for tablets I've tried windows 8 for tablets and it works really well it's essentially a metro UI skin sitting on top of it looks like a window so an interface if you're careful and you do it just right you never have to see that windows seven interface and you get what amounts to a giant windows phone 7 with desktop quality apps that's really the big thing here desktop quality apps people have been talking a lot about post-pc era this brings all the capabilities of a regular pc so what you get on you know your home desktop or laptop to a tablet without really any limitations so I'm very very excited about Windows 8 coming hopefully sometime in octoberish going from one hard name to pronounce to the next and user Henry saga naseeb wants to talk iPod Touch do you think the next generation ipod touch will have Siri the very least voice dictation yes I think most definitely it will have voice dictation surprisingly we didn't see full-blown Siri make its way on the new iPad I just avoid this voice dictation ordinarily I'd say series a no brainer but seeing what Apple did with the new iPad I don't know it's a very least you'll absolutely see voice dictation on it hopefully that helped answer your questions and now is the time to show when I get a chance to say thank you and tell you about some

next question comes from a name I can pronounce the dude Sarah wants to know which phony should get on AT&T he's asking i'm starting a new contract with AT&T and i'm torn between the galaxies notes and the iphone 4s in your opinion which is a better choice for a two-year contract and why this is a battle right here we got android we got iOS battling head-to-head if I to pick one phone to use for two years I would pick the Galaxy Note primarily due to LTE connectivity I love that giant screen on the galaxy note I like having the option for the s-pen I just really enjoyed using the whole phone as a hold it's a great package the iphone 4s is a wonderful phone as well it's got a great operating system I'm not the biggest fan of that now seemingly small screen size but you have iOS or you live in the apple ecosystem is a great phone the lack of 4G LTE connectivity is definitely a big deal for me so flee that helped answer your question so our last question comes from user Josh who wants to know hey John I was wondering when we're going to see a technobuffalo iphone or android app i'll tell you a secret as long as you guys promise to keep it between us we're working on applications but first before we launch your applications working on a total site redesign what you're hoping is going to look not only awesome but also badass so it's got to match those two things we're working we're targeting sometime before the end of the year to launch that and applications shortly actress hopefully that helped answer your question Josh I hope you guys enjoyed this episode of ask the Buffalo we
