[1075.92 --> 1082.92] I'm really excited to see what comes from both of them and I will definitely get my hands on them at my soonest possible opportunity.
[1082.92 --> 1092.92] One thing I don't like about the Moto 360, which I guess let's get into now, is that they seem to be using just kind of a traditional LCD based screen.
[1092.92 --> 1101.92] And for me, with a phone, I can almost, like here, here, this is actually great.
[1101.92 --> 1104.92] Because I have my phone plugged into a battery bank right now.
[1104.92 --> 1105.92] Because it died when I tried to call them.
[1105.92 --> 1106.92] Right.
[1106.92 --> 1111.92] With a phone, I can kind of accept one day battery.
[1111.92 --> 1117.92] Because it's something that I already, like, I don't know, like I already accept it.
[1117.92 --> 1119.92] Even though I don't know if I should.
[1119.92 --> 1125.92] Like our new guy, Taren, was using some ancient, hey Taren, do you have your phone here?
[1125.92 --> 1126.92] Your old one?
[1126.92 --> 1127.92] Yeah, I do.
[1127.92 --> 1128.92] Yeah, he does.
[1128.92 --> 1129.92] Does he?
[1129.92 --> 1130.92] Yeah.
[1130.92 --> 1131.92] Taren!
[1131.92 --> 1133.92] Do you have your old phone here?
[1133.92 --> 1134.92] Yeah, I do.
[1134.92 --> 1135.92] Can I borrow it?
[1135.92 --> 1136.92] You guys are going to love this.
[1136.92 --> 1141.92] So he's got an old phone that he figures gets about a month of battery life.
[1141.92 --> 1144.92] But I saw this thing and I was like, dude, you've got to get with the time.
[1144.92 --> 1146.92] So I was just like, here's a One Mini.
[1146.92 --> 1150.92] I know it's not the greatest phone in the world, but jeez, man.
[1150.92 --> 1153.92] When I first saw it, I thought it was a Blackberry.
[1153.92 --> 1156.92] Yeah, if a Blackberry was made by, like, Fisher-Price.
[1156.92 --> 1160.92] So this is, this is like, look at the screen size!
[1160.92 --> 1162.92] It actually doesn't even weigh anything either.
[1162.92 --> 1163.92] It does have a keyboard on it.
[1163.92 --> 1164.92] Wait, let's compare the screen size to my thumb.
[1164.92 --> 1165.92] Yeah, here.
[1165.92 --> 1166.92] See?
[1166.92 --> 1168.92] Thank you.
[1168.92 --> 1173.92] So we can make fun of it because we gave him something else.
[1173.92 --> 1178.92] But one of the things he complained about immediately switching to a modern smartphone
[1178.92 --> 1180.92] is that, hey, the battery life sucks on this thing.
[1180.92 --> 1182.92] I have to charge it every day.
[1182.92 --> 1185.92] And I have been doing it for so long that I've kind of forgotten.
[1185.92 --> 1191.92] But with watches, we're not talking about going from a week of battery on my old Nokia brick phone
[1191.92 --> 1194.92] versus like a day or a couple days of battery at best on a smartphone.
[1194.92 --> 1203.92] We're talking about going from months long batteries or even like solar powered to like a day on the gear.
[1203.92 --> 1204.92] No, no, no.
[1204.92 --> 1206.92] So we need to see Mirasol displays.
[1206.92 --> 1208.92] We need to see advances in that technology.
[1208.92 --> 1215.92] We need to see whatever it takes to keep them low power enough to run for at least four to five days would be my benchmark.
[1215.92 --> 1219.92] If I can remember to charge it a couple times a week, then I'm okay with that.
[1219.92 --> 1228.92] I found when I was testing G2 that it had like actually a pretty acceptable amount because you could go with pretty heavy use for two days and be totally fine.
[1228.92 --> 1232.92] And that was pretty good because if you forgot one night, you probably wouldn't forget the next.
[1232.92 --> 1234.92] So that was okay when I was testing it.
[1234.92 --> 1237.92] So right now we don't have too many details about the 360.
[1237.92 --> 1239.92] It's going to launch in the summer.
[1239.92 --> 1242.92] They aren't mentioning any specs whatsoever.
[1242.92 --> 1246.92] And I think that's going to be a common theme with smart watches.
[1246.92 --> 1250.92] Samsung did release some of the specifications of the gear.
[1250.92 --> 1252.92] So they were like, yeah, we're using kind of this processor.
[1252.92 --> 1253.92] We're using a cut down Android.
[1253.92 --> 1254.92] We're doing this.
[1254.92 --> 1255.92] We're doing that.
[1255.92 --> 1257.92] But you look at what Qualcomm did with the talk.
[1257.92 --> 1258.92] They didn't give us any specs.
[1258.92 --> 1263.92] I don't think anyone really, I don't think Kevill talks about what they're using in their watches at all.
[1263.92 --> 1270.92] I think for these kinds of devices, the space race, the gigahertz race is going to be pretty much over.
[1270.92 --> 1272.92] And I'm okay with that.
[1272.92 --> 1278.92] And I had someone criticize me pretty harshly on my talk review when I said, I don't know what's in here and I don't care.
[1278.92 --> 1280.92] They said, well, you're a tech head.
[1280.92 --> 1281.92] You're supposed to care.
[1281.92 --> 1290.92] But the reality of it is that beyond the display and the aesthetic and the software of something like a smartwatch, why would I care?
[1290.92 --> 1291.92] I don't care.
[1291.92 --> 1293.92] All the processing is done here.
[1293.92 --> 1295.92] All the connectivity besides like...
[1295.92 --> 1297.92] And hopefully that will happen even more.
[1297.92 --> 1298.92] That's right.
[1298.92 --> 1303.92] We've talked about this in the past where we were talking about having a more centralized compute and then your other things just connecting to it.
[1303.92 --> 1307.92] So hopefully that will matter even less than it does now.
[1307.92 --> 1313.92] If anything, the smartwatch should be as dumb as possible so that we can extend its battery life.
[1313.92 --> 1315.92] Because that'll be a better overall experience.
[1315.92 --> 1333.92] If you can, you know, have your wireless ear pods and your smartwatch and all this stuff that just uses super low power connectivity to have something else do all the work and act as a hub, then that's going to deliver a much better experience for people who actually need to like gear all this st...
[1333.92 --> 1334.92] Yeah.
[1334.92 --> 1336.92] So it'll probably feature wireless charging.
[1336.92 --> 1339.92] We'll launch first in the US, but we'll find a way to get our hands on it.
[1339.92 --> 1342.92] No camera on board.
[1342.92 --> 1346.92] There are some pictures and renders on the Daily Tech article here.
[1346.92 --> 1347.92] It looks really nice.
[1347.92 --> 1348.92] So I'm just going to pop that out.
[1348.92 --> 1350.92] It looks absolutely beautiful, doesn't it?
[1350.92 --> 1351.92] Yeah.
[1351.92 --> 1352.92] There you go.
[1352.92 --> 1354.92] And like the classic watch fronts look really good.
[1354.92 --> 1355.92] Yeah.
[1355.92 --> 1357.92] I'm actually pretty stoked for this too.
[1357.92 --> 1359.92] And I haven't been super stoked for too many smartwatches yet.
[1359.92 --> 1366.92] So you'll be able to do all the usual stuff, check your emails, preview your text messages, all that kind of nonsense.
[1366.92 --> 1373.92] But you know, I'm not going to get too hyped about it this time because I got really amped on the Qualcomm talk.
[1373.92 --> 1374.92] Yeah, I remember that.
[1374.92 --> 1375.92] I was like...
[1375.92 --> 1377.92] It did look a lot better.
[1377.92 --> 1379.92] And it's not bad.
[1379.92 --> 1380.92] Yeah.
[1380.92 --> 1381.92] It isn't a bad product.
[1381.92 --> 1384.92] There's just a few things like the cutting the thing.
