Pocketnow's Weekly iReview - 29May11

[bigsteamfan]

Your wallet is pretty bulky ?!? How much money do you have there, exactly ? :D

[0oBretto0]

I still cant say his name even though he said it two times in the vid! :/

[roseventyfour]

anyone with a 3gs should have an upgrade coming up soon anyway.

[royfckingadams]

and it's also nice to see Samsung standing up to Apple.. unlike the other manufacturers.. however, we'll see how this all turns out down the road.

[royfckingadams]

i love watching all the pocketnow videos.. really.. it's my go to site when i want anything mobile.. and even though Android is the better system.. i dont neglect this segment

but Samsung has a point asking to see the iPhone prototypes.. Apple is claiming to be the inventor to all these technologies when they only make existing tech more user friendly. Apple is scared because the SGS II is above and beyond what a phone is.. and yes.. I've had iPhones in the past so I do know my facts

[OCloutier]

REALLY F*CKING ENJOY! Sadly I can only give it one thumbs up!

[Harvarde09]

curve glass? wtf? CRAP!

[nsaenz805]

He does a great job with the ireview I'm an android fan and he's got me watching

[Nx724]

I love this show, even though I'm an android fan.

[MrFusion97]

u look a bit like david otunga from wwe. :p

[QVide0s]

Now copy Apple the design of the Nexus S

[Android19999]

@QVide0s lol 

[kalatta1]

The only thing that keeps selling iPhone and iPod touch are the apps that you get, not the softweare. I use HD2 with android and i am very pleased with it but sometimes I just want to play some of the apple games...

[bosshog4ever313]

@kalatta1 Me too... HD2=Greatness =D

[jubbing]

Let's start this week with the cool? Don't we always do that?

[LolFlowable]

does anyone know the game at 2:50

plz

[TheAgressiveGamer]

@LolFlowable N.O.V.A.

[MatchedANDY]

ios 5 so ground breaking ?? even if it has widgets its nothing new

[YoungSimba501]

iOS is so far behind Android it's not even funny. It's amazing how it is both so wildly popular and lacking, at the same time.

[MrLebronjordan]

Apple dont want to release an iphone 4s or iphone 5 because it knows its gonna get ripped by the samsung galaxy s2

[nsaenz805]

Mr Rivera is hecka good at answering ppl ill give him that.

[Gregz0r1]

There's no point in Apple adding NFC when it's far from mainstream. They'll let everyone else iron out the bugs, and come on board when it's a mature system. No point otherwise.

[rishab155]

iPhone 3GS runs iOS 4 as smooth as the iPhone 4 and I think it should get

the iOS 5 update, there is no lack of sufficient or capable hardware ( like the iPhone 3G ).. Dont be so selfish APPLE !

Thumbs up so people can see !

[NJLtalks]

@rishab155 I have to say even iphone4 is considered to be outdated, if iphone 3gs gets an update for the new os, they will probably be very slow of buggy. Apple won't do that to the brand name to be smeared with bad performance.

[rishab155]

@NJLtalks well if you compare it with the dual core processors then yes it is a bit outdated

but the A4 chip is no slouch ... and the iphone 3GS can also handle iOS 5 easily ( its not like iOS 5

is gonna need quad core processors ...) !

[ACDC185]

@rishab155 Well think about it, If the iOS is going to be optimized for the dual core A5 chip and A4 chip which are clocked at 1ghz, What do you think is going to happen on a 600mhz processor with 256 of ram... Its going to be like the iphone 3G and the iOS 4 update all over again! SLOW SLOW SLOW! Although i dont think it was right of apple to continue selling the iphone 3gs if they are going to not support it any more!

[crumcon]

@rishab155 And yet apple probably would not support 3GS with iOS5.. because you know.... old hardware and slow cpu and shit. FUK apple. Google and Android should fuk 'm in the future

[Cursecut3r]

@rishab155 if it uses widgets alot of updates... I dunno

[eramus5614]

Finally some juicy news

[nsaenz805]

Haha wow dude... you just don't like to give android love or does apple pay you or do you just like the fit of that iPhone in your "pocket "?????

[NJLtalks]

@nsaenz805 Although I do think he can be more neutral and give some more compliments to other platforms, I also think he's pretty good at delievering apple new. I mean this is call ireview.

[styx415]

apple is going to release widgets and all the apple fanboys will think its revolutionary and that apple invented widgets *sighh...

[nfxnru]

I really want them to release the damn iPhone! :)

[biggerben2010]

@JamieRevitaTV there is groubdbreaking about the Droid.

[vladu7z80]

i hope they get sued by android for the widgets....

[sonicfreak360]

@vladu7z80 Oh come on, many people use ideas from other people, its only natural!

[Andysbat]

just fuck apple. greedy fucking pigs. talk about a flourishing well developed appstore? give the android market time. with such and open source and soooooo many free apps. time will manifest a new winner. and when you got fat cats taking 30 percent from all the apps? yeah compare that to five. apple just fucks over everything. enjoy being raped by the icock.

[Andysbat]

this is pathetic and hypocritical of apple. really not surprised. innovation my ass. i mean finally they change the boring ass os, but seriously why take this long to copy something when you brag about being first and being at the top of the game. typical propagandistic showboating from apple. i'm sorry i would just feel like a betray myself by giving apple money...and fuck itunes.

[ajayaminpassi]

I love apple and android

I have an iPad and iPod and I have a samsung galaxy s and mite be gettin an android tablet

I think they're are both great but I still think google will eventually grow way bigger than apple due to their already huge success on the web and their open source policy which is letting developers create many more apps

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@BadAssEffects LOL..

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@MegaMnguyen I'll see sales figures to believe..

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@T3chn0Kiid Hey, glad to see you enjoy it.

[nsaenz805]

Is apple going to start fragmentation too? Haha

[MrStephen920]

Congrats on getting widgets Apple, when you get decent multitasking, flash, and some customization other than the background image call me. Oh, don't, either way, Android!

[Pepsi9072]

on the next i review talk about the t-mobile iphone leak

[backlashsid]

Lol...Jaime @ 2:00 you were gonna say 99Cents per year.....lol !!

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@backlashsid LOL.. Yeah! Almost messed up on that 4th take!

[backlashsid]

@JaimeRiveraTV you still havent posted the making of these videos...how bout installing a second camera :P

[eleven38]

99 bux a year wtf what a con!!! apple fails!!

[daak1234]

iphone iPhone IPhone love it but hate apple.!!

[afmrassss]

@jnaldaco Hell yeah :)



[TheItouched]

it sounds like he says Lets fuck this week off with the cool at 0:30

[fiestajinyik]

Android is still much better

[vyperx1]

I don't know so many people like Apple so much, their products are overrated and overpriced... WIndows Phone 7 and Android are both better than iOS. Apple sucks

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@vyperx1 You've clearly never owned an Apple product to know the difference.

[vyperx1]

@JaimeRiveraTV LOL? I own an iPhone 3GS, and I used to have a MacBook Pro... Don't say you know when you dont know shit

[leflore1886]

That Nexus S shot looks like a feminine product.

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@leflore1886 Lol.. Brandon took that shot.

[italkuenjoy]

"not really sure what to make of it"

sentence used in every iReview...not a bad thing, just an observation

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@italkuenjoy Thanks! Sadly not much you can say about a rumor..

[DiogoBailao]

Apple is a disaster...

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@DiogoBailao LOL... yeah right..

[macbookpro57]

could you do an office/desk tour please =)

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@macbookpro57 Sure.. I'll have one live in the next couple of weeks.

[macbookpro57]

@JaimeRiveraTV yay, I can't wait =)

[doitdeviant]

@slantblant Awesome. I glad we agree on the timing thing. I never assumed Apple (or Google) would win this NFC thing, but I guess time will tell. Thanks man :)

[ModNet2001]

thumbs up for not cool ... woohooo 

[SickTechShow]

Once again, great video!

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@SickTechShow Thanks!

[doitdeviant]

@slantblant I disagree. Throughout history there have been 'talks' about things (even fictional things) that manifest at a later time. Timing is everything; whether it is for technology to improve, popularity to become widespread, or what have you. I stick with what I said before.

[guru0011]

HAAAAAAAIME RIVIERAAAAAAAAA Gents!

[CrisRowlands]

I wish my wallet was bulky :(

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@CrisRowlands lol.. 

[lilmario0]

apple apple apple apple apple apple O_O!!!!

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@lilmario0 Yeah!

[saquibs20]

I HATE APPLE....GREEDY PIGS...TRY SUEING ME....I'LL WOOP UR ASS.

[macbookpro57]

@saquibs20 i'm sure you will

[mishobg07]

Not really sure what to make of it....

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@mishobg07 Yeah Not sure what to expect.. LMAO..

[AmpsNL]

I really hope Apple will add widgets to their OS. As an iPod Touch user, I could live without widgets. But I think widgets are a must on phones.

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@AmpsNL True..

[tabby051]

Woo go Samsung, about time Apple had a taste of their own medicine

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@tabby051 Yeah..

[achronicles]

bulky wallet hu? PocketNow must be paying well.

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@achronicles LOL.. 

[doitdeviant]

Everything's about timing. Apple has been talking about NFC tech long before Google (I love Google btw). You can read articles about it online, just Google it :)

[NJLtalks]

@doitdeviant I don't know, google has been very innovative in its short life and google does not "show off" as much as apple does. This showmanship is why many pretentious douchebags love apple.

[doitdeviant]

@NJLtalks Agreed (minus the negative statement you made at the end).

[NJLtalks]

@doitdeviant we learn to disagree and that makes the world go smooth-er ;)

[doitdeviant]

@NJLtalks I don't find this relevant to the discussion.

[NJLtalks]

@doitdeviant I was expressing a common phrase that people say when they agree to disagree on something rather than trying to convince others to change their minds.

[doitdeviant]

@NJLtalks Interesting. Cool. I never heard that phrase before. Good to know. :)

[NJLtalks]

@doitdeviant actually the phrase is agree to disagree but you get the idea :)

[doitdeviant]

Can't wait for iOS 5.0

Apple, Android, and WP7 FTW

[jacobpenner1923]

@doitdeviant I agree with you, minus the WP7

[doitdeviant]

@jacobpenner1923 WP7 with the Mango update seems pretty good, which is the only reason I'm adding it.  True about Apple and Android leading the way (Android is doing an amazing job btw).

[NJLtalks]

@jacobpenner1923 I would like to reminds you that windows phone 7 is not even a year old. + I am sure that WP7 will be a very successful platform with in 2 years due to all that money MS has.

[jacobpenner1923]

@NJLtalks I don't doubt that windows will have a successful platform in the future because of its wealth, but I don't see it in the near future. Android and iOS have way to much market share and great apps right now. I actually like the look of WP7, but won't get one over an iPhone 4 or android any time soon mainly because there are just so many more great apps on iOS and android.

[NJLtalks]

@jacobpenner1923 WP7 has over 50,000 apps less than a year. It calculates to be over a hundred apps per day. Granted WP7 had an advantage of jumping in to the game late while the whole mobile system was set up, but that is still very interesting. The first ever android phone, G1 by Tmobile, was launched late 2008. Within 3 years, it became what it is but MS is has so much resources than google. I believe good ol' greedy MS to make it happen. :)

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@NJLtalks Please dude.. potential is one thing. Reality is one very different thing. I'll believe it when I see it come from WP7. I like the Mango update, but I despise their timeliness in letting competition eat their pie.

[NJLtalks]

@JaimeRiveraTV I would like to say being late gives you an advantage of knowing what the consumers expect from the os. + WM once dominated the smartphones until iphone changed the meaning of smartphone to application-phone and dumbed down the smartphones for not so smart people. I admit the Mango update isn't anything revolutionary but it brings WP7 upto almost the same level as android or iphone in terms of functionalities. + WP7 phones are launched in 4 major carriers, I'm convinced.

[v123bah]

wait wait wait........ what did he sy his name was? i didnt catch tht

[yakuzahi]

@v123bah Jaime Rivera, In spanish The J sound like A

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@v123bah Use the rewind button.. LOL..

[Charlesb1]

Android FTW

[nsaenz805]

I really liked this video... sounds like apple wants to do android

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@nsaenz805 Thanks.. and I don't think they'd go for that step back.

[nsaenz805]

I guess it would be really cool if apple did start doing android too. Maybe apple just wanted ideas from Samsung on how to. Haha

[nsaenz805]

Haha yeah copy android and and call it innovation and groundbreaking. Yeah its also lame how the galaxy s is always shown with the app drawer open...

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@nsaenz805 There's nothing groundbreaking about Android..

[Gurksallad10]

If Apple get widgets they can never sue anyone for copying their OS...

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@Gurksallad10 right.. lol.. 

[EricGrain]

You said you would talk about the Samsung Apple thing in the not so cool section to? :S

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@EricGrain I actually pulled it earlier. 

[paul13nov]

i love how the side by side pic of iphone and galaxy always has the galaxy s app drawer, not it's home screen.. like ever

btw apple, that a very nice A4 chip you have there, would be a shame if anything were to happen to it... ssssssssssss

[ChunkeeChunks]

@paul13nov A5 now

[paul13nov]

@ChunkeeChunks yep, and A5, apple fail much, shooting themselves in the foot

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@paul13nov LOL.. remember it's an Apple design. And I'd also recommend you have a look at ARM in Wikipedia as a company. Just so you know, Apple partly owns or owned it at some time. All current smartphones use that architecture..

[Muamarz]

not sure if the iOS 5 is going to be groundbreaking but its definitely something quite exciting to anticipate.

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@Muamarz True.. we'll see.. 

[jordycel]

Apple is going to use Android for the iPhone 5 :p Pretty lame that they sue Samsung for copying and then copy the noitifications and widgets from Android. How's that for the "not so cool" section...

[iAnas65]

@jordycel ok then microsoft should sue google because they copied widgets from them

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@iAnas65 Google Actually pays Microsoft royalties. I don't remember over what though..

[jordycel]

@iAnas65 it's not about having widgets or not, it's about being hypocrit...

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@jordycel Boy would I love to see Android on my iPhone 4..

[rahulforeian]

this video was cool and uncool iphone RUMORS!

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@rahulforeian LOL.. true.. lots of rumors ahead of all events.

[QuietSundayLibrary]

@pocketnowvideo What tracks are used to augment this production, if I may ask? Thank you.

[shoelace510]

Only 500,000 apps sold? Huh... seems pretty low imo

[ThaMaikel13]

@shoelace510 500.000 apps that are being sold in the app store. They're selling 500.000 apps. You have to listen better sir :p. They have way more sold, I believe like 10 billion or something.

[Scarybobbob]

@shoelace510 lol dude they surpassed 10 billion sold in January, they now have over 500,000 apps in the appstore.

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@shoelace510 LOW? I don't think Windows has this many applications..

[the1mancam]

apple doesn't support anything, just a "cool device". I personally think they are lagging behind.

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@the1mancam Well.. I'm always of the mentality that less is always more. They've proven me right there..

[TechTigerTV]

Good video, I like how you edit it and you are very well spoken. I'm inspired by you to step my game up :)

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@TechTigerTV Hey thanks! Well, it's a chore of around 10 minutes, lots of tongue twisters, lots of digging for video content to include and patience while editing to get it right. I do recommend you give it a try though, It's fun once you get the hang of it.

[Tillyz08]

if i see another black turtle neck i will kill someone

[jakeroot2]

@Tillyz08 Get your gun ready.

[Tillyz08]

@jakeroot2 i will



[JaimeRiveraTV]

@Tillyz08 LMAO.. I'll keep my phone set to 911 then.

[vaibu21]

i love how you called "Samsung", "Sammy"

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@vaibu21 LOL.. I hate the Samsung name.. love their phone's though.

[vaibu21]

@JaimeRiveraTV i love both samsung and apple... still love this competition :D

[yourilohuis]

First to comment, last to get laid.

[SxeD4ve]

@yourilohuis better last than not at all^^

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@yourilohuis LMFAO!!!!!

[SimX9000]

awesome! Android hopefully coming really soon?? I don't even like ios

[MegaTechnopro]

@SimX9000 why are u on the ireview than

[SimX9000]

@MegaTechnopro It's still well put together and good information. Even if I don't like ios it's still something I should keep up on.

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@SimX9000 Hey, glad you like the show.

[JaimeRiveraTV]

@SimX9000 Hey, Dan's got a really cool weekly show. I recommend you have a look.

[SimX9000]

@JaimeRiveraTV You mean the android application weekly? Yea I like those vids a lot 2, find a lot of cool apps that way but would be nice to have a show about android. Always lots going on in the android world as well. HTC announcing unlocked bootloaders is pretty huge also google wallet is coming out. Lots to talk about!

[SimX9000]

@JaimeRiveraTV I bet you would have an easier time digging up android news that apple news and putting a show together, try it!

[n00byn4t3r]

Lol fail @ people trying to be first!

[MrMypsp]
