1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,733
Speaker 1: from News Talks at be.

3
00:00:12,893 --> 00:00:17,333
Speaker 2: Google's Pixel three watch has just been released, and of

4
00:00:17,373 --> 00:00:20,533
Speaker 2: all the new bits of technology and gadget tree to

5
00:00:20,573 --> 00:00:23,133
Speaker 2: hit the market, this one has a very interesting feature,

6
00:00:23,373 --> 00:00:26,733
Speaker 2: a life saving feature. Our texpert postin house is here

7
00:00:26,733 --> 00:00:28,613
Speaker 2: with the details. Hey, Paul, tell us about it.

8
00:00:29,333 --> 00:00:32,413
Speaker 3: Good morning. I love when there's some like technology for good. Yeah.

9
00:00:32,453 --> 00:00:35,853
Speaker 3: We make all these advances and sometimes, you know, the

10
00:00:35,893 --> 00:00:38,813
Speaker 3: AI stuff we talk about might end up maybe taking

11
00:00:38,853 --> 00:00:40,573
Speaker 3: some jobs and not doing some good things. So I

12
00:00:40,613 --> 00:00:44,533
Speaker 3: saw this and thought this is nice. Okay, and here

13
00:00:44,573 --> 00:00:47,773
Speaker 3: we're about to change the tune. Imagine you're by yourself

14
00:00:47,813 --> 00:00:51,293
Speaker 3: and you have a heart attack. Yeah, great, great setup, right,

15
00:00:51,373 --> 00:00:54,453
Speaker 3: but it's never would be a very scary time. And

16
00:00:54,493 --> 00:00:57,813
Speaker 3: if you think about it, the chance of someone finding

17
00:00:57,853 --> 00:01:01,373
Speaker 3: you in time to give you potentially life saving resuscitation

18
00:01:02,133 --> 00:01:05,893
Speaker 3: is probably very close to nel. And that's where there's

19
00:01:05,933 --> 00:01:08,933
Speaker 3: a new feature on this watch that will detect a

20
00:01:08,973 --> 00:01:10,293
Speaker 3: loss of pulse as.

21
00:01:10,133 --> 00:01:12,253
Speaker 2: They're calling it rhich, could.

22
00:01:12,053 --> 00:01:13,973
Speaker 3: Be caused by heart attack or could be caused by

23
00:01:14,333 --> 00:01:16,693
Speaker 3: any number of things, and it uses all of the

24
00:01:16,733 --> 00:01:19,533
Speaker 3: senses inside the watch and actually also uses some AI

25
00:01:20,253 --> 00:01:22,453
Speaker 3: to figure out where or not they need to get

26
00:01:22,493 --> 00:01:26,013
Speaker 3: emergency services to you. So first of all, right, your watch,

27
00:01:26,213 --> 00:01:28,773
Speaker 3: it has its regular heart rate sensor. It detects maybe

28
00:01:28,853 --> 00:01:30,733
Speaker 3: something might be a miss. We can't find a pulse,

29
00:01:31,053 --> 00:01:33,053
Speaker 3: So then it fires up a whole range of other

30
00:01:33,253 --> 00:01:38,653
Speaker 3: senses and they are sort of more sophisticated infrared senses,

31
00:01:39,093 --> 00:01:42,373
Speaker 3: but also motion sensors too, basically to work out if

32
00:01:42,413 --> 00:01:45,933
Speaker 3: you're moving and if you need help. If it decides

33
00:01:45,973 --> 00:01:49,013
Speaker 3: that you do it then sign it basically sounds an

34
00:01:49,053 --> 00:01:51,573
Speaker 3: alarm to try to maybe wake you up and to

35
00:01:51,613 --> 00:01:54,453
Speaker 3: see if it can then detect any other form of movement,

36
00:01:54,773 --> 00:01:57,493
Speaker 3: and if not, it will then call emergency services for

37
00:01:57,533 --> 00:02:00,973
Speaker 3: you on your behalf and send your location. Which I

38
00:02:01,093 --> 00:02:03,853
Speaker 3: just thought this is such a nice feature. Yeah, I

39
00:02:03,893 --> 00:02:06,413
Speaker 3: think of like the St. John alarms, right, Like you

40
00:02:06,453 --> 00:02:08,613
Speaker 3: still need to be able to actually push the button

41
00:02:08,653 --> 00:02:12,053
Speaker 3: for help. This actually removes the pushing the button aspect.

42
00:02:12,373 --> 00:02:15,453
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this sounds really cooler and principle is it?

43
00:02:15,453 --> 00:02:16,973
Speaker 2: Do you know if it's gonna work in New Zealand?

44
00:02:17,653 --> 00:02:18,093
Speaker 2: Can they do?

45
00:02:18,253 --> 00:02:18,733
Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah?

46
00:02:18,853 --> 00:02:21,693
Speaker 3: Right, this was my one hesitation, but when we talk

47
00:02:21,693 --> 00:02:24,173
Speaker 3: about it, cool technology that they need to go through

48
00:02:24,173 --> 00:02:26,973
Speaker 3: these regulatory hurdles. And there's a bunch of countries in

49
00:02:26,973 --> 00:02:29,573
Speaker 3: the EU. Not quite in New Zealand just yet. But

50
00:02:29,693 --> 00:02:31,693
Speaker 3: I mean that's to me. Hey, if there was a

51
00:02:31,733 --> 00:02:34,093
Speaker 3: reason to buy a Google pixel Watch, to me, that's

52
00:02:34,093 --> 00:02:35,013
Speaker 3: at the top of my list.

53
00:02:35,053 --> 00:02:38,493
Speaker 2: Yeah, the great feature, Yeah, it sounds very cool. Okay. Hey, Fortnite,

54
00:02:38,533 --> 00:02:43,733
Speaker 2: the incredibly popular game, is back on Apple's iOS store.

55
00:02:45,013 --> 00:02:47,253
Speaker 3: Yes, and not just in New Zealand yet either. Are

56
00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:48,653
Speaker 3: some of the parts of the world that seem to

57
00:02:48,693 --> 00:02:52,253
Speaker 3: have less regulatory hurdles or are more favorable than others,

58
00:02:52,533 --> 00:02:54,413
Speaker 3: and the EU is one of those. They passed their

59
00:02:54,413 --> 00:02:58,493
Speaker 3: Digital markets at which basically forced Apple to give app

60
00:02:58,533 --> 00:03:01,893
Speaker 3: developers a way to sell their software on iPhones and

61
00:03:01,973 --> 00:03:05,493
Speaker 3: iPads without needing to go through the official Apple Store.

62
00:03:05,533 --> 00:03:09,133
Speaker 3: Why is that important? Well, Apple charges developers up to

63
00:03:09,413 --> 00:03:13,693
Speaker 3: thirty percent of their revenue for the privilege of being

64
00:03:13,733 --> 00:03:14,373
Speaker 3: in that store.

65
00:03:14,493 --> 00:03:15,573
Speaker 2: That's crazy, love it.

66
00:03:15,613 --> 00:03:20,253
Speaker 3: Why because it earns them almost seventy million, sorry seventy million.

67
00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:24,853
Speaker 3: That'd be nice, seventy billion dollars in revenue. So this

68
00:03:24,893 --> 00:03:28,213
Speaker 3: is something they obviously wanted to fight and Epoch has

69
00:03:28,253 --> 00:03:31,213
Speaker 3: been honestly, they've been the ones who have been really

70
00:03:31,253 --> 00:03:34,773
Speaker 3: pushing this forward. And so the Epic Game Store has

71
00:03:34,853 --> 00:03:37,293
Speaker 3: launched in the EU and people can go on there

72
00:03:37,613 --> 00:03:39,933
Speaker 3: and they can download Fortnite for the first time in

73
00:03:40,013 --> 00:03:43,093
Speaker 3: four years on the iOS devices. But Apple has not

74
00:03:43,173 --> 00:03:45,573
Speaker 3: made it easy. Jack. There are a ton of warning

75
00:03:45,653 --> 00:03:48,853
Speaker 3: screens to get through settings you have to update. Of course,

76
00:03:48,853 --> 00:03:51,453
Speaker 3: Epic says that that's very intentional by Apple to make

77
00:03:51,493 --> 00:03:55,173
Speaker 3: the process basically as terrible as possible. But Apple has

78
00:03:55,213 --> 00:03:58,173
Speaker 3: done one slight sneaky They've launched a new fee for

79
00:03:58,253 --> 00:04:01,693
Speaker 3: these off app stores that are calling a core technology fee,

80
00:04:01,933 --> 00:04:05,053
Speaker 3: basically to try to recoup some of that seventy billion

81
00:04:05,133 --> 00:04:08,333
Speaker 3: dollars that they have at staf right. But this is

82
00:04:08,373 --> 00:04:12,293
Speaker 3: really interesting because this is the first high profile alternative

83
00:04:12,293 --> 00:04:15,213
Speaker 3: app store that's existed, and I think this is going

84
00:04:15,253 --> 00:04:17,053
Speaker 3: to be a real good case study for other brands

85
00:04:17,093 --> 00:04:19,893
Speaker 3: to basically decide whether or not this is an avenue

86
00:04:19,893 --> 00:04:20,653
Speaker 3: they should pursue.

87
00:04:20,853 --> 00:04:22,893
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be fascinating to see how that

88
00:04:22,933 --> 00:04:25,693
Speaker 2: all unfolds. Thank you, Paul. Paul Steerhouse.
