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

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:12,973
Speaker 1: from News Talks a't be well.

3
00:00:12,973 --> 00:00:14,813
Speaker 2: It was kind of like a talk show crossed with

4
00:00:14,933 --> 00:00:17,333
Speaker 2: the shopping channel. It was all a bit weird Google

5
00:00:17,373 --> 00:00:20,573
Speaker 2: announcing its big new products. They had Jimmy Fallon, the

6
00:00:20,733 --> 00:00:23,373
Speaker 2: late night host from the US running the show. They

7
00:00:23,413 --> 00:00:25,853
Speaker 2: had some big names, the likes of the Jonas Brothers,

8
00:00:26,293 --> 00:00:29,533
Speaker 2: Stephen Curry, the NBA star, and watching all of the

9
00:00:29,573 --> 00:00:32,893
Speaker 2: products get announced was our Textbert Paul Stenhouse Paul. It

10
00:00:32,933 --> 00:00:35,213
Speaker 2: was a bit of a weird kind of launch, wasn't it.

11
00:00:35,773 --> 00:00:38,413
Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel like maybe the time is up for

12
00:00:38,453 --> 00:00:40,733
Speaker 3: these types of things, you know, yeah, do we really

13
00:00:40,773 --> 00:00:45,293
Speaker 3: need Like especially when you think about pre covid, Apple

14
00:00:45,373 --> 00:00:47,293
Speaker 3: used to have an auditorium. It was like this whole

15
00:00:47,293 --> 00:00:49,893
Speaker 3: big thing. Google often used to have their big conferences

16
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:54,493
Speaker 3: as kind of festivals outside, and then COVID happened and

17
00:00:54,613 --> 00:00:57,293
Speaker 3: all kind of went pre recorded, and this was just

18
00:00:57,333 --> 00:00:58,853
Speaker 3: like it had a studio audience.

19
00:00:58,933 --> 00:01:04,653
Speaker 2: And I think too that the technology isn't like massage different. Yeah, yeah,

20
00:01:04,693 --> 00:01:07,613
Speaker 2: it's kind of just like little yeah.

21
00:01:07,653 --> 00:01:10,613
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know when you think of the first iPad

22
00:01:10,733 --> 00:01:12,733
Speaker 3: or iPhone, it's like, let's explain what it can do

23
00:01:12,773 --> 00:01:14,933
Speaker 3: and actually show you when people were wild and yes,

24
00:01:15,093 --> 00:01:17,813
Speaker 3: hearing the crowd with something awesome. It's like we've got

25
00:01:17,893 --> 00:01:21,213
Speaker 3: another megapixel added to the camera, Like do your clap?

26
00:01:21,293 --> 00:01:24,133
Speaker 3: Do you not? I don't know, but look, AI was

27
00:01:24,133 --> 00:01:30,053
Speaker 3: everywhere at this big Google thing. Gemini is Google's AI model,

28
00:01:30,493 --> 00:01:33,533
Speaker 3: and Gemini Live is going to when you use the

29
00:01:33,573 --> 00:01:35,813
Speaker 3: audio feature when you talk to it, it will now

30
00:01:35,813 --> 00:01:38,733
Speaker 3: be able to detect if you're excited or concerned. Hopefully

31
00:01:38,773 --> 00:01:41,373
Speaker 3: it also knows some things about sarcasm too, which will

32
00:01:41,413 --> 00:01:43,693
Speaker 3: maybe give it some more context when it's trying to

33
00:01:43,693 --> 00:01:47,613
Speaker 3: give you a response. Their new pixel phone Jack, the

34
00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:50,893
Speaker 3: camera app is going to have a photo coach built

35
00:01:50,933 --> 00:01:54,053
Speaker 3: in to help you with composition. People in my life

36
00:01:54,053 --> 00:01:58,653
Speaker 3: who I think could probably use that tool, and like

37
00:01:58,893 --> 00:02:01,613
Speaker 3: really still trying to make all of these AI magic

38
00:02:01,733 --> 00:02:04,613
Speaker 3: suggestions and things more contextual. They don't want you having

39
00:02:04,613 --> 00:02:08,013
Speaker 3: to hunt and go searching. Search is old, right, Yeah,

40
00:02:08,413 --> 00:02:10,173
Speaker 3: So if you're at the airport, can it pull up

41
00:02:10,213 --> 00:02:12,493
Speaker 3: your boarding pass on your lock screen? If you're in

42
00:02:12,533 --> 00:02:14,853
Speaker 3: the car and it thinks you're headed to your next appointment,

43
00:02:14,893 --> 00:02:18,653
Speaker 3: can it give you the directions automatically? These kinds of things.

44
00:02:18,693 --> 00:02:21,013
Speaker 3: But I just need to say, if you haven't seen

45
00:02:21,173 --> 00:02:25,293
Speaker 3: the Google pixel fold, you've got to see this phone,

46
00:02:25,493 --> 00:02:27,053
Speaker 3: Like Apple, what are you doing? Like?

47
00:02:27,173 --> 00:02:27,733
Speaker 1: Where are you?

48
00:02:27,853 --> 00:02:29,853
Speaker 3: What plane do you want? This phone is like an

49
00:02:29,933 --> 00:02:32,253
Speaker 3: iPhone with a screen on the front, and then you

50
00:02:32,293 --> 00:02:35,333
Speaker 3: can literally open it like a book and inside is

51
00:02:35,373 --> 00:02:39,253
Speaker 3: another screen that's almost a big square. It's cool, and

52
00:02:39,533 --> 00:02:42,773
Speaker 3: my gosh, it's expensive jackets almost I think, eighteen hundred

53
00:02:42,853 --> 00:02:45,693
Speaker 3: US dollars. Cool but cool.

54
00:02:46,213 --> 00:02:48,693
Speaker 2: I mean, why do you need it? What's the point

55
00:02:48,733 --> 00:02:50,133
Speaker 2: in having a bigger screen?

56
00:02:50,933 --> 00:02:53,293
Speaker 3: They mean, they say, so you can, you know, watch Netflix,

57
00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:55,173
Speaker 3: or you can have two apps open side by side

58
00:02:55,253 --> 00:02:58,653
Speaker 3: on your screen. I will say. The funny feature is

59
00:02:58,773 --> 00:03:01,493
Speaker 3: you can have it open like a book. Yeah, but

60
00:03:01,533 --> 00:03:03,293
Speaker 3: almost like a stand. Think of it right in the

61
00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:05,093
Speaker 3: back of the rock and then the thing coming up

62
00:03:05,253 --> 00:03:06,893
Speaker 3: and then you can use the front face and camera

63
00:03:07,013 --> 00:03:09,853
Speaker 3: so you can then use it almost like a eighteen

64
00:03:09,933 --> 00:03:12,293
Speaker 3: hundred dollars for a phone that has a built in stand.

65
00:03:12,293 --> 00:03:14,853
Speaker 2: Because I've got a friend who maybe it's just because

66
00:03:14,853 --> 00:03:17,693
Speaker 2: I'm used to just having a normal shaped smartphone, but

67
00:03:17,693 --> 00:03:19,373
Speaker 2: I've got a friend who's got a folding one and

68
00:03:19,493 --> 00:03:22,773
Speaker 2: it like I got over the novelty very quickly after

69
00:03:22,773 --> 00:03:25,653
Speaker 2: a while. It just kind of looked weird and slightly ungainly,

70
00:03:25,773 --> 00:03:28,053
Speaker 2: you know, because because so much of the stuff that

71
00:03:28,093 --> 00:03:31,053
Speaker 2: we use isn't set for that square interface. It's set

72
00:03:31,093 --> 00:03:33,933
Speaker 2: for it's set for the oblong and so correct.

73
00:03:34,013 --> 00:03:34,293
Speaker 1: Yeah.

74
00:03:34,893 --> 00:03:37,533
Speaker 3: I don't know, baby, this one's different because I don't

75
00:03:37,533 --> 00:03:39,333
Speaker 3: know if your friends one has the screen on both

76
00:03:39,373 --> 00:03:42,333
Speaker 3: the apps inside. Yeah, so you can actually just use

77
00:03:42,373 --> 00:03:43,693
Speaker 3: it like a normal phone and then when you want

78
00:03:43,733 --> 00:03:44,853
Speaker 3: to watch Netflix or you.

79
00:03:44,773 --> 00:03:46,213
Speaker 2: Can open it up until the big version.

80
00:03:46,533 --> 00:03:46,693
Speaker 3: Yeah.

81
00:03:46,773 --> 00:03:48,533
Speaker 2: And it only costs you, you know, three and a

82
00:03:48,613 --> 00:03:49,893
Speaker 2: half thousand New Zealand dollars.

83
00:03:49,973 --> 00:03:50,533
Speaker 1: What a steal.

84
00:03:52,573 --> 00:03:54,653
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you so much, Paul, appreciate your time. That's

85
00:03:54,653 --> 00:03:57,013
Speaker 2: our textbot, Paul's stenhouse here. It was Google's turn. I

86
00:03:57,053 --> 00:03:58,413
Speaker 2: think it's going to be Apple's turn to do the

87
00:03:58,413 --> 00:03:59,813
Speaker 2: same thing in a couple of weeks. But I tend

88
00:03:59,853 --> 00:04:02,333
Speaker 2: to agree with Paul. I reckon the days of having

89
00:04:02,373 --> 00:04:06,893
Speaker 2: these big tech bosses dancing on a stage might be

90
00:04:06,973 --> 00:04:10,173
Speaker 2: in the past. I reckon, unless they've got something truly

91
00:04:10,253 --> 00:04:11,773
Speaker 2: innovative and new and exciting.
