Paul, But 7 00:00:26,613 --> 00:00:28,573 Speaker 2: all eyes are on the Galaxy Ring. 8 00:00:29,453 --> 00:00:29,853 Speaker 1: Yeah. 9 00:00:30,093 --> 00:00:32,653 Speaker 3: I actually just really like that. It feels like Samsung 10 00:00:32,813 --> 00:00:36,213 Speaker 3: actually does some innovation, Yeah, because Apple's just kind of 11 00:00:36,253 --> 00:00:38,253 Speaker 3: you know exactly what's going to be there. Yeah, where 12 00:00:38,293 --> 00:00:40,173 Speaker 3: they kind of put They do some interesting things right, 13 00:00:40,253 --> 00:00:43,613 Speaker 3: Like even their folding phone is super cool. Their range 14 00:00:43,613 --> 00:00:47,053 Speaker 3: of lifestyle TVs, the ones for outdoors and the ones 15 00:00:47,093 --> 00:00:49,533 Speaker 3: that look like picture frames, Like they're actually doing some 16 00:00:49,573 --> 00:00:50,053 Speaker 3: cool stuff. 17 00:00:50,173 --> 00:00:50,373 Speaker 2: Yeah. 18 00:00:50,373 --> 00:00:53,253 Speaker 3: The Galaxy Ring is another one that they're doing, and 19 00:00:53,293 --> 00:00:56,493 Speaker 3: it's getting the headlines. They've become the first major brand 20 00:00:56,573 --> 00:01:00,613 Speaker 3: to launch what is effectively a health tracker on your finger. 21 00:01:00,773 --> 00:01:03,653 Speaker 3: So think of your Fitbit back in the day or 22 00:01:03,693 --> 00:01:06,933 Speaker 3: your Apple Watch. This has been shrunk down now to 23 00:01:07,013 --> 00:01:09,573 Speaker 3: a ring and you put it on your finger. It 24 00:01:09,573 --> 00:01:12,613 Speaker 3: comes with an accelerometer, it comes with a heart rate sensor, 25 00:01:13,013 --> 00:01:15,573 Speaker 3: It looks at the temperature, of your skin. It can 26 00:01:15,613 --> 00:01:18,613 Speaker 3: track your sleep, your activity, It does all those kinds 27 00:01:18,653 --> 00:01:20,733 Speaker 3: of things, and it comes in a very stylish gold, 28 00:01:20,773 --> 00:01:25,413 Speaker 3: silver or black jack on a titanium frame. Interesting though 29 00:01:25,453 --> 00:01:27,333 Speaker 3: for this product because it's not like you can just 30 00:01:27,373 --> 00:01:29,493 Speaker 3: go down to the store or maybe you can, I guess, 31 00:01:29,573 --> 00:01:31,493 Speaker 3: and just buy it or buy it as a gift 32 00:01:31,533 --> 00:01:35,053 Speaker 3: because it can't be adjusted. It's a ring. Yeah, so 33 00:01:35,373 --> 00:01:38,773 Speaker 3: there's also a sizing kit, which it's kind of funny 34 00:01:38,773 --> 00:01:42,333 Speaker 3: for this product, and it's going to be an Android 35 00:01:42,413 --> 00:01:45,533 Speaker 3: only product, so the Apple folks they can't get on board. 36 00:01:46,093 --> 00:01:48,053 Speaker 3: And when it's connected to your phone. I really like 37 00:01:48,133 --> 00:01:49,813 Speaker 3: this actually, and this is some of that innovation I 38 00:01:49,813 --> 00:01:51,493 Speaker 3: was talking about that I think is kind of cool 39 00:01:51,813 --> 00:01:54,533 Speaker 3: on your finger that the rings on right and you're 40 00:01:54,533 --> 00:01:57,413 Speaker 3: taking a selfie or you've got someone you know, like 41 00:01:57,493 --> 00:01:59,333 Speaker 3: holding the phone or it's on a stand or something 42 00:01:59,373 --> 00:02:01,333 Speaker 3: and you want to take a picture. You just double 43 00:02:01,373 --> 00:02:03,693 Speaker 3: pinch and it will take the take. 44 00:02:03,533 --> 00:02:06,293 Speaker 2: It again, double pinch. 45 00:02:06,893 --> 00:02:08,933 Speaker 3: So let's imagine that you've got your shot. It's not 46 00:02:09,013 --> 00:02:11,133 Speaker 3: a tripod. You're like, oh, yeah, I think we're gonna 47 00:02:11,173 --> 00:02:13,893 Speaker 3: look great. Yeah, you can be there with everybody and 48 00:02:13,893 --> 00:02:17,133 Speaker 3: then just two with your ah, double pinch. 49 00:02:17,333 --> 00:02:18,013 Speaker 2: That's quite cool. 50 00:02:18,533 --> 00:02:19,253 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's quite cool. 51 00:02:19,293 --> 00:02:21,573 Speaker 3: You comparently can also dismiss an alarm like that too. 52 00:02:22,453 --> 00:02:24,453 Speaker 2: It's probably too too easy. I think part of the 53 00:02:24,533 --> 00:02:26,173 Speaker 2: key of having an alarm is that you've got to 54 00:02:26,173 --> 00:02:27,413 Speaker 2: make it tricky to turn off. Don't you. 55 00:02:28,893 --> 00:02:33,173 Speaker 3: Seen there's videos where they have the alarm that has wheels. 56 00:02:32,813 --> 00:02:34,893 Speaker 2: Or yeah, that runs off around the bedroom. You've got 57 00:02:34,933 --> 00:02:37,693 Speaker 2: to chase it. Yeah. I feel like my wife could 58 00:02:37,693 --> 00:02:39,693 Speaker 2: do with one of those from time to time. Maybe 59 00:02:39,693 --> 00:02:41,893 Speaker 2: that I am that version, I am that alarm for 60 00:02:41,933 --> 00:02:44,573 Speaker 2: her running off around the room. Yeah, okay, that sounds 61 00:02:44,613 --> 00:02:46,853 Speaker 2: that sounds quite intriguing. Here's the thing though, when it 62 00:02:46,893 --> 00:02:50,013 Speaker 2: comes to personal health trackers, I'm not sure that I 63 00:02:50,053 --> 00:02:52,133 Speaker 2: warn one. Do you do you use one? 64 00:02:52,653 --> 00:02:55,173 Speaker 3: I don't. I think it's a really I don't know 65 00:02:55,173 --> 00:02:56,373 Speaker 3: if this is where you're going or not. But I 66 00:02:56,413 --> 00:02:59,293 Speaker 3: think there's a really fascinating conversation, especially here in the 67 00:02:59,373 --> 00:03:03,293 Speaker 3: US where private insurance companies, you know, yah, in the 68 00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:06,173 Speaker 3: healthcare system, and I think we've got this like wealth 69 00:03:06,213 --> 00:03:09,773 Speaker 3: of information at our fingertips about like, how is that 70 00:03:09,813 --> 00:03:12,373 Speaker 3: going to start to play into our insurance? Yeah, premium 71 00:03:12,373 --> 00:03:14,973 Speaker 3: coverage right, Oh, you don't. It doesn't look like you're 72 00:03:15,013 --> 00:03:18,133 Speaker 3: getting out that much. We're gonna we're gonna charge you more. 73 00:03:18,453 --> 00:03:21,973 Speaker 3: Or I feel the same way about those the you know, 74 00:03:22,093 --> 00:03:24,133 Speaker 3: you swab your mouth and you do your genealogy. 75 00:03:24,253 --> 00:03:25,213 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, totally. 76 00:03:25,453 --> 00:03:26,253 Speaker 3: I don't do that either. 77 00:03:26,613 --> 00:03:29,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of yeah, I think it is a 78 00:03:29,173 --> 00:03:31,493 Speaker 2: little bit messy. But but just like in the basic stuff, 79 00:03:31,533 --> 00:03:33,893 Speaker 2: I don't don't feel like I need my ring to 80 00:03:33,933 --> 00:03:35,693 Speaker 2: tell me that I had a bad sleep last night, 81 00:03:35,813 --> 00:03:38,933 Speaker 2: or that my that I haven't been accelerating enough, or 82 00:03:38,933 --> 00:03:40,773 Speaker 2: that you know, I maybe haven't got enough step. I 83 00:03:40,893 --> 00:03:43,173 Speaker 2: just you know, Apple watch. 84 00:03:43,253 --> 00:03:44,693 Speaker 3: I do an Apple Watch. And the thing that annoy 85 00:03:44,733 --> 00:03:47,173 Speaker 3: me was it's always every time to stand. I'm like, 86 00:03:47,213 --> 00:03:48,413 Speaker 3: I know, but I have another meeting. 87 00:03:48,533 --> 00:03:50,573 Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, and I can't. And you just kind of 88 00:03:50,573 --> 00:03:53,693 Speaker 2: feel guilty in this, like anxiety over it or something. Yeah, 89 00:03:53,733 --> 00:03:54,653 Speaker 2: I'm not totally sure. 90 00:03:54,693 --> 00:03:56,973 Speaker 3: Hey, very quickly find it a very good motivator. 91 00:03:57,093 --> 00:03:58,773 Speaker 2: No, that's true, that's true. Maybe it's just an each 92 00:03:58,853 --> 00:04:01,013 Speaker 2: to their own kind of thing. Very quickly. Our Texans 93 00:04:01,053 --> 00:04:04,693 Speaker 2: are getting help on tracking power outages from a bit 94 00:04:04,693 --> 00:04:05,733 Speaker 2: of an unlikely hero. 95 00:04:06,493 --> 00:04:08,773 Speaker 3: I love this. There's a burger chain in Texas that 96 00:04:08,853 --> 00:04:11,693 Speaker 3: seems to be on like every corner of Houston open. 97 00:04:12,733 --> 00:04:15,213 Speaker 3: And so when the people of Houston found themselves without 98 00:04:15,213 --> 00:04:19,253 Speaker 3: power this week, the power company didn't really have a 99 00:04:19,373 --> 00:04:22,133 Speaker 3: very good map to show that and who came to 100 00:04:22,213 --> 00:04:25,253 Speaker 3: the rescue. But what a Burger Yeah, because their app 101 00:04:25,293 --> 00:04:28,133 Speaker 3: could show you what stores were open and closed, and 102 00:04:28,213 --> 00:04:31,973 Speaker 3: their folage stores had power and didn't, and there were 103 00:04:32,093 --> 00:04:35,733 Speaker 3: so many stores that it gave a very clear visual 104 00:04:36,413 --> 00:04:38,493 Speaker 3: of where the power is and where the power is 105 00:04:38,533 --> 00:04:39,693 Speaker 3: not in the city. 106 00:04:39,813 --> 00:04:43,973 Speaker 2: So isn't it amazing? Yeah? Quite simple. Yeah, that's quite clever. 107 00:04:44,373 --> 00:04:46,053 Speaker 2: Very good. Hey, thank you, Paul.
