1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich

2
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:05.519
<v Speaker 1>on Tech Saturdays from eleven to two right here on KFI.

3
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>It's Katla tech reporter Rich DeMuro.

4
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Morning, Rich, Hey, good morning to you. Amy.

5
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so we got the iPad and we've got something

6
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>that they finally have on the iPad and something that

7
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>they still don't have on the iPad.

8
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's only taken about fifteen years to get this application,

9
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 2>but it is finally there. And that app is WhatsApp.

10
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 2>That is the app. That's basically the entire story. People

11
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>love WhatsApp all over the world. They use it to communicate.

12
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 2>It is fully encrypted end to end, which people really like.

13
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Speaker 2>It is owned by Meta, but it's on the iPad now,

14
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 2>so you can have it on multiple devices. Your phone,

15
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>your Mac, your iPad. Messages do stay in sync and

16
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 2>the end to end encryption stays intact across all devices.

17
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so go get it. I have a question, and

18
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 1>that is that WhatsApp has been available on the iPhone

19
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 1>but not on the iPad. Is there a reason for that?

20
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>You know? I think part of it was the encryption situation,

21
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 2>because when WhatsApp was first available, the reason I didn't

22
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>use it is because you can only use it on

23
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.400
<v Speaker 2>one device. At the time, it had to be linked

24
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 2>to a phone number on a phone, and then they

25
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 2>sort of expanded that over the years. I don't know

26
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.560
<v Speaker 2>what the reason for the iPad lag was, but it's

27
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>there now. The only other app that Meta needs to

28
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 2>make for the iPad is Instagram, which people are baffled

29
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 2>why there's not an official Instagram app. You know, you

30
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>can put the phone app on there, but there's no

31
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 2>official sort of like big screen Instagram app for some reason.

32
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 2>So maybe that will be next.

33
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I didn't even know that because I have an iPad.

34
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I rarely use it because I just use my phone

35
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 1>so often. But that's just crazy that the IG isn't

36
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>on the iPad.

37
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you would think there would be. But you know,

38
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I think at some point Instagram had like a reason

39
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 2>for it, like, oh, we want to keep it, you know,

40
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.239
<v Speaker 2>more intimate with your phone versus like your iPad. But

41
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's like, come on, give us options.

42
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So I think that we've talked about this before

43
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 1>about how you can turn your when you take notes

44
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 1>and stuff, you can turn it into a podcast, And

45
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 1>now that's available in more places.

46
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we talked about this a couple weeks ago.

47
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Notebook LM is the tool, So this sort of was

48
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>an experiment at Google, just like a small thing. It

49
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>went viral because of this audio overview feature, which basically

50
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 2>allows you to toss any information you want into this

51
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 2>notebook LM app and it will convert it into a

52
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 2>podcast basically with two hosts kind of talking about the information.

53
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 2>But you can put anything in there, so you can

54
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>you can, you know, put PDFs in there, you can

55
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>put a website, YouTube, video, anything you want to learn

56
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 2>more about. And what's neat about this is that it's

57
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.719
<v Speaker 2>only using that information, so it's kind of like a

58
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 2>little bit cleaner than it would be if you just

59
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>use like straight up AI because it's trying to pull

60
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 2>just from your info. But the other thing is amy

61
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>you can also ask questions. You know, you can sit

62
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 2>there and like type in questions about things that you

63
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 2>want to ask about the information you put in there.

64
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, it's a really cool learning feature available through Google.

65
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 2>And now they finally came out with an app on

66
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>iPhone and Android. This only took them like two years,

67
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 2>so that's not too yep. But the cool thing is

68
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 2>you can listen to those audio overviews anywhere basically.

69
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So my question is if it's taking your information,

70
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 1>it's not going out searching the web. It's taking your

71
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>information and making the podcast. Is this for like your

72
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>own edification or to share with like, is it to

73
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.199
<v Speaker 1>help you study or is it excited to share?

74
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 2>No? I think it's I mean, you could share it.

75
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 2>You could download the podcasts and share it out, but

76
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 2>it's not meant to like make podcasts for you that

77
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>you can like share with friends and family. Like, that's

78
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>not really the idea. The idea is that you're going

79
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 2>to a foreign country. You want to learn everything you

80
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>could possibly learn about it, and so you drop that

81
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>information into notebook LM. It generates a podcast. I'm doing

82
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.800
<v Speaker 2>a panel discussion today, so they gave me a whole

83
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>briefing book. I dropped that into notebook LM. I listened

84
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 2>to that in my car, and now I'm briefed on

85
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 2>all the things that everyone wants to talk about, the panelists,

86
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>the background whatever. But it's only that information. So it's

87
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 2>really just you know, you want to learn a new law,

88
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, throw it in there, that take it down act,

89
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 2>that they passed a couple weeks ago. You can throw

90
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.560
<v Speaker 2>that in there and you can learn about that. So

91
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 2>it's just a different way to learn. A lot of

92
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 2>college students use it, a lot of lifelong learners. It's

93
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 2>just a really different and convenient way to learn thanks

94
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 2>to AI.

95
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and let's talk phones, because you have been playing

96
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>with the brand new S twenty five Edge for the

97
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>last couple of weeks and you said you we talked

98
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 1>to you about it, or we talked to you when

99
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 1>you first got it and you said, I'm going to

100
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 1>play with it for a while. Well now you have yes, So.

101
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.319
<v Speaker 2>It's been about three weeks. I've been using it on

102
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 2>a daily basis. This is Samsung's thinnest phone yet it

103
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 2>goes on sale on Friday. It's super thin, it's super light.

104
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.319
<v Speaker 2>I do love that aspect of it. I don't love

105
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 2>the fact that there's no dedicated zoom lens. It has

106
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>become not an issue, but it's definitely not ideal if

107
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you're coming from like a phone that has that. But

108
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>if you don't really care the phone, the camera is

109
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>excellent on this device, like really really impressive. I've used

110
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>it in all kinds of different situations, and it's a

111
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 2>great phone. The battery life was my other question. I

112
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.600
<v Speaker 2>would say that the battery life is fine. If you

113
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>have a charger, you're going to be fine. I would

114
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>say it's not going to have as good battery life

115
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>towards the end of the day as some of the

116
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 2>main other phones, but still overall, I really like this device.

117
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So Samsung Galaxy S twenty five Edge available in

118
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>stores now right Friday, Available in stores Friday. And how

119
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 1>much does it cost?

120
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 2>It starts at eleven hundred dollars, but there are many

121
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:58.600
<v Speaker 2>many deals out there, so be on the lookout. If

122
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>you pay full price for that thing, you're doing something wrong.

123
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, speaking of not paying full price, just real quick

124
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>money saving websites, you have some tips so we can

125

126
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:12.480
