**Designing the Perfect Phone: A Conversation with Dylan Herrero**
In this episode of TechnoBuffalo, we're joined by user Dylan Herrero to discuss what makes a phone truly great when it comes to design. We start our conversation with the Lumia 900 and the Lumia 800, both of which were designed by Nokia and feel solidly built in the hand. These phones are not only aesthetically pleasing but also demonstrate a mastery of industrial design that is hard to match in the Android world.
"Dylan, what do you think sets these phones apart from others?" we ask. For him, it's all about the attention to detail and the feeling of quality that comes with using a well-designed device. "They're just gorgeous," he says. "You can tell they were built by Nokia. They feel like luxury items in your hand."
We also bring up the iPhone 4S as an example of exceptional design, citing its sleek lines and industrial design prowess as setting it apart from other Android devices. While Dylan hasn't used an iPhone in months, he acknowledges that Apple's attention to detail is unparalleled. "It's a feat of industrial design," he says. "We haven't seen anything like it in the Android world."
**The Best Designed Phones**
So, who else deserves mention among the best designed phones? For Dylan, it's not just about form over function – the phone has to be functional as well. He gives honorable mentions to other devices that excel in both design and functionality.
One user, Mr. John 4 Lakers, chimes in with his own take on the matter. "I think HostGator is a great web hosting service," he says. "They've got top-rated customer support, unlimited bandwidth, and a 45-day money-back guarantee. Plus, they're offering 25% off your first order or your first month free – it's a great deal."
We also field a question from techmix, who asks if the PS Vita can compete with full-fledged consoles on the market. For Dylan, the answer is simple: no, the PS Vita is not meant to compete with consoles. Instead, it's designed to complement them and offer a unique gaming experience that can't be replicated on larger screens.
"It's not supposed to compete with full-fledged consoles," he explains. "It's supposed to give you an option when you want to play games on the go. And let's be honest – there are some amazing titles available for the PS Vita that just aren't available on bigger screens."
**Rumors and Speculation**
Finally, we wrap up our conversation with a question from techmix about rumors surrounding the PS Vita's capabilities. While the console is capable of producing impressive graphics, it's not quite on par with the full-fledged consoles like the PS3.
"I think Sony is trying to make the PS Vita out to be more than it is," Dylan says with a chuckle. "But at the end of the day, if you want to play games on the go, the PS Vita is still an amazing option."
As for his own height, we can't help but ask: how tall are you? For our host, John Retter, the answer is simple – he's 510 inches tall. Yes, that's right – a towering figure among men.

have an announcement on March 7th what's your opinion on this so March 7th is the date that we've heard and then we heard it confirmed again but until we get that invitation from Apple in the mail or email uh I'm a little bit dubious certainly March 7th does tie into to the iPad release cycle which we've seen pretty regularly just about every year uh the bigger story as opposed to when is what and what we're going to see in an iPad 3 so a few things seem like obvious upgrades first better camera camera on the iPad 2 is abysmal um both cameras are abysmal they barely qualify as cameras it's like someone took a really good camera and rubbed Vaseline all over the lens and then they stuck that lens into the back of the iPad 2 Retina Display certainly something that we're going to see which could lead potentially to some sort of app fragmentation some apps run at higher display some have to be scaled better battery certainly uh as a evolutionary step that we've seen on every iteration of the device or at least the only second iteration that we've seen since the iPad 1 launched also processor a lot of talk about the A6 we went from the A4 to the A5 so using my Keen math skills uh we are going to see the A6 processor uh which presumably will bring two more cores to the party making it a quad core device so certainly that UPS what app developers can do as far as games gaming prowess uh and the like all right so we went from Super technical let's go to the other side and talk about design what is the best designed phone asks user Dylan Herrero there are two as far as I'm concerned

full-fledged consoles it's supposed to complement them and now Sony's saying that the PS vaita has almost the graphics prowess of the PS3 you know that sort of yet to be seen on a smaller screen it's kind of hard to tell if you're sitting at home and you've got a PS3 in front of you and you've got your you know same game on a portable console chances are you're going to play on your bigger console

option A lot has been made about casual gamers versus hardcore Gamers a lot of people now are playing their games on their mobile devices and that's fine for wanting to play a couple bouts of Angry Birds or smaller games um but those dedicated portable consoles give you a lot of things that you know your iPhone your Android device your iPad whatever it might be won't do and you're getting a
