Screens, what might other features may be iphone have . We spoke to Brian Marshall and i started by asking about the screens. Believe it or not, apple is almost two years behind the leaders. It is going to be enough to a massive upgrade cycle. We kind of joked for the past year, it will be the mother load. Why five inches . That is big. It competes with the ipad. The largest smart phone we have seen was the lg flex. We saw it this past year. It is six inches and it curves. It curves across the mandible. We do not think it was too big. We do not think the 5. 5 will be too big. Our best to guess it will probably be a 50 50 split. Apple did not seem to get it right the last time. The phone under performed for them. What does apple do . We do not talk about how well they have managed the supply chain. What does it mean . They tried to launch this in a bigger way. You bring up a huge point. There are 300 million iphone users of which we estimate 100 million are not eligible to upgrade. Ther
We will get to many of the areas where you have expertise. You were head of the benghazi review board. Is there a case for reopening that investigation . If there is, i have not seen it yet. I have been alert to this. When i took the job, i knew it was going to be a big issue that had great political overtones. And i tried to watch it very carefully, one of the things i did when i took the job, i tried to read every report that we did our job as well as we could. We did our job as well as we could. I am the last person to tell you we did everything perfectly. No one believes your board, your review board, got all of the information and documents. Of course, we got information and documents on the five tasks we had under the law. For security. We were not there to look at talking points. We were not there to look at what i would call event political hand wrestling. And so of course, there could be things that were not within our mandate because we did not get the material. They do not g
Were you satisfied with what he said . No. That was no action or plan. It has taken three weeks. We expected to hear news. We thought he would tear into the issue with the severity it deserved. We did not hear it. I immediately heard from our brothers nationwide saying, is that it . We are disappointed. Should general shinseki go . We will talk to our members. We pulled our members and we will make a decision based off of that. Well talk about it and make sure we talk to our members nationwide. They are outraged and disappointed. This is about nine different cities. About six years of problems. One thing after another. If you have been paying attention, we have been outraged for a few years. What would you like to see him do right now . He dithers. The congress could take action. It will strengthen the v. As ability to fire people. Shinseki has lost the confidence of veterans and the american people. The president on memorial day always talks about veterans. What would you like to hear
Stephen engle attended the Product Launch and started by asking about the infamous reaction in the room when the ceo walked into the room, unveiling this new tablet. You can imagine the kind of reception he got. You know what . When the faithful were there in full force in their red tshirts packing the Convention Center hall beyond capacity, cheering every new Product Launch, from a new hdtv, a new router, and of course the new product was the new mipad. He hates to be compared to steve jobs, but he is clearly taking a page from apple in leveraging its growing phone user base to sell tablets. Already, it sells more phones in china than apple. I caught up with the man who is in charge of the International Push for xiaomi, that is hugo barra. Were going to start probably in southeast asia, and then take it to the other markets we are exploring like india, latin america, and so on. Will you see how it does in the china market . Timeframe is determined by our manufacturing capacity. We hav
