It's Tuesday, September 4th. Welcome to Market Foolry. I'm Chris Hill and joining me in studio today for Motley

Fool 1, Jason Moser and for Motley Full Inside Value, Joe Maker.

Gentlemen, happy post-Labor Day. Whoa! We're back. We are back for the

entire week. We're going to talk share buybacks. We're going to talk about some movie

history that was made over the weekend. But we are going to start with the world of big tech.

And that is the fact that there are some big tech events this week.

Amazon, Google, and Microsoft all have events planned later in the week. Microsoft and Nokia have an event plan for Wednesday morning.

Widely expected to be the unveiling of the first Windows 8 phone.

Google...

I'm holding my breath for that.

I think we all are.

Google Motorola, also on Wednesday, why they expected to be an upgrade of the

Droid Razor phone.

And then Amazon on Thursday expected to be Kindle updates of

varying degrees. Let's just go through them company by company. What is each

company need to do? What's sort of the key question that each one of these companies needs to

answer as a result of this event and Joe will just start with Microsoft and

Nokia. Sure it's the least interesting. I think Microsoft and Nokia in the crowd. That's going to be tough. I don't think they're going to do it, but it's not just

good enough for them to put out a good phone or even a great phone today. There are a lot of great

phones on the market. It needs to be something that really stands out, gets people's attention, gets buzz with consumer review sites, but also individual people.

People get excited, they see the phone, they think it's slick.

I don't think they're going to deliver though.
