Episode 7: 2009 - Pre-empted

Welcome to Episode 7 of 0G, A History of Forgotten Phones! 0G is a limited-run podcast where we look back at how weird and wonderful smartphones were back in the days before iOS and Android took over and your only option became a rectangular slab running one or the other.

0G is hosted by two people who were there: Christie Pitts (now at Backstage Capital), who started her career selling phones at a Verizon store, and Peter Rojas (now at Betaworks Ventures), founder of Gizmodo, Engadget, and gdgt.

In Episode 7 we take a look at the phones of 2009, including the Palm Pre, the BlackBerry Storm 2, the Microsoft Kin 1 & 2, the Motorola Droid, and the HTC HD2.
