Podcast: TDL Mobile Show 102 – Windows Allure

As promised, we’ve returned with a show on schedule. Not too much news this week but we still manage a full hour show. We get things started talking about Google’s Chrome browser for Android before launching into a full on Windows assault. With the consumer preview of Windows 8 looming, I’m tempted by a Windows slate. We also discuss some Windows Phone news and some general mobile talk. Download or stream #102 down below.

Podcast: TDL Mobile Show 104 – MWC ’12 & Windows 8

Get ready for a marathon podcast as Jon joins Jase and I to go over Mobile World Congress and the release of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. We kick things off with Jase’s first impressions of the Win8 CP and the differences he has seen compared with the Developer Preview. This leads to a discussion about whether or not Microsoft’s unification strategy will truly work or if Metro has taken over too much. Eventually we make our way to this week’s announcements at MWC from ViewSonic, HTC, Sony and others. Ready, set, download!
