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!

Podcast: TDL Mobile Show 106 – Jase vs. Jose Round 2

Jase once again manages to bait me into a discussion about the merits of Windows Phone. We open the show with exactly that; a back and forth between Jase and I discussing what’s great and not so great about Windows Phone, and what Microsoft needs to do to bring it up to par with Android and iOS. Jon jumps in and provides his input as well but who’s side did he take? Unfortunately the debate is cut short but Jon and Jase continue on to cover the latest news in mobile. This is one you don’t want to miss.
