Podcast: TDL Mobile Show 107 – Bitter-sweet
06/16/12 • 52 min
It’s bitter-sweet this week because while it’s great to be back after almost 2 months since we recorded Show 106 we say goodbye to one of our co-hosts Jose (@JoseROrtiz). As I’m sure long time listeners will know Jose has been here since the very beginning and will be missed. I’m sure I can bait him back onto the show as a guest sometime.
This week we spend some time saying a fond farewell to Jose before moving on to discuss the recent iOS 6 news followed by Android, Windows Phone, Windows 8 and how Shazam are trying to monetise their service. We are also joined by guest John Hoole (Blog|Twitter) who has an interest in Apple, Microsoft as well as being a fellow Acer Iconia W500 Tablet owner.
Unfortunately Sheldon (@SheldonW) has also decided to move on from the show although we’d really like to get him on for one final show. Both Jon and I will be continuing with TDL Mobile so look out for the next show when we’ll have details of our sponsor Audible.com and if you’re interested in becoming a co-host then do get in touch and we’ll organise a guest appearance.

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.

Podcast: TDL Mobile Show 108 – Looking Beneath the Surface
This week Jon and Jason are joined by Ian Dixon to talk over the hot topic of the week with Microsoft revealing the new Surface tablets during an announcement that had been kept completely free of any information leaking ahead of the event. We talk about the buzz this event generated, the hardware, and the potential impact on the usual OEM channels. Could the Surface finally offer some real competition to the iPad?
We then discuss the second big announcement from Microsoft when they unveiled an early look at Windows Phone 8 along with the news that existing devices will only receive a new 7.8 release which most likely will only bring the facelift to the start screen. Can Windows Phone 8 close the current feature gap to Android and iOS?
These announcements created some great discussions so the show is a little longer than usual. Do you agree with our opinion or do you feel there is a desperate move with nothing of substance once you look beneath the Surface? We are looking for guest co-hosts so get in touch below and let us know what you think.
