Episode #115 of the SMRpodcast, Mr. Telephone Man, has been recorded and is now available. This week we’ve got a “Just the Two of Us” episode where Rod and I hold it down while the big fella is on the road.
BlackBerry dominated our conversation this week as BlackBerry World 2012 kicked yesterday in Orlando. We talk BlackBerry 10, the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha Device, the $10,00 quality app guarantee for developers, and more.
We also touch on the Microsoft / Barnes & Noble deal, Hulu potentially requiring cable subscriptions for access to “free” content, and if Apple is right to figure out how to pay less taxes.
