SMRPodcast #148: Country Bumpkin Internet

January 16, 2013 by 4 Comments

SMRpodcast episode #148 has been recorded, posted online, and is ready for download.  This week we get an audio question from Allison Sheridan about Windows Phone, Robb got to play with a BlackBerry Dev Alpha device, and the Department of Homeland Security recommends everyone disable java in their web browser.

Rod thinks Chris needs a Borderlands 2 intervention, Amazon adds digital copies of CDs purchased over the last 14 years to your digital locker, and we all think that CBS forcing CNET to pull Dish’s Hopper from the CES Best of Show finalists was a horrible decision.

We’ve got all this and more, plus, our picks in episode #148 of the SMRpodcast.

    As far as BB10 being released for the PlayBook, it is going to happen, developers have been talking about doing development of their apps for BB10 and have even released apps that run now but will have extra features in BB19. The real question is when, I have seen dates as late as summer – and the longer RIM waits, the more the PlayBook hardware, which is still pretty good, becomes uncompetitive.

    This episode has the very best audio quality for Chris, Robb and Rod that I have heard on SMR. Oh, and excellent content as well. Great job guys.
