In this episode of the SMRpodcast, Chris was away on a road trip, but, we were lucky to have Allison Sheridan from the NosillaCast podcast and Terrance Gaines from Brothatech.com sit in with us and talk tech.
This week we cover a lot of Apple news and the goings on at WWDC 2012. We talk about the MacBook Pro and the new Retina display, iOS 6, and, Leopard. We also cover a bit of Windows 8 and question if Windows RT tablets will cost more than the iPad.
We touch on how good of an IM client BBM is and ponder if Google or Facebook will offer a cross platform app that rivals it in features. We've got all this plus some really good picks this week in episode #121 of the SMRpodcast…
