Episode #130 of the SMRpodcast was just a two man show with hosts Rod Simmons and Chris Ashley, however, we hold it down while Robb is out. This week we get right into the Microsoft Surface Tablet $199 price rumor and how true we think it is. We get into some RIM news this week as they were just saved from a huge settlement payment. We also discuss Apple and the iPhone 5 as well as what the iPad mini will do to the market.
