I must say it did get a bit noisy on this show which is understanding(100 episode’s WOW)But I was over the mobile phone convo in about 5min but it went on for 15 and then Shapshack. Just to point it out there are 9 main points about this cast and 6 of them were mobile But again understandable due to it being the week of Mobile world Congress.

* Microsoft Windows Phone Series 7.
* Development on mobile platforms.
* Google and Android at the Mobile World Congress 2010.
* Intel and Nokia’s MeeGo announcement.
* Samsung’s new Bada operating system and the new Wave.
* Verizon’s partnership with Skype.

To be honest I am over mobile talk….Every day we hear about a new phone that’s going to change history yet it doesn’t and if it does it cant even have themes or folders.

End Rant!

I didn’t mind so much the overlapping talk, since it was an historic episode and everyone was excited- plus there was plenty to talk about.

More to the point, don’t miss the fact that the guys have rolled out a new feature- Testing Technology Live! In this episode, the gang proves that Skype Video (or at least U-Stream integration with Skype) is an epic fail, completely unsuitable for enterprise users.

For next week, can you compound your success and roll out an online dictionary of South African slang? I’m searching for “pants”, “redonculous” and I think it was “britz” but so far no soap.

Jon Tullett gets extra kudos for picking and picking-on in the same breath. Brilliant! MVP!

Ditto what Michael said. The second everyone starts talking at the same time, it immediately turns into noise.

Congratulations on the 100th podcast! Well done. This is now part and parcel of my weekly tech news fix.

Hi Guys

I listen to your podcast as it is mostly relevant to mainstream local and some international technology developments.

I acknowledge that you are having fun while recording – however, it is rather unpleasant to listen to your podcast when all speak at once and a contributor is not given the opportunity to complete their sentence and / or train of thought.

If you could also try and minimise background noise and other sounds it will be appreciated.

Many thanks for providing this content.

Michael
