After recording our BlackBerry 7 Smarpthone Review CrackBerry Podcast Super Special earlier this week, on Thursday night we recorded live a Mobile Nations podcast to discuss all the crazy stuff happening. Beyond talking new BlackBerry phones again, on this show Phil, Derek, Dan, Georgia, Rene and myself talk HP dumping webOS hardware, Google picking up Motorola Mobility, and what it means all means for RIM, Microsoft and Apple. This is Mobile Nations!
