The mobile world has been packed with news the last few weeks, so yesterday Phil, Derek, Dan, Rene and yours truly fired things up for a live Mobile Nations podcast. On this show we talk Windows Phone from Mango to Tango (and Nokia!), BlackBerry DevCon and BBX superphones, Android's Ice Cream Sandwich and Galaxy Nexus, webOS and the road ahead, and iPhone 4S and Siri. It's a solid show - if you've never tuned into one of our cross-platform discussions before, it's a great one to get started with. This is Mobile Nations!

Mobile Nations Podcast 008: Grand Theft Mobile
Haven't listened yet, but will check it out as soon as time permits.
Kevin
I asked ATT, today, about 9860/9650 and 9900 "launches at ATT"...and, well let's say, the "CRICKETS THEY WERE A CHIRPIN"....NO CLUE.... abosolutely pathetic RIMM's approach with the largest carrier in the U.S.......
commenting just to stop an annoying trend.
Really liking Mobile Nations, another good episode with the multiple perspectives and rounded mobile news really enjoyable. And let's not buy Web OS ;)
Kevin is sucking a** Lately . He is so Negative .
Negative? I don't think I'm negative at all. I'm always straight up honest about RIM. There's nothing to sugar coat. They have a ton of great stuff that they're doing... they also have a ton of challenges to work through. The big thing now is execution. BBX is awesome, what they're evolving to is great, but it's all about them getting things done and to market in a timely fashion. There's nothing negative about stating that. Love BB. I think if you're taking away negativity from me, you need to look within... maybe that's where you'll find it :)
WORD! Also, you mentioned there will be a "how to" on the gangsta chain you made for DevCon, and what's the app that is used to show the text/images on the screen?
Thanks
LOL Kevin and his Fail Necklace.
Fail necklace? Just wait until the camera catches him at a Jets game. Playbooks and gold necklaces will be selling like hotcakes! Mark my words here.
Lemme rephrase that.
Kevin and his "Fail necklace"
It said fail on it. lol
Great piece! Looking forward to seeing this more often as its a one-stop shop to get the latest on all devices.
what's up with this Windows guy, I observed even in the previous episodes he is so pessimistic about anything but WP7 and esp RIM? Didn't he know that RIM is still profitable unlike Nokia. RIM has 70 million user-base and growing but what has Microsoft got in the mobile space, sold 1-2 million units since it's WP7 launch? I don't know if they are going to get any traction anytime soon and by the time they see some traction we will have BBX blazing guns. It's funny he was arguing Kik and Watsapp are better than BBM, thanks Kevin for cutting him short on this.
In btw, kudos to Rene, he is so damn good at podcasting, he is the best I have seen so far (atleast tech podcasts).
hey cbkevin, what app were you using on you playbook on the podcast with marquee text.... fail...crackberry...winnipeg jets.. cool idea. please indulge.
