  • S04 E10 - BB10: Don't call it a comeback (yet)

    It's the last show in season 4 but don't worry we have a very special guest in the shape of The Voicemail Podcast's own James Whatley and we're talking about Blackberry (again).

    Could Ewan be even a little right about a come-back?

    Is there anything possibly left to announce after all the leaks?

    We're not sure but the 'mood in the room' is warming to them (a bit).

    Don't worry - you won't have to wait long for more 361-goodness. We'll be reporting daily from Mobile World Congress - the world's biggest mobile event thing (in Barcelona) - with daily updates in a special mini-series.

  • S04 E09 - Ubuntu Mobile: What and why? (and again, why?)

    We're back and - after re-capping some of the big news whilst we've been gone - this week we talk about Ubuntu Mobile.

    Ewan's enthused, perhaps even keen. Rafe is dubious the small firm can make a dent in the world of mobile ecosystems and Ben is - well - flat out confused why they're bothering.

  • S04 E08 - Christmas 2012 Mobile 'Naughty or Nice' Review

    This week the team are in a festive mood, assessing who's been 'naughty or nice' in the mobile industry:

    Ewan celebrates 'Snapchat' and puts Apple on the naughty step.

    Ben enthuses about 'good' high-speed 3G and savages Vodafone's SureSignal.
    Rafe dreams of a winter wonderland without handset subsidies and puts coal in Google's stocking for the loss of Exchange ActiveSync for Gmail users.

    Thanks to everyone for their support in 2012. See you next year!

      • S04 E05 - "Mobile First"

        This week the team ask themselves, "If smartphones are so great shouldn't more things be available first (or better… or quicker) on mobile?" We discuss the candidates for being 'mobile first' and the challenges.

        We also discuss our 'things of the week' (in-store wifi, using VoIP to ditch international calling charges and the HTC / Apple patent settlement) and anticipate the next '361 Live' on 16th November: http://361degre.es/361-live-desktop-internet-is-dead-long-live-m

      • S04 E04 - More tablets, but what (and who) for?

        There you were waiting for someone to come and shake-up the tablet market and then an iPad Mini and a Microsoft Surface both come along at once... The team wonder what (and who) they're all for.

        We also chat about Ewan's recent Android rejection, Rafe's enthusiasm for Windows Phone 8 (it's here at last) and EE's terrible launch (see http://lc.tl/eefail - h/t to @AndrewGrill).

      • S04 E03 - What do you buy on your phone?

        This week the team discuss mobile shopping, mobile payments (again) and how retailers are working around the challenges of payments and security.

        Ewan berates Ben for choosing the wrong mobile tariff and Ben invents a mobile credit card service that already exists: http://card.io

        We all like the BBC's "The Thick Of It": http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qgrd

      • S04 E02 - 4G from EE via LTE... OMG

        This week we talk about 4G as it arrives - at last - in the UK. Surely faster is better… isn't it? And if it won't be super fast why else might it be better? Rafe explains. Ben and Ewan complain.

        We also chat briefly about phone insurance, Snapjoy and contact-less payments.
