MS Mobile Show - A Microsoft Enthusiast Podcast

Chances are that if you regularly listen to this podcast, you are probably running Windows 10 on your main PC. The fact remains though, that many people are still using Windows 7 on their work devices. On this episode, Vernon and David compare the two operating systems, how they use them differently, and their favorite features of each version. Personal app, music, and podcast picks are also shared as usual.

Thanks for listening!

Vernon and David have been super busy lately, and there was an initial snafu with this episode's audio, but here it finally is!

• The two catch up a bit, share some insights from the recent Anniversary update, and
• David shares more about the secret project he has been working on, and Vernon shares a bit about a substantial family event and a unique weather situation.
• Double-Tap-To-Wake for the Lumia 950 and 950 XL continues to get rolled out. "Extras->Touch" to enable if available.
• David got a standing desk at work, which he has tricked out with Microsoft goodies.
• More Continuum thoughts are shared.
• Vernon and David dig deep into the "Dos" and "Don't" of mobile image capturing and sharing. ("Dig Deep" is code for "Rant, with a few morsels in insight")
• While recording the show, Vernon un-expectantly encounters a great feature of Windows 10 which prevent unintentional password locking. Naturally, the conversation transitions to password curation.
• The pair finish off the show with their app and music picks, and you will need to come back next episode for some podcast recommendations.

Microsoft employee and friend of the show, Darrell Prichard, joins Vernon and David for another round. Few filters are utilized, which is true to form.

The three talk about recent Groove updates, Groove failures, and legally sharing music through OneDrive.

Butter seems to get mentioned much more often than usual.

The new Skype UWP is available, but only for those willing to jump through a few hoops. Nevertheless, it is well worth it.

The show wouldn't be complete without personal app, music, and podcast picks.

Also, there is one particular app not on Windows Phone/Mobile that we make a point NOT to mention. You're welcome.

We really hope Darrell's manager lets him come back on the show again.

On this episode of the MS Mobile Show, we discuss the fact that as popular as Pokemon Go is, it is unlikely that the hit game will make an appearance on Windows Mobile anytime soon if at all.

We also discuss the reappearance of the Lumia 1520 on AT&T for what we consider to be an outrageous price for a 3 year old phone and much more.

We appreciate every one of you who listens to the MS Mobile Show on a regular basis. We love the interactions as well. Without you the listener, the show becomes a pair of guys rambling on.

The show is produced and accessible for you at absolutely no cost to you other than time to listen.

While we love to bring this show to you, we would love to be able to have some more fun and have the ability to be able to buy things like T-shirts, coffee mugs, devices and software to be able to do regular giveaways like other websites and podcasts.

To do this, we would ask if you could spare as little as $1 per month ($12 a year) to help us achieve this in 2016. As many listeners as we have, according to our stats, we could do some serious giveaways if every listener signed up for just $1 per month.

To support the show, and help us make this possible, please visit our Support page in order to find out how to help this happen.

As always, thank you for listening and/or watching!

We are pleased to be joined by Sean "WinPhan" Johnson on this episode of the MS Mobile Show! Both Sean and David V. Kimball have held the "WinPhan" title over the last few years, so it is a treat to have both of them on the same show at the same time.

We also are a little light in the show notes area this week, so we apologize for that. A lot of great discussion about some of the latest Windows Mobile device news along with talking about the fast pace of fast ring builds for both mobile and PC.

As David mentioned in his disclaimer at the beginning of the episode, he had a bit of an audio mixup.

But hey, mistakes do happen right? Regardless, Vernon & David bring you another fun filled episode discussing some of the recent news and other things going on in the world of Microsoft.

After the Father's Day weekend, Vernon and David kick off the show talking about how the weekend was for each of them. Vernon has gotten his replacement Band 2 finally and that leads to a discussion about friends and the challenges feature with the Band 2.

This might be a little light on tech news discussion but we have a feeling that you are going to enjoy hearing these two this week.
