Disable camera from launching while display is off. Vernon learned this the hard way.

David feels that moving away from hubs is OK in Windows 10 Mobile. Vernon feels change is bad, especially when it was such an amazing feature of Windows Phone.

On this episode of the MS Mobile Show, Vernon & David discuss the frustration of companies seemingly willing to not remove the "Beta" label from their apps, programs or services.

Gmail was in Beta for what seemed like an eternity and now the official Instagram app for Windows Mobile has been in Beta for what seems like nearly 2 years even though it finally received a recent update.

Also this was the first trial at hosting our live experience over at Blab.im, so we would love to hear what you think of it.

In this episode we are joined by Richard Hay to talk about his experience with Windows 10 and what he expects on the July 29th release day.

Gabe Aul & his team are constantly pushing updates out to the last full build that was released, with one security update released each day for the last few days.

Will Microsoft switching to pretty much mandatory, automatic updates be a good or bad decision? Time will tell, but you can hear our thoughts right here, right now.

As always thanks for listening!

Much of the focus of this episode is on the upcoming release of Windows 10. Starting first with Insiders who have been testing the preview builds from day one, Insiders have seen Windows 10 grow & change as feedback was submitted & taken into consideration from the Windows team.

We also discuss some of the 950 & 950 XL Windows Mobile renders created over at Windows Central based on source information gathered by Daniel Rubino from his sources. Pretty sharp looking device, but what do you think?
