  • TDL Mobile Show 64

    Earlier this week, HP held their much anticipated “Think Beyond” event in San Francisco. Jose and Sheldon break down all the announcements from the event, including the super exciting Touchpad. We look at how this stacks up against the competition, what innovations it brings and how other new products like the Palm3 and the Veer fit in. Could this all add up to be a game changer? Not much room for anything else this week, oh except for some talk of the rumoured iPad2!

  • TDL Mobile Show 63

    Welcome to TDL Mobile Show 63, this week Jon, Jose and Jason talk Android Honeycomb, we could hardly have a show without it after this weeks announcement from Google. We look at the latest release of the OS and how it fits on the Xoom tablet. We also talk about what could be HP/Palms first WebOS tablet which the crew at TDL Mobile have been excited to see for a while and if it comes to fruition then Jose's predictions from when HP purchased Palm are just about spot on! And Nokia moving from Symbian to WP7, could it be?

    We wrap up with some more of the news hitting the mobile world this week, so take a listen and get in touch.

    Note: Jon and Jase mention at the end of the show about MWC being next week but in fact its the week after, 14th - 17th Feb, apologies for that :)

    First up on this weeks show Jose, Jason and Sheldon look at the Motorola Atrix and ask if this is the start of a major shift in the mobile space? Equally exciting is news of the Playstation phone: but will it live up to all the hype and is it really needed? We break down everything you need to know. We look ahead to Mobile World Congress and round up the release rumours including news of a high end Facebook phone. Plus there's the latest Windows Phone 7 numbers hot off the press, including worrying news from some app developers. We also look at the latest line up from Samsung and ask: are phones from some manufacturers just too darn similar?! So grab that coffee, sit back and let's catch up on all things mobile...
