65bits Episode 102: Welcome back, Palm! It’s been a long time…
It’s that time of the year again! CES + Macworld combo! It is therefore only appropriete for us that we should record the longest episode this week too! Have no fear!! Check out our shownotes, and use the time-stamps to listen to just the stories that you’re interested in! We’ve carefully picked only the best stories just for your listening pleasure.
The beginning of the year is an interesting one for the tech industry. First Apple surprises us (well, not really) by announcing minor products, while Microsoft over promises in their keynote by having their servers crash hours they released Windows 7’s public beta. And who would have guessed that the company that was going to steal all the thunder last week was going to be Palm? And interesting year, this is, indeed…
Daniel, NTT, DK, featuring our special guest, Willy Foo of LiveStudios.sg
