Oh Bang bang, you've made me the happiest Podcast listener in the world!

Yes, a thousand times yes!

Now that I've got that out the way, I just have to wait for iTunes to update the podcast and download it. *hums to himself*

[Veedems Veteran]

Bah, I messed up the RSS feed. I'm correcting it now. I got stuck with editing this week, and by the time I was done, I wanted to get everything else done and over with.

And thanks for listening :D

Heh yeah that's how I usually feel. I think we both love recording it, and both hate editing it.

[Mathachew Veteran]

Maybe someone else could help edit it...? *hint hint wink wink nudge nudge* Bwahahahaha, time to listen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the iPhone and iPod Touch simply PDAs with touchscreen interaction? Haven't PDAs always been able to do what the iPhone and iPod Touch can do now? If you took that away, don't you have virtually the same thing? It's got functionality just like a PDA, so why are we looking at it like an MP3 Player with all these other features when it is in fact a PDA? If I'm overlooking something, please tell me.

Mathachew, it's all about bringing it to the wider consumer. PDAs have long been the gadget of choice for business professionals and technology enthusiasts. By marketing it as an MP3 player with additional functionality, it brings it to a larger audience.

True, but at the end of the day it's a touchscreen PDA, but no one treats it like that, not even technology enthusiasts.

I have only just this second seen this post!

Thanks Guys (Y)

No show this week. Rob was busy with his personal life and after getting fed up with my mic as it progressively has gotten worse and worse, I had to wait until today to buy a new one.

[Mathachew Veteran]

Psh, you think loving takes precedence over Neowin? Huh? HUH? Yeah, I know it does :D

[Rappy Veteran]

Thats cool guys!

Look forward to the next one!
