This is our first attempt at an app-centric podcast. While we’re still working out the kinks, we think we’ve hit our first stride pretty well. In this episode we talk specifically about our favorite apps of the moment, but in the future we’ll be focusing on both app news, and apps in particular. We’re also fortunate enough to have some excellent upcoming developer guests, they’ll be making appearances in the upcoming weeks.
Also, this episode is iOS heavy, but we plan on focusing on all major mobile operating systems (minus RIM, huzzah) as well as desktop and web applications. It’s going to be all apps, all the time.
But I’m not going to lie, both Myke and Josh are hard core Apple fans, so there’s going to be a lot of iOS focus, especially as we’re getting settled.
