SMRpodcast #126: The Surprise Apology

July 18, 2012 by Robb Dunewood Leave a Comment

It was a “laid back” 126th episode of the SMRpodcast where we didn’t talk about a lot of news, but, we did get into some interesting discussions about Windows 8, Windows Phone executive defections from Microsoft, and Robb’s brand new toy, the Google Nexus 7 tablet. We also touch on Apple’s admission of a mistake, RIM’s $120+ patent woes, and the upcoming $99 Android gaming console.
