It was a fun 129th episode of the SMRPodcast where we started out without Rod but he ends up joining us for the show. We laid out a few PSA’s for our listeners but we did get into some interesting discussions about the Apple Account hack that occurred, BlackBerry getting other manufacturers to build their devices, and Windows 8 adoption predictions. We also touch on Apple’s pulling the YouTube app from iOS and Nokia’s planned announcement of Windows Phone 8 devices.
