It was another Chicken Wings and Beer episode of the SMRpodcast and the second two man show in as many weeks. It was kind of a light news week in the mobile world, but, we did talk about Windows 8 RTM, the Lumia 900 Windows Tango update, and the special pricing for Windows 8 announced by Microsoft.
We heard that BlackBerry 10 devices may not be supported by current versions of BES and that organizations who wish to support both BlackBerry 10 and legacy BlackBerry devices may have to deploy multiple BES servers.
We’ve got all this, our picks, and more in episode #131 of the SMRpodcast…
Have A listen…
