Some interesting things in this episode, one of which is the speculation of Google Chrome coming to iOS. I would love that!
Sweet, if Apple wants lose out what it can gain working WITH Google i’m all for it, With Steve Jobs gone Apple has been making mistake after mistake, they’re goin down anyways but they’re just accelarating it. For instance, you can get Droid OS on alot of different phones, even non contract phones, and it works great, an iPhone does less, is less compatible with other services and systems, and apple sells them for $600 (currently?) and my understanding is either YOU pay it up front or your carrier does and you pay for it in your contract. What sense does that make? They’re already far behind Google and don’t even know, only thinking keeping Apple afloat is that they’re customers are obsessed with being trendy and with Jobs gone so is the genius behind it. Bye Bye Apple,
