IntoMobile Podcast: The Signal

For safety reasons, please keep all hands and feet inside the podcast for the duration of Episode 9 of The Signal.

This is BlackBerry Storm week in America, with plenty of bloggers sitting on the fence on RIM’s first touchscreen device. Is the choppy OS just the result of growing pains, or could this seriously stunt sales? The leading touchscreen smartphone to date, the iPhone, also has lots of news this week involving jailbreak progress and rumours of MMS availability. Not to be left entirely behind, some new capabilities for the T-Mobile G1 have also come to light, including multitouch and Flash. After the news, we take some time to talk with Zenprise about their latest announcement involving iPhone in enterprise. Is the iPhone a viable corporate tool, and what kind of support does it need?

There’s plenty more where that came from, so hit the jump for Episode 9 of the IntoMobile podcast!

Music by Krazy Baldhead.
