The Signal (IntoMobile Podcast: Episode 21)

 

Rev your engines, technophiles, CTIA Wireless is next week…

This is the last hoo-rah before CTIA Wireless starting next Wednesday, and there’s plenty of news happening. Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) had a bit of a rough week from all angles – customer, developer and even patent-wise. For this week’s poll, we tap the developer problem on the shoulder: is it cool that Apple keeps its 30% cut and the developers have to cover whole refunds on their own? The majority of votes right now are leaning on the developer’s side, but go ahead and have your say after the jump. The giveaways also continue this week: just drop a comment (maybe even voicing your opinion on this iPhone App Store debacle) and you can win a free pair of Z.Buds from Zagg. 

Polls, giveaways, and the week’s biggest news after the jump!

Music by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, as featured on Tap Tap Revenge for the iPhone.
