It has been a long CES hangover week, but this episode should be the final purging…
CES might have been a bit smaller and underwhelming than previous years, but the Palm Pre made it worth the trip to Las Vegas this go-around. Will and I talk about the Pre as well as some other key announcements, such as microSD XC pacing the way to 2 TB memory cards, LG’s watch phone, and a few other stories following in the wake of CES. The Mobile World Conference is a scant month away, and should provide us with even more news for the mobile world.
A big shoutout to our guest musicians, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, who are featuring You Better Pray on Tap Tap Revenge for the iPhone.
Listen in on the CES roundup podcast after the jump!
