Show 42: Phillips Prime
For a show coming just after Apple's announcements, they do little talking about phones. All over the map, they talk about security, bacon, and pickled products. They do rediscover that Apple cheap doesn't mean inexpensive.
Perhaps next week they will talk about iOS 7. We can only hope.
Show 41: HTC Quality
In the heady break-neck days leading up to September 10th's announcement, top educators Jeff and Ty do an all-over-the-road show with a strong phone theme. They discuss the Galaxy Note 3 and the leatherback design. Broken screens and case solutions are on the table. Of course the Otter Box and the Mophie get their due. It's all prologue to next week's announcement show.
Show #40 Jaw Drop Moment
For the third episode of the 2013/13 school year, Jeff and Ty look into the potential getability of a champagne-gold iPhone. They both go out on a limb proclaiming that Apple will have some kind of announcement on the 10th of September. Ty dares anyone who thinks that Apple isn't arrogant enough to put a 'C'in their cheap phone to remember the past. They then speculate on why older Apple devices get heavier with time-Do they absorb water? Jeff makes a case for Apple's need to have a sensational "just one more thing" moment, Finally, they marvel at the 3d Image for Android and actually say something nice about Yahoo.
