We're 100.
100 ! If you're like us, you totally can't believe it's been more than two years since we first started Mobile Podcasting but you totally
can believe it at the same time because that's just how we roll: dedicated. To celebrate we've brought along Engadget Chinese editor Richard Lai and Noah Kravitz of TechnoBuffalo to weigh in on stuff like the Xiaomi phone and Symbian Belle leaking its way into the world. And...a couple of other things. We're old. It's a mobile party. You just got your pentaband invite to click on the play or download links below. Don't sleep on it: before you know it we'll be 200.
Hosts: Myriam Joire (
tnkgrl ), Brad Molen
Guests: Richard Lai, Noah Kravitz
Producer: Trent Wolbe Music: Daestro - Light Powered (
