    iOS 5 shows evidence of 1080p video, will it come to iPad and Apple TV?

      This is awesome. Getting the different editors opinions on each platform talking about other os's is great. I look forward to this and really think this is playing to one of the greatest strengths of the SPE network. You have a great staff of editors and writers and this is an oppertunity for them to step out of their comfort zones. I'm also hoping this brings back the Smartphone Round Robin maybe with tablets and phones this time.

      I would say be explicit but not vulgar. Obviously don't talk about which sex position gives you the best vantage point for texting, but don't be "oh golly gee" clean

      Stick clean. I personalty think those who bash other platforms are childish.

      and nice job on Disqus comments! Long over due.

    5. I didn't know how to pronounce TiPb until now.

      I say explicit. But don't turn it into a Kevin smith movie, just be natural, and if the flow of the conversation slides that way, let it.

      I always prefer a podcast with some sort of intro, even 20-30 seconds of production music behind an opening that gives an indication of the topics that will be covered adds a ton of professionalism to a podcast. IMO, anyway.

      Not saying you have to be like Adam Carolla or Kevin Smith, but you could go a little edgier.

      Great idea for a show. I seem to recall that SPE had some kind of roundrobin show before, but never listened.

      And explicit podcasts get tagged with the "explicit" label in iTunes, which may or may not affect the number of minors who listen. (Or who are allowed to listen by their parents.)
