  • A great choice for a guest! Rene, I still don't see this podcast in my subscription to Vector. Does it normally take time to become available? I use the apple podcast app and I also checked the iMore app podcast section. Sent from the iMore App
  • It seems to be there now! Ben's been on a couple times before, so be sure to check the archives: Vector episode list
  • I uploaded and linked a new file for this podcast, the original was missing about 5 min. Apologies for the inconvenience!
  • Ben Thompson was right on about HTC! Reuters just posted an article on how HTC has decided to make lower cost phones. http://thefrustum.com/blog/2014/2/9/htc-is-going-to-make-lower-cost-andr...
  • Excellent Vector episode, one of the best. Well done Rene, please keep up the good work.
