Vector 29: Microsoft's new CEO and Lenovo's new Moto
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.

It seems to be there now! Ben's been on a couple times before, so be sure to check the archives:
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.
