Mobility Today Podcast #128

Sorry you feel that way. We are not going to be a news aggregator unfortunately. Our podcast isn't specific to Windows Mobile but if you are following WM you will see a lot of people are upset..

Thanks for you years of listening.

One less podcast listener.

As of today, I am unsubscribing from the Mobility Today podcast. This is a big move, as I have been listening to you since the Dave's iPaq podcast days.

Back then, I lstened to learn how people were using there devices to make their live easier. I also was interested in hardware, but it was the software, the tips and tweaks, etc. that I found of greatest value.

I have found the most recent Mobility Today podcasts to be almost devoid of content. They have turned into hour-long rants by you about Microsoft and HTC.

At this point, my guess is they aren't listening to you. So just give up on them. Stop the rants, let it go and do some reporting.

And, I would suggest, talk about how you, your panel, and your listeners use their devices. How do they integrate their devices with work and home lives. How do they integrate them with services like Evernote, Backpack and other "cloud computing"/Web 2.0 apps.

BTW, I currently am a Nokia smartphone user. There are things I like, things I don't, but it meets my needs. My guess is i would have the same reaction to almost any smartphone you give me. My guess is that most of your users would feel the same.

Perhaps the way to get HTC and Microsoft to start paying attention is to give their competitors some airtime on the podcast. Sure, Nokia isn't a big player in the US. Maybe they could become bigger if you learned something about their devices and talked about them on your show.

I'll check back every once in a while, see if the podcasts have changed more to my liking. If they do, I'll be back.
