Long time NosillaCast Chris Eschweiler of sent in a question about something I said on last week’s show. That is not what we’re going to do this week, however.

Paul and his Android guest James Hart were hilarious – the four of us hit it off immediately. We did the show last week and it was so much fun. I told Paul that I’d be on, and better yet I’d bring an awesome guest to represent Windows Phone, Chris Ashley of the SMR Podcast. He has 3 guests each time, one each representing iOS, Android and Windows Phone. Turns out Paul has a relatively new show on the British Tech Network called The Pocket Show. He introduced me to a stellar guy, Paul Wheatley from Scotland. When I was at Macworld I had the pleasure of meeting Ewen Rankin in real life, head of the British Tech Network.
