TOPICS:

  • First thoughts of the Acer W510 Windows 8 tablet / dock. Build quality, specs, performance, usage.
  • Unlocking your phone is now illegal, although a carrier can still do it for you. Good, bad or just silly?
  • Galaxy Note 8.0: looks legit and interesting; particularly because of the speaker at the top. A small tablet with voice, perhaps.
  • Nokia Drive+ comes to other Windows Phones. Does this help Microsoft or Nokia?
  • Nokia announces Nokia Music+ subscription service for Lumia owners

  • Vine for iOS, Twitter video service

  1. We recently added iphone and Galaxy glass only repairs to our line up. The new block on unlocking phones will cost us a few hundred in business a month. We see about 2/3% of our customers asking for the unlock and going to some prepaid carriers. Unlocking was not making us a ton of cash but it was a nice bump.

  50. Good show this week. I have a Samsung ATIV 500 Windows 8 tablet. So far I like it a lot. However, there is one problem that is a big nuisance. When the unit wakes after being asleep it will not reconnect to the WiFi hotspot even when I check the connect automatically block. I get a limited connection notice with no internet connectivity. So the tablet has a problem that is in your face first thing every time you use it – not a good experience. Are you seeing this? Any idea on a fix? Maybe Matt can put the word into MS for an update (please!) Keep up the good work. Also seems like you’ve attracted some robo commenters. :)
