Good ep. Eric, you should be on ‘got Talent’, definitely.
Streaming audiobooks…. kinda wierd.. what heppens when you lose service? And forget it on a touch..
Reading books, though… take a look at Stanza.
Cheers, from the UK.

The Palm Exec is trying to do the popular girl thing where you pretend not to know people names who are unpopular. But he is not a hot girl so EPIC FAIL! durp!

I have an iPod Touch, and so I hate Starhawk! Naw, not really. I just have to use Evernote on my iPod to note the camera apps for when I upgrade to an iPhone. Great job as usual guys, Keep up the good work.

You mentioned the Recorder app but can you be more specific?
I searched in the app store but there are a whole load of Recorder apps all called Recorder or some such variant and the app that is just called Recorder is advertised as being for recording phone calls and has functionality that only works in the US.
Thanks in advance.

Now I’ve bought Voice Band, but the microphone on my headphone for my iPod touch sucks baloney . Particularity, it captures to much ambient sound, so every crackle of my clothing, creaking of wood, clocks ticking, translates to a guitar doing weird stuff. Which is disappointing.

Re: iPhone tethering. It isn’t Apple’s fault that this doesn’t work in the US. Tethering works out of the box already in many places, e.g., Europe (I regularly use tethering in Portugal — it rocks). This is an AT&T thing.

Just to whet your appetite: before I got cable internet set up in Portugal, I played WoW in my apartment over iPhone tethering via bluetooth. On the Uldum server, in the US. Surprisingly little lag.
