aNewDomain.net — Time for another MobileViews Podcast, with me and Jon Westfall. In this podcast (number 99!) we speculate on what Apple will announce on October 16 and focus on its teaser tag line: “It’s been way too long.” We also talk about connected health devices like the Fitbit, an interesting update for Google’s Chromecast and offer a few tips and products picks. Listen below.
