#07 – Think To The Turkey
March 5, 2012
Synopsis: On the 7th edition of The Impromptu, we get down to the nitty gritty on the limits and prospects for Apple’s iOS App Store. Are incentives and corporate culture allowing Apple to marginalize issues with poor quality apps, fraud and developer interest? Did Dropbox make a mistake not selling to Apple? And hey, we all agree that Gamestop and related sideshow acts suck, but why? Finally, Michael fawns (or not) over his new Lumia 710.
Duration: 1:27:52
Present: Dan, Michael, Adam, Shadoe, Steve
