I nearly fell off my couch when I started listening to That Android Show and Triple Click Home. These are really some of the best shows you guys and gals have done. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Greg Wocher(Your friendly neighborhood BlindMan) :) From Tony: What a great job on episode28, lots of voices, snappy pace, and what made the episode for me were the drop INS. The app demonstrations are a great addition, and the app developer interview was so relevant. My hope is that this is the trend. All the best, Tony Another from Tony: Would you please consider discussing what closing an app really means? For instance, why is it that when I close Pandora, TuneIn, Hourly News, and other audio apps, once closed through the App Switcher, if I do a double finger double tap, audio resumes. Are the apps closed or just resting? Are they eating up battery life? Why bother closing them? If they have a stop button, isn’t that as effective as closing them? Doesn’t seem so. The only way I find to really put them to sleep is by turning off my phone. What’s up with that? Thanks, Tony From Jenine: Very nice guest hosts of TCH this time and love the app demos from Steve and Ana. Those are a fun addition and I grabbed Google Search which I wasn’t using and learned more about Google Maps which I was using but not lately. OK, so do you guys have any un-fun hosts at Serotalk? :) Jenine Stanley Wrapping Up Why your iOS device may be a better cable box than the Apple TV Apple Store employees switching from iPod touch to iPhone 5s for EasyPay POS system My Life Without A Smartphone Contacting the Team
