Umm, Can touch this is a iPhone/Ipod TouchAPP podcast with different dudes talk about apps better than us.

We just give a different opinion on iPhone apps and Mac Apps that have taken our fancy, but where more suckier at it

I say get all three podcast and be happy

I think it's a legit cross promotion of the other podcast. And you get anther hour of MacTalk podcaster wit & perspective, a week…

Also, very pleased to hear Anthony talk about the value of Macworld/trade shows in general and what the loss of Apple and (the last big) Macworld is to the Mac community, whether we're in the 'business' or not. What benefits Anthony and everyone in the 'business', benefits the 'user' community, too. We're all connected, man (hippy music starts playing).

Maybe MacTalk could 'organise' an Australian Mac unconference, where everyone in the Australian Mac business/community can meetup IRL for a few days - nothing fancy or expensive and hopefully, little to no cost to MacTalk.

I'm going to take that as a compliment - Thanks Alex!

...and even though some of the apps are the same, most of them aren't. Besides, it's good to hear other opinions!
