I haven't listened back yet, however I could've ranted a whole lot lot more about Telstra vs. the rest... but then gave up and turned into a moody bitch for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!

Am I alone in enjoying Lauren's voice on the podcast?

Considering the previous positive feedback, no, I don't think you are!

Has there been positive feedback about me?

I don't know, I alternately think I sound like I'm 10 years old, or sound like my mum.



Edit: I mean, thanks for the compliment, Huy!

it was very good podcast!

Can Lauren become a permanent podcaster ? I like her opinions and she brings something new.

Hehehe, dude it was quite entertaining, all I remember is it ending with something to the effect of "And the copy and paste only works between text fields so if you want to copy a phone number or part of a text message it's USELESS"

Lauren is fabulous, but then everybody is fabulous. I'm just wondering how many times I can say fabulous in the one post about this fabulous podcast. Did I mention it was fabulous?

We love Lauren and she does sound a lot hotter than the rest of us.

Except for MAYBE Phase

I enjoyed this week's podcast, despite the fairly dry content.

Lauren brings something fairly different to the mix - I think we're a little better behaved with a girl in the room and this can only be a good thing.


There's an idea kicking around of an 'up late' version of the podcast. Who knows if it'll take off but it sure would be interesting

I've noticed this too but it kind of bugs me - I'm pretty sure I'm not coming in with a boring, dry and uptight approach but the last month or so the podcasts have all been pretty on-topic and not fun or ranty enough. Still good though, what I've listened back to.

A little self-discipline's not bad but I hope it's just cause you don't know me that well, and not cause I'm a girl. Because eventually we'll get over it and you'll realise I have more balls than the lot of you!

ahh guys... not sure if this is the best place to post this.

But on the podcast someone said that in the current 3.0 you CANT do voice dialing via BT and just letting you know that that is incorrect.

I have been doing it with my Moto HS850 and it works fine. Not as accurate as the Voice control right from the iphone via pushing and holding the HOme button, but still works.
