Episode 23 - Nexus Tab Time!

Nexus 7 Tablet - It's selling very well, but will it last? It's high spec, cheap, so will it continue to sell well? Galaxy S3 Custom ROMs. Duncan's been trying them, find out which is his current one, and hear how overwhelming it is having a very popular device! Nothing happening in the Apple world except iPad Mini - Is it coming and will the Nexus Tablet manage to defeat it? Apps/games - Swiftkey - Essential for Android users! 5/5. Let's Create:Pottery (iOS/Android) - Create pottery. Simple. Fun. 4/5. Amazing Alex (iOS/Android) - Rovio returns with a tweaked version of a 2yr old game. Good, but not as game-changing as Angry Birds 3.5/5 [https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiymHPWPLtZN7S3IzM9QIivN6L0cV4T_P98tdRBfDGIR27bZolB_aRiWKbxd9YVKaQEktwiN9Fdjl2CGmTihSPLz3YOUbyU-ruuZhJVST7BWdWkA8TvaX36ZKB3O7eP5j5E-P3pI91BboSq/s320/nexus7.png]https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiymHPWPLtZN7S3IzM9QIivN6L0cV4T_P98tdRBfDGIR27bZolB_aRiWKbxd9YVKaQEktwiN9Fdjl2CGmTihSPLz3YOUbyU-ruuZhJVST7BWdWkA8TvaX36ZKB3O7eP5j5E-P3pI91BboSq/s1600/nexus7.png Download Episode 23 [http://archive.org/download/Episode23-NexusTabletTime/IdroidPodcastEpisode23.mp3] I apologise for the larger file size this episode, I didn't edit on my own pc, so forgot to set  it to 96kbps, but on the upside, you'll hear all the background noise clearer! :s

Episode 19 - Not iDroid Podcast HD, or 'New', just Episode 19

iPad (3), our thoughts on the retina-display model just released. Is it a nail in Android's tablet coffin? Or are you just waiting for the right Tegra 3 tablet to come out? We also discuss news on jailbreaking iOS 5.1 and the 4G in the iPad and battery drain. Samsung Galaxy S3 - Now the iPad is out, the rumours are all about this, quad core? 1900x1200 resolution? Tegra, or not? In May, we shall find out, but we guess as to what it will have inside and out! App reviews - World of Goo (multi) 4/5 Build with Goo! Mass Effect Infiltrator (iOS) 3/5 Pretty, but ultimately unsatisfying shooter, especially for non-Mass Effect players! Friendcaster 3/5 Tweetcaster but for Facebook, great, if you use Facebook! We discuss twitter apps and listen to hear how many apps Mark has for it!
