It’s only a matter of time before Google starts to feel that it should exert more pressure on its device manufacturing partners. In fact, this is happening right now (for reasons I’ll get into). I’ll posit that ODM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers) need Google more than Google
I love Instacast. It’s the best podcasting app that’s available for iOS as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been a fan of it since day one too, and this 2.0 release certainly does not disappoint. Here’s the thing: since Apple has no infrastructure in
