Once again I was up in Alaska recording MobileTechRoundup show #233 and as I think you can tell the quality was much better with a new headset I am testing out, the Plantronics .Audio 480. Kevin has a Motorola Xoom Honeycomb tablet so we spent a good part of the beginning of the show discussing this device. I may get one to try next week, if I don’t buy one first. We also chatted about the new Firefox Mobile beta, Windows Phone 7, iPad 2 rumors, smart watches, and my current Words with Friends addiction.

Please let me know if you have any topics you want us to cover on a future show and make sure to join us live each week on Ustream. We find it very helpful to have audience participation where we can address your questions on the show live and have some great participants joining us each week.
