It was an up and down week for Apple this past week as CEO Steve Jobs passed away at too young of an age and in MobileTechRoundup show 247 we started off with some thoughts on what Jobs meant to us and how much he impacted the products in our lives. We then went on to talk about why Kevin and I both ordered iPhone 4S devices. I have a couple of T-Mobile Android phones in hand and gave some initial impressions while Kevin talked about the likelihood that he will get a Samsung Galaxy S II on AT&T. Kevin also encouraged me to check out Minecraft soon on Android.
