Rather than recording from my recent location of Alaska for MobileTechRoundup show #236 Kevin found me relaxing on the balcony of my hotel room in Maui. The show is a bit shorter this week while I was on vacation, but since it has been a couple of weeks we figured it was time to record a show. In this episode you can hear us talking about the WiFi Android tablets that are now showing up, Kevin’s new mobile gadget, the Nook Color, my ThunderBolt purchase, and the Nokia Astound we both have to evaluate at the moment. We also responded to some audience comments and questions along the way.

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.

In any mobile tech roundup I would consider mentioning the new Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset. What could be more fun that listening to your twitter feed read back to you while you drive to work on a dreary Monday morning. (www.drinkfrom.com)

Guys cut down on the banter give more facts, details. Like, tell me which tablets can run Photoshop or a 3-D program like Blender.
