Illegal phone unlocking, Acer Windows 8, Galaxy Note 8 (MobileTechRoundup show #288)

January is just about over and the quiet before the storm is as well with lots of mobile news hitting in February. Kevin and I were still able to find current topics in mobile tech to chat about in MobileTechRoundup show #288. 

Topics in this show included:

• Unlocking your phone is now illegal, although a carrier can still do it for you. Good, bad or just silly?
• Galaxy Note 8.0: looks legit and interesting; particularly because of the speaker at the top. A small tablet with voice, perhaps.
• Nokia Drive+ comes to other Windows Phones. Does this help Microsoft or Nokia?
• Nokia announces Nokia Music+ subscription service for Lumia owners
• Vine for iOS, Twitter video service
• First thoughts of the Acer W510 Windows 8 tablet / dock. Build quality, specs, performance, usage.

Running time: 57 minutes
