HD H.264 content on the ipod makes a nice fantasy, but let’s not forget that h.264 takes quite a bit of horsepower to decode at HD resolutions. I don’t think we’ll see that kind of power in an ipod sized device any time in the next few years.

Love the show, but are show notes published anywhere? Particularly I was looking for links to all of the websites you guys recommended.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for another entertaining show, it’s good to hear you discuss mac issues ‘live’ as you draw new conclusions after bouncing ideas off one another.
My only gripe is the lack of shownotes. I listen while driving so can’t really jot things down so it’d be good to be able to come to the site for the show notes, especially when you guys list things like your favourite Mac news sites.
Keep up the good work.

I include macsurfer.com in my arsenal of Mac news sites. The nice thing about it is it links to some of the more obscure and off-beat news items not covered by the other sites.

Great show fellas. I wanted to comment on the Tablet PC discussion you had towards the end of the podcast. I just wanted to say that I purchased an Acer TravelMate C310 Tablet PC for my wife a year ago because she is a Technology consultant for a firm here in MN. She does use it as her primary PC and uses the tablet features a lot. Being a consultant she spends a lot of time in meetings and facilitating those meetings. She brings her tablet so she can document the meeting using MS OneNote and when she is done she can easily convert the handwriting to an email or Word document and send it out to the attendees of the meeting. She loves it. Another excellent use for the Tablet PC is in education. This dawned on my 2 nights ago when my wife asked me to review a the presentation she had put together. I was looking at the slides and while she was looking over me shoulder she saw a type-o, grabbed the stylus, drew a circle around the error so she could go back when I was done reviewing it and change it. A Tablet PC would be a wonderful tool for teachers to have for marking up papers for online universities. My wife is completing her Masters in Technology Management from the University of Phoenix online and she is constantly submitting Word docs for the professor to review. I would imagine it would make their time a lot more efficient to be able to mark it up with a Tablet PC, save it out as a PDF and shoot it back to the student.
Anyway, that is my 2 cents and I thought you would like a real world example of a Tablet PC user. I told my wife that as soon as Apple releases there tablet PC she will be retiring the Acer. I hope it becomes reality.

Hey guys! You are sounding even better this week.
It is really interesting to hear more personal topics! Note to Joseph: I also use NetVibes.com, and I love it. I find it gives me more time to actually read all the blogs I want. I can view all the articles on one page, I find it more organized than a RSS Reader.
Maybe on a future show, you can talk about the specific computer systems you use, or have used in the past.
Love the show! Keep going!

I would love to have show notes for this podcast to have a sort of “hard copy” with hot links to all the great resources that you guys shared.
Great conversation – Thanks a lot!!!

This is the second time I’ve listened and I enjoyed it very much. I like the different opinions etc. I’ve listened to Adam for a long time and now I’ve added all of you to my itunes subscriptions. Keep up the good information.

Guys fantastic show!
Any chance of getting a little more comprehensive show notes on the site? i.e. I was listening on the way to work and wanted to check the websites you mentioned on todayâ??s show and was hoping you had links on your show notes !
Keep up the fantastic work you all do on all the podcasts you work on –

You all mentioned a lot of excellent web sites in this broadcast. Any way that you could post a summary of those lists here? Would make a great reference. Thanks.

Hello,
Enjoy your podcasts, individually and together, but would really like to see show notes for the round table. This episode in particular had great websites mentioned. Would have been great to see a page with all of those links.
Thanks again!
