Topics in this Podcast:

Is this too much OS for Google’s own good? On its side of the fence, Apple has been battling SMS security woes and taking flack about the iPhone app approval process. Is Apple’s smug behavior a throwback to Microsoft in the 1990’s, and will it go down the same path? The panel debates.
