Minnov8 Gang 184 – Where’s Julio?

The lines globally for the iPhone are long and Julio Ojeda-Zapata (site; tech column; twitter) was in one at the Uptown Apple Store during the show recording (SB note: Julio does not actually live at the Stillwater State Prison). We talk iPhone 5 (again) but this time the show has a distinct “Apple goofed” theme since the new Apple maps app — and the removal of Google’s Map app as a former strategic Apple partner — is seen as a fundamental and potentially fatal flaw by many.

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins, Phil Wilson and Julio Ojeda-Zapata.
