“Aloha” is an Hawaiian word used both for greeting, or leaving, someone. Aloha is thus a metaphor for both the opportunity and the angst about how to capitalize upon it. That angst many people feel comes when we examine how to publish or develop apps for smartphones and tablets. The Gang discusses the market, tools, and how we all can participate in this mobile digital revolution. (Note: Hawaii as a show theme is brought to you by Steve Borsch, a guy with pent-up desire to be lying on a beach there now).
Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott and Phil Wilson (Graeme Thickins is off today)
Music: Kaimoku & the song “Honolulu Shuffle” from the podsafe Music Alley.
