Minnov8 Gang 308 – Not an Apple Watch

We recorded this show at Minnebar, a 1,000+ strong attended technology event held at the headquarters of Best Buy. Yep…we talk about the Apple Watch which, unfortunately, will cause Graeme to ditch his trusty 1978 vintage Timex.  😉

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Graeme Thickins, Phil Wilson & Julio Ojeda-Zapata (Tim Elliott is off).
