This week’s GeekWire Podcast is a little different — a technology reporters’ roundtable featuring special guests Tricia Duryee of AllThingsD and Wilson Rothman of msnbc.com. They join me in the studio to talk about the biggest tech headlines of the week, including iPhone location tracking, the latest enhancements to the Kindle, Google Android, the Amazon Web Services debacle, and more.
In our final segment we give the answer to last week’s Name that Tech Tune contest. Congrats to everyone who got the right answer — the Commodore 64. If you emailed me your mailing address along with the correct response, you’ll be getting a limited edition GeekWire laptop sticker in the mail.
Here’s the MP3 file for this week’s show.
