I used a LiveScribe Pulse Smartpen to record this by placing one of its two stereo headbud\/microphones in the ear that I held my phone over. This is instead of using Skype to make the call. So, this podcast&#8217;s audio quality is definitely a step below my usual podcast. But, it gives me more flexibility in scheduling podcasts.<\/p>\n<p>My old friend Frank McPherson (Windows Mobile expert who has been using Android phones for the past 13 months) and I planned to speak for only 5 to 10 minutes to create basically a sound check podcast. But, it is impossible for the two of us to start talking about mobile tech for just a short while. So, this &#8220;mini&#8221; podcast turned into an 18 minute 38 second long one &#8211; longer than some of my regular guest podcasts. So, this really should have been Podcast 38. But, I&#8217;ll leave it with its current designation.<\/p>\n<p>In Maxi-Mini-Podcast 16, Frank and I talk about Android related topics. Originally, the plan was for me to live vicariously through Frank&#8217;s Android experiences. However, I bought a Motorola Droid this past weekend. So, this podcast and ones to follow may be more of a expert (Frank) &#8211; novice (me) type discussions.<\/p>\n<p>Frank and I briefly catch up on his T-Mobile G1 experience and his upgrade to the myTouch 3G in August. We also touch on the few days of experience I have with the Moto Droid. You can find Frank&#8217;s blog at&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/frankmcpherson.com\">http:\/\/frankmcpherson.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, how&#8217;s the audio quality? Bearable for a short (under 20 minutes) podcast?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; You can listen to the podcast right now from your web browser by using the embedded player above.<br \/>\n&#8211; You can also subscribe to the podcast in <a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewPodcast?id=301171904\">iTunes<\/a> or this <a href=\"http:\/\/mobiletoday.podbean.com\/feed\/\">RSS feed<\/a>.<br \/>\n&#8211; You can also point your smartphone&#8217;s browser at <a href=\"http:\/\/mobiletoday.podbean.com\">mobiletoday.podbean.com<\/a> to listen to or download the MP3 file over the air to your phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Powered by Podbean.com Mini-Podcast 16 started out as a podcasting recording experiment.
