Episode 30 of the everythingiCafe podcast I co-host with Chris Meinck is now available for download through iTunes, or as usual you can listen to it right here using the audio player embedded above.
We talked about the latest iPhone 5 rumors, focusing on the most recent one from the Wall Street Journal claiming a “thinner and lighter” iPhone 5 (not simply an upgraded iPhone 4 dubbed the 4S or something similar) will debut in September. We also talked about a dubious iPad 2 rumor, Verizon’s new tiered data plans and the recent release of a jailbreak for the iPad 2 and other iOS devices running 4.3.3.
My “Teh Awesome” items this week were 2 iPhone apps: Plants vs. Zombies by Popcap Games and the recently-revamped Starbucks app. I know – I’m always late to get to some very popular games (I didn’t try Angry Birds until it had already been in the App Store for more than a year) and apparently the wildly popular Plants vs. Zombies was no exception. It’s been far more entertaining than I was expecting. Not to mention that I love zombies. Well, not “love” as in “strong, affectionate feelings” – I will happily shoot them in Left 4 Dead or any other game that allows me to inflict damage on the brain-eating fiends so Plants vs. Zombies is right up my alley (even though pea-shooting plants are less exciting than auto-loading shotguns in the end).
We’ll record the next episode next Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. ET and you can join us live for the recording at everythingicafe.com/live. We also welcome questions about anything Apple-related – you can call 646-820-3431 and leave your name and your question and we’ll play it on the air and answer it.
