Dear Gadgettes,

While listening to Ep.113 the retro show, you made fun of Steve from
Calgary for not knowing whether he could call the show, but that might
be a telecom issue because in my country I can’t call “1-800″ numbers
without changing the “1-800″ to “1-880″.

Great show! And Brian Tong always seems to cause trouble... but in a good way, of course. Although, thanks to him, we're all going to be very self-conscious about the voice mails we leave :)

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
