Unfortunately Jon was unable to join me this week but on the positive side I was joined by a very special guess Ed Bott (Blog|Twitter) who attended the recent Microsoft Surface announcement. We last had Ed on the show back in April 2011 (Podcast: TDL Mobile Show 74) so we start by looking back at some of the predictions made during that show.

It’s always great to chat with Ed and we talk about how Microsoft is on the brink of a new Metro era with a strategy that is aligned across Windows 8, Windows Phone 7/8 and we also touch on the SmartGlass features coming to Xbox. Will Microsoft’s big gamble enable them to compete with Apple and Google who currently dominate in the mobile and tablet markets? Listen to this “fast and fluid” episode of TDL Mobile to find out our thoughts.
