I spoke with AnchorFree CEO and Co-Founder David Gorodyansky about the firm’s free ad-support Virtual Private Network (service)…
Clients software for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X are provided free to use with their VPN service. The service also works with an iPhone without requiring any software installation. The iPhone’s native VPN can be configured to work with the service.
I was very skeptical of the service before speaking with David. But, I developed a level of comfort after speaking with him and am running their software and using their service on my Asus Eee PC 1000HA netbook running Windows 7 Beta.

…is up on Apple’s iTunes U. I subscribed to it myself and hope to learn a thing or two (hopefully more). Note that since this is a video recording of a lecture, each video podcast file is rather large. the first one is 469.2MB.
Podcasts prior to March 20, 2009 had their information archived on MobileAppsToday.com. However, when it and MobileDevicesToday.com were closed and redirected to MobileContentToday.com (where I still contribute daily blog posts), the podcast archive was lost. So, I’m reposting pre-March 20 podcasts here to help people rediscover a number of really interesting podcasts.
This one was recorded on January 16, 2009 with Joel Comm. Joel is the producer of the iFart Mobile app for the iPhone that hit #1 in the Apple iTunes paid app list during the 2008 holiday season and remained there for 22 days.
