  • Mini-Podcast 11: HTC Touch Pro2 Voice Notes Recording Sound Quality Sample

    The T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2 is a Windows Mobile 6.1 touch screen smartphone. It comes bundled with a voice recording app called, reasonably enough, Voice Notes. I used it to record this brief (1 minute 10 seconds) Mini-podcast 11 to give you an idea of its recording sound quality. I think it sounds reasonably good although there is noticeable audio compression that gives it a kind of AM radio sound quality to it.

    This mini-podcast was recorded in a reasonably quiet room. I’ll test recording a mini-podcast outdoors to see if the Touch Pro2 might be a useful tool for on-the-spot interviews/conversations for future podcasts.

  • Podcast 33: FloTV Streaming TV Programs-Jonathan Barzilay, Head of Programming

    In Podcast 33 I spoke with FloTV‘s Head of Programming, Jonathan Barzilay, about what FloTV delivers (streaming commercial video), what it delivers it to (phones with special hardware to receive the programming), how it is delivered (the old/former UHF channel 55 spectrum), and the oddity (to me) of the new 1 to 2pm mobile TV viewing prime time.

  • Podcast 32: INRIX TRAFFIC! Real-time & Predictive Traffic Information Free for Your iPhone

    INRIX President and CEO, Bryan Mistele about the firms recently released free iPhone app…

    INRIX TRAFFIC!

    TRAFFIC! provides real-time traffic information based on continuous feedback from commercial vehicles like taxis and fleet trucks. It also is able to take data from the new free consumer iPhone app (if the app is running in the foreground). I asked Bryan about the app’s accuracy, privacy and its unique traffic forecasting feature. I learned about INRIX’s fascinating traffic information services and the benefits of using their free iPhone app during my conversation with Bryan. I encourage you to listen to the podcast. I think you’ll find his information interesting too.

  • Mini-Podcast 10: iPhone OS 3.0 Update

    I updated my iPhone 3G to iPhone OS 3.0 and decided to try out the new Voice Memos app to record a mini-podcast. I apologize for the exceptionally poor sound quality. I didn’t realize that it would be so poor. I have a number of other rude OS 3.0 shocks that I discovered after recording this mini-podcast. Rants to follow later…
