Extra Extra Hear all about it

Mikey and I talking (I need to join the 12 step group for talkers called ONandON ;<))
We talk about Xbox 360 IPTV, Apples iPhone, Samsung and Qualcomm MediaFLO.

Then Rich (upbeat) Erb gives us his analysis of the stock market.

I then have a great discussion with Link Hoewig of Verizon about the increasing need for bandwidth by end points and the Verizon poliblog.
