Voicemail

  • Samuel Strickland: Based off what we saw at Google I/O, do you believe that Google’s vision of the future for Android is similar to that of Apple’s for iOS? And if so, how will Apple stay ahead of Google in that regard?

Reviews

  • Thanks goes out to jmhanna75 and dmtammaro for the 5-star reviews it iTunes

For those asking, we took an additional week off to line our show dates up closer to WWDC with a recap show the following week.

We are just 4 weeks away from our WWDC predictions show. We will be having a prediction contest between panel members and listeners. More details to come as we get closer to Apple’s grand event. But there will be a give-a-way that will include a $20 iTunes card as well as iPhone and iPad accessories so stay tuned for that.

Last Week’s Listener Feedback Question

Does Apple need to be more social in iOS 7.0? Or leave it to apps?

Last Week’s Listener Feedback Question

What is the most important feature you most want to see on a wearable computing device from Apple?

  • @SamDakArk tweets: It'd be awesome to use an iWatch as a iTunes/Apple TV remote. Similar (but hopefully faster) to the Remote app, obvious stuff is the most important though. Notifications, Siri, ect.

This Week’s Roundtable/Listener Feedback Question

Are Apps dead?  Does Apple have to go “social” with the next version of iOS?

iOSDocked Show Notes

Episode #: 041

Date: 04/01/13

Hosts: Joe Lombardo, Clay Russell, Jerry Goldbaum, Jordan Patterson and Donny Benfield 

Site News and Giveaways

You may notice we have a new retina ready iOSDocked iTunes friendly logo for the podcast. We say iTunes friendly because our actual logo has a drawing of a device that looks too much like an iPhone and Apple has made it clear that they don’t like it when people create things that look like their things. If you like the new logo for the iTunes podcast feed, let us know. If you don’t, let us know and I will get Jordan to fix our old one to meet the the new artwork specifications in iTunes. Either way, we would like for our listeners to tweet us a vote. If you use a 3rd party podcast player that allows you to use custom artwork and you would like to use our website logo for the podcast, tweet me and I will send it over to you.
