iOSDocked - EP010 Beta - Lost & Found (Explicit)

The iOSDocked Crew is not perfect. Just like Android, we have our flaws. This was one of those times. We had just recorded Episode 10 of the iOSDocked podcast. We were excited as this was an Apple event recap show and we had lots to talk about. When it came time to edit the show early the next day, the show had disappeared into thin air only to resurface several weeks after re-recording the same show. Yeah, I could have thrown the file away, but sometimes it's important to take a moment to reflect. So here it is folks. This is the ORIGINAL episode 10 in it's entirety. Please take note of the *Explicit* tag on this show. I could have taken the time to edit but I really don't think anyone will be listening anyway. But just in case, enjoy.

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.
