Saved By The Cell

Host: Peter Cassy Wright Jolly 11/18/1981 – 3/25/2012 It is with a very sad and heavy heart that I reflect on the passing of my co-host Cassy Wright Jolly (aka Cassdroid). She was a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister; but to me she was someone I talked about cell phones and tablets with each week for an hour and some change. She was really only supposed to be on the show for one episode as a guest but for some reason she enjoyed it and kept coming back each week. She brought her love of Android and the Android community to each and every show and made sure that the listeners and I knew her thoughts and view points on the various topics we discussed over the last 6 months. Cassy had a big heart and loved her family very much. I feel blessed to have known her and to have had the opportunity to share this podcast with her. All of my thoughts are with her family and friends during this trying time.

Hosts: Peter and Cassdroid. This episode marked the 1 year anniversary of the launch of Saved by the Cell. It was our first announced and scheduled LIVE show and we had some great chat room discussions going on during the broadcast. We talked about the FAA reexamining the use of portable electronic devices during take off and landing, Google trying to use its wallet to increase Google Wallet adoption, and a ton of rumors that are most likely untrue. We partnered with Rovio to coincide the launch of Angry Birds Space and Saved By The Cell’s 1 year anniversary so we thank them for that (OK so it was just a coincidence). We did however get a visit from The Angry Bird at Cassy’s house which fired the chat room up and made for some great LIVE moments. Be sure to tell all your friends about the show and keep on listening LIVE every Thursday evening or listen to the new podcast every Friday.

Hosts: Peter and Cassdroid. This week we did an unscheduled live show. I think that the test went well and we got some participants involved in the experience. We discussed Verizon’s 4G home internet service, Windows Phone Tango’s ‘official name’, how an iPhone/iPad found 780 pounds of meth and we give an update on what is going on with the man who sued AT&T in small claims court. Please listen in to next week’s show which marks the 1 year anniversary of Saved By The Cell! As soon as we lock down what time we will be doing the broadcast next week we will let you all know about it so you can participate in the NEW Saved By The Cell Live Show.

Hosts: Peter, Cassdroid and BK Jolly. This week we cover a ton of mobile news and take a little break to discuss the latest episode of SNL where Verizon’s 4G LTE network gets poked fun of. Peter also goes off on a music tangent to promote Karmin who was the music guest on the same SNL episode. We talk about the FCC killing LightSquared’s LTE aspirations, how even FOX News is calling out AT&T on their crazy data plan and price hikes, when Android 5.0 will be coming out, and how Apple has more money than you. All and all it is a fun episode where we talk in depth about what’s going on in the mobile world.

Hosts: Peter, Cassdroid, D Hacker and BKJolly. This week we talk about the Google Wallet vulnerabilities that can easily be avoided by turning on PIN or other lock screen security, or by not losing your phone. We are joined by two guests D Hacker who is working hard on bringing ICS to the Droid Razr and Droid Bionic and BK Jolly who is a developer that has been on the show before. We all discuss the influence of the iPhone on carrier profits, whether consumers would have a better experience if there were more carriers or less carriers, and a really cool app that all hipsters should have called Transparent Screen. Somewhere in the middle of the episode we get into a Jaws like scar comparison scene comparing our data usage for the month and it leads to a mathematical blunder that could only happen while recording a podcast late at night. Just for clarification if you were to download 10GB of data a month for 8.3 years you would use 1TB of data. If you did that for 83.3 years you would download 10TB of data. Math error corrected! D Hacker’s ICS ROMs for The Bionic and Razr can be found at www.mydroidworld.com or www.droidrzr.com Please remember that at this point these ROMs are Alpha and not all features will work as it is a work in progress.

Hosts: Peter and Cassdroid. This week’s episode is so jam packed with content you’d have to be crazy to fall asleep and miss a second. If you are a developer, we give you some information on how to get your hands on a free Blackberry Playbook and we guarantee you that you will not get “iPad Shoulder” pain while using it. We cover a ton of rumors surrounding Windows Phone 8, a release date for the iPhone 5 and some new Android devices. The subject of cell phone tracking on kids and carriers is discussed and Google+ has discovered that Cassdroid is not Cassy’s birth name. We’d tell you more about the episode, but we feel it’d be best if you just listened to it.

Hosts: Peter, Cassdroid and JW Tyler. This week the SBTC crew is joined by author and technology enthusiast JW Tyler. Since our guest has lots of knowledge about Google’s recent announcement regarding App Inventor being transitioned to MIT and the open source community we talk at length about that topic.
