I'll stick with the palm cast over the drone cast, no offense

When are you going to have Derek on?

Will listen when there's more webOS & Derek involved.

Not interested. Thanks anyway. When's the next Palmcast?

Once there's some relevant webOS news t mix in with the others, then I'll likely tune in. Hopefully, that will start with their next podcast.

Why was PreCentral not represented in the first mobile-nations pod cast? I listened to the pod cast and when the hosts mentioned webOS they had nothing good to say about it at all, we needed a webOS representative to be there!

In the past, Dieter would've been there.

My guess it's because Derek probably doesn't know the other platforms well enough at this point to be worthwhile.

We all know webOS is the best! I didn't even listen to it because I knew it was either going to bash webOS or not represent it the way it needs to be. Come on HP pick up the advertisement and take the mobile OS Nation by storm!

I enjoyed this podcast. Yeah, webOS wasn't represented in this podcast, which is unfortunate. I love webOS as much as the next guy, but I'm also interested in what's going on in the rest of the mobile space. Mobile Nations seems like any easy way to get an update without going too far out of my way.

what are you guys doing?!
will not repeat the comments of many before me...
if this is not webOS or there is no representation of it in it... not interested...

I listen to it for a few minutes and they were talking about multitasking and not once did they mention WEBOS...

I will not listen to it nor do I want it in this website.

I think this is a great idea! interesting talk, although some serious audio quality issues to work through.

I would love to see some better unification of the smartphone experts network in general. A unified site design for all the sites (lets face it, none of them are great), with unified login for commenting/forums would be awesome. And a smartphone experts site itself that aggregates the biggest stories from all the sites would be awesome.

Don't take the negative comments too seriously. Two posts per week about the smartphone experts network is fine, and people only interested in webOS can simply not read/listen to those posts, and people like me who are interested in smartphones in general would put a lot more traffic to all the sites.
