TDH – The Three-way Battle | the digital hazard

This week on the show, we talk almost equally about Microsoft’s Windows Phone OS, Google’s Android OS and Apple’s iOS. Google’s IO developer conference was this week, and you wouldn’t believe the stuff they gave away. Note to self, go to IO 2013…. Probably a pre-recorded show next week, but you should still look forward to it.
