Great work and I look forward to checking out your future videos!

    There were a few factual errors in this show. I'll point out one for now, and that's tethering. It's not an apple restriction. This restriction is one imposed by AT&T. In Canada, you can tether with your iphone all you like with Rogers.

    Good dialogue on the whole Flash thing – i think the iPad is overrated, but that's why this show is a great because you can really delve into the pros & cons.

    Hi Guys
    Great show! Finally a show that flows nicely and isn't just full of stutters and breaks in the conversation.
    I hope the show continues with the same dynamics. Perhaps an opportunity to take questions or something to pad (no pun intended) out the show should content run a little thin.

    I can’t wait for Leo’s iPad show on the TWiT network. The TWiT network is way better than This Week In
