Featuring Mike Hobbs

The co-hosts included Ashley Esqueda, and Jeff Ammons of Mahalo.

The big news this week was the release of the iPhone 4.

We debuted a new segment this week, the Mobile Standoff, where two phones are compared, and one is chosen as the winner. This week, the Mobile Standoff was between the HTC EVO 4G on Sprint and the latest iPhone, iPhone 4. Ashley, Jeff, Mike, Dave, and Lane covered all hardware and software points. Be sure to watch for the entire comparison and to find out the true winner of this amazing standoff.

We also showed a great parody on the iPhone 4, featuring Jane Lynch. We’re also still looking for sponsors, so contact us at sponsor at thisweekin dot com.

  As a former listener of This Week in Android, I have to say that I am disappointed in this change to TWI-Mobile. I like the Android specific show, because I already have enough general news and mobile podcasts to listen to… It was nice to have just Android news and apps here. Your show was definitely my favourite of the Android-specific shows out there.

  But of course, it is your show… I'm sure it will still be good.

  I'm not sure about other ppl, but (to me) Mike just seemed not interested in other platform until we got mid-show where he start talking about the WWDC/iphone. I just get one of those apple fanboy vibes from him. Then again i usually do the same for android….haha
