Season 4 of the 361 Degrees Podcast: Apple, Maps & Rafe’s 6-year rule

Whoosh! I’m delighted to say that the 361 Degrees mobile podcast is back. We’re now in our fourth season and there’s a lot to cover since the end of the third season. Here we go…

We’re back! Late… but back.

This week we catch-up on all the Apple news and ponder whether their recent maps problems show the ‘perfect’ image is beginning to slip. Back in season 2 we’d asked if Apple was the new Nokia… Not because they are suffering the same OS problems, but because eventually firm’s past decisions begin to catch-up with them. Was the rushed tie-up with Google Maps before the original iPhone launch now hiding some unexpected down-sides? Cumulatively are the issues for consumers reaching the levels it will deter some buyers? If not now, how soon?

As ever, we’d love your views…

There are lots of ways to follow or subscribe to the Podcast using iTunes and other popular services.
