Trying to stream from the app but only get end of the year podcast...
-
Dunno, I tried it on two phones and the latest plays on both.
-
I was having the same problem. It was playing the podcast from January 12. I had to press the next button a couple times to get the February 8 podcast.
-
So the app tries to resume from the last position you were listening on :) I'm going to write in a little reset or resume prompt there to make it more useable :)
-
Btw, they didn't rewrite the wp7 kernel. Wp7 uses the CE7 kernel, so no starting from scratch
-
where is the video?
-
Lost in a fire. Actually, something with corrupted videos, hamsters and Rene's Mac not cooperating :-/ Should be back for the next podcast, sorry.

You guys are using Macs? Why not iPhones while you are at it? Just give apple more money so they know we love all their crazy lock in ideas...
-
