Latest Instacast Update Removes Paid For Features.
The iPod movement passed me by. From the music was and wasn’t just about listening to the music it was about the DJ moments in between the tracks and so, for a while at least, I did without having an iPod.

Some of the best iPad Data Plans Compared
Recently in the podcast I had a good old rant about the lack of proper information when people simply state the new iPad is a data chewer. In the UK we won’t be getting anything like LTE (4g) internet at least until the latter end of 2013.
With that in mind we’ve gone through some of the most popular mobile providers in the uk to compare their data tarrifs to help you understand the deals out there.
