How many hands does it take to stay connected with your mobile device? Vernon and guest host David Kimball discuss the "hand discussion", based off of a recent poll which showed some surprising results! They also talk about the new Microsoft apps coming to Android and iOS, and some of the great apps that have recently arrived in the Windows Phone Store. They begin a new segment: Twitter Tip, which helps you get the most out of your Twitter profile. As always, the hosts share their personal app, music, and podcast picks!
