I'm interviewed for an hour by Laptop Fu

If you enjoy intelligent and passionate podcast discussions and interviews about mobility, I recommend listening to Alex Reich's Laptop Fu.

Alex’s topics range from the latest laptop news to Microsoft to Kurt Vonnegut to AMD vs Intel, plus much, much more. Interviewees have included Steve Garrity of Microsoft Live, me, and Alex’s Dad.

Alex originally contacted me both in his role as a Windows Mobile software developer and to see if I was interested in being interviewed.

Alex uses a podcast hosting web site, TalkShoe. Podcast fans should check it out as it features live and archived podcasts on an endless variety of subjects.

In the hour long interview Alex and I touched on many, many subjects such as
• What laptop do I use and do I use it on my lap
• Microsoft focus on Smartphone and no more “Pocket PC”
• The beginnings of our company in 1985
• Volunteer experts who write for the magazine
• iPhone and Steve Jobs
• Small town computing
• Why I wouldn’t normally use a cell phone
• Square screens
• Future of mobile computing
• Voice recognition
• My day of rest away from computers
• Push email
• And a lot more

As some of you know, we did a series of podcasts that ended about a year ago. Unfortunately, Diane Dumas, who had the fire to get them going has been ill and no longer works for us on a regular basis. We hope to resume podcasts sometime later this year.

I am interested on your comments about this podcast and whether we should resume them, either below or by emailing me at hal [at] thaddeus [dot] com.
