Welcome to Episode 37 of the Observed Tech PODCAST where we wrap up our CES 2012 coverage. In this show we try out a slightly different format to spend more time discussing fewer items from the tech news world and introduce our new opportunity to influence show content by using the hashtag #observedtech on Twitter. If you tweet us a question or comment and use that hashtag we will incorporate that info into the next episode of Observed Tech. We also mention the unofficial official news of moving to produce two episodes of the Observed Tech podcast each week. That move will allow us to do the things we are trying out in this episode of the show. This episode is mostly about CES 2012 and some of the hardware and services highlights that I found interesting. There is also news about my hosting issues for the site and the upcoming WindowsObserver Windows Phone 7 App being built by Neuralnet Systems. As usual we wrap up with a look at the past week on WindowsObserver.com so check out the notes below for links to all the sources. . . .
