Observed Tech PODCAST Episode 166 #OTP

Welcome to Episode 166 of Observed Tech. This is another one of those shows that is jam packed full of Windows 10 goodness since we have now seen two new builds in the last 9 days and three since late April. You will hear about my recent experience with Windows Hello and logging into my Windows 10 machines with my fingerprint and I have a lot of info relating to Microsoft Band and the prospect of a version 2 edition coming later this year. Scattered throughout the show are other items such as Cortana to iOS and Android, inking with the HP Spectre x360, using the BLU Win HD LTE as a daily driver and a Google I/O keynote that failed to mention Windows Phone or Microsoft once in three hours. Until next time enjoy the show and thanks for listening.
