The guys start off with an eBay Australia Group Deal on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the current flagship Google branded Android phone, which is the handset variant that will work on all networks in Australia, and is AT&T compatible in the US. The guys talk about carrier exclusivity for mobile phone handsets, as well as some other phones such as the Nokia Lumia, one of the new Windows Phone 8 devices, which has been promised for quite a while, yet still to hit the market.

The guys are joined by Bryan Auer and Rich O’Neil for show 69 of The Home Tech Podcast.
The guys start off learning some about the lead recycling business that Bryan works in, with Bryan telling us how lead-acid batteries, and other lead containing products are recycled into re-usable components.
Jim and Bryan take a trip down technology’s memory lane, back to the days of the Commodore Pet, and the Timex Sinclair 1000
Jim talks about the recent updates to Google Plus, with the interface being revised, making the service easier to navigate, and simpler to use. There are also some nice new features such as the ability to broadcast a Google Hangout, rather than using a third party service like Live Stream. The guys discuss some of the newly accessible features such as simplification of photo uploading, and the introduction of games to Google Plus.
