01:50 | WELCOME and INTRO:

02:10 | Since Last Time

• Les - Has started a new job and is really enjoying it, he’s also moved away from Ubuntu and is now using Crunchbang Linux (a very lightweight distribution) and spreading the good word to others. He has also been playing around with his Raspberry Pi coupled with Arduino boards to make some interesting projects.
• Tony - Loved his 16Gb WiFi Nexus 7 that he just had to have the 32Gb HSPA + version when it was released just over a week after the last Podcast came out. There were a few teething problems including BBC Iplayer not supporting the Nexus 7 under 4.2 Jelly Bean and sorting out the APN Setting for Giff Gaff. He also attended the amalgamated Preston and Blackpool GeekUp Christmas Meal as did the other members of the Podcast.
• Olly - Ran into his first performance problem with his new Gnomebuntu install, trying to do a multi channel audio project in Audacity cause hard psychical lock-ups. He too hold out any longer and also purchase a Nexus 7 32Gb HSPA + Version like Tony. He also attempted one of the upgrade paths for Linux Mint to take him to 14 “Nadia” however it didn’t go according to plan as there were issues with Virtual Box which baulked the installation and in the end Olly had to do a fresh install.

Jon was supposed to be recording but at the last minute was called away to a teleconference which was related to the sad news that he will no longer be a full time presenter on the show, he will be moving back to New Zealand in the New Year. He may make an appearance on the show from time to time doing features and so on but due to the time difference it isn’t likely to be a regular thing.

26:35 | REVIEW of ASUS Google NEXUS 7

• Tony recently purchase a Asus Google Nexus 7 and shares his first thoughts of living with the device with us.
• Cons:
  

  No option for removable storage

  WiFi only, No 3G or HSPA+

  PC Tethering/Data Transfer doesn’t work out of the box and requires a little tweaking.

• Pros:
  

  Apps for Google Drive and Dropbox available through Google Play make syncing files through WiFi easy

  BBC Iplayer works out of the box using the App in the Play Store.

  Makes a really good E book reader using the Kindle App.

• A better alternative to the Amazon Kindle Fire as it´s not locked into the Amazon Eco System.
