This week we have a bit of a diversion as we talk Portable Media Center devices with Garry Whittaker.
We look at Windows Mobile 5 and how that impacts Portable Media Centers, the new Samsung phone and Gary watched the XBOX 360 launch.
We also talked about some common questions Garry has been asked, including remote control problems and S3 sleep mode problems.
