You improved a lot from the very first version...

Maybe can you improve on your microphone and make the sound all the way equally loud? the short videos in between blew my head away often enough while you seem to whisper in comparison.

More footage would still be nice!!

BTW, I don't think the merge of mobile and desktop platforms is new... but Apple just pushes it a lot. I won't bother as long as it works ;)

(especially with Magic Trackpad Lion rocks!)

First time viewing your "brief." I like the simple format. One suggestion: use a simple and fast transition to cut between shots. Keep up the good work.

@AndroidAshley Thanks Ashley for making my Monday so much better. I have been a huge fan of yours since the this week in Android days. I think very highly of you and I value your opinion very much Keep up the great work and NEVER let thoes Apple fans get you down.

Loved the webOS analogy. Too true.

@lnx1138 Just curious, did you want her to say it as OS "ex" "dot" "vee eye eye"? That's how it would be pronounced, but it is still OS 10...aka OS X. I've never meant someone who called it OS "TEN" in my life.

[AndroidAshley]

@lnx1138 S'all good. I get that a lot. If you follow me on Twitter, it becomes apparent pretty quickly that I truly enjoy the mobile space. I find it all quite exciting, to be honest. :) It's like a mega soap opera of tiny technology!

@AndroidAshley My apologies for the spokesmodel statement.

[AndroidAshley]

@killab6420 Yeah -- I think it's really interesting how dramatic Windows 8's changes are. Even though they still hold a commanding portion of the desktop market... they're still making this sweeping changes to Win8.

Then again, I do like Metro, so it'll be interesting to see how Win8 is received by the masses. What I want to know is if monitors are going to completely go touchscreen, or if they'll do a huge partnership with HP to bring their touchscreen PCs as a major buying point...

[AndroidAshley]

@lnx1138 I've just always said "Oh-es-ex" -- tomato, tomatoh (or however those "tomatoh" weirdos pronounce it). I know it's ten, but my brain's just wired to read it as X. It just kind of falls out of my brain that way, I guess.

And considering I upgraded to Lion on Day 1 on my shiny MBP... I wouldn't consider myself a pretty spokesmodel. I write the show.
