The Verge Mobile Show 030 - December 18th, 2012

The Verge Mobile Show turns 30 this week, but it doesn't look a day over 29. Ok, it's been a little bit pixelated recently, but we'll blame that on Google. Speaking of Google: Dieter, Chris, and Dan review Google Maps for iOS and the end of Exchange ActiveSync for Google services. How will these latest developments affect your mobile life? And is Microsoft getting nothing but coal from Google in it's stocking this year?

Also on the agenda: The latest Android hardware including the HTC M7, the Sony Yuga, and the Galaxy Grand.

About Gmail user numbers. Been with Hotmail for over a decade now, then with all the Google hype registered with Gmail. Then started using Google analytics and Google let me register with my Hotmail account. Cool! One day some happened and Google prompted me to create a Gmail account so I could continue using analytics. So I now have TWO google accounts neither of which I use much. Use one for signing up for Google services, that's all. So yeah, I have 2 google and one hotmail. Win for Gmail :)

Totally agree with Chris on preferring Picasa. It just streams all albums to Android gallery. And it is all part of the big Google ecosystem. I like the integration.

My daily driver is a Solstice. It may be parts bin and not perfect, but it's simple, a ton of fun to drive, and for me has been very reliable. I love it.
