The TWIA crew is back without Cerventus who was on his way back to KL from Singapore during the recording. We discussed how the iPad performed with respect to the hosts of the show, while moving to the stories of the three new phones C3, C6 and E5 launched by Nokia and China has boosted the downloads in the Ovi Store. Marching on, we examine the reasons why TenCent (who owns QQ) have invested in Russia’s DST and whether HTC will acquire Palm. Finally, we end with more outsourcing horror stories, and with a bonus story from Mike on his review of the Opera Mini app on the iPhone. Do look forward to the special reviews for the upcoming Echelon and also the live show in Barcamp KL next week. You can go directly to TWIA website or listen the podcast here in SGEntrepreneurs.
