Summary: Episode #153 of the SMRpodcast with special guest host Terrance Gaines, a.k.a. BrothaTech, is online and ready for download. It was kind of a laid back show this week, but, we touch on a lot of tech, including our thoughts on mobile App development, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 with phone capabilities, and the PlayStation 4 announcement.
