Summary: **On THIS episode: ** * Last week we posed a challenge to live with less apps on our mobile phones. Were you up for the task? We were! We'll share how this past week went for us.. * Guess what? We've got another challenge for you this week! Relax, it won't hurt a bit... or will it? Have no fear with the technology you hold dear. The time is near, to be clear. Let's clear the deck. What the heck? This is BPM:Tech! Clarification Time: Episode 36, deleting Apple apps off our phone.
