How To Subscribe to Coverville on an iPhone
Well, actually, I don't know. I think you might have to slide your finger across the display, or search for calamari, or something like that. But I hope to know on Friday as I wait in line with all the other fanboys to try and get one.
You know, purely to be able to intelligently inform my listeners how they can subscribe to the show should they get their hands on one themselves. It's completely a business purchase.
And while you're waiting for the phone-that-cannot-possibly-live-up-to-the-amount-of-hype-it's-receiving, have a listen to the ApplePhoneShow, hosted by Scott Bourne, one of the hosts of MacBreak Weekly - a show I never miss!
