Corey and Katie will sat down with Steve Stanger of The Mac Attack and devoted a special podcast to the topic of becoming Apple Certified. This is a little different show for us, but we’ve gotten a ton of listener feedback on this topic and thought it warranted its own show. Steve and Corey talk about the reasons they choose to become Apple Certified, talk about the reasons to become certified, the different types of certifications Apple offers and answers listener questions about the certification process.

iPhone 2.0.1 is out and much to Katie and Corey’s joy squashes quite a few iPhone bugs, but these bug fixes may come at the cost of not being able to unlock your phone in the future. Lots of happenings, some good, and some bad in the App Store. We talk about a few of our favorite new Apps, talk about the Null River debacle and iPhone tethering, and discuss just how involved Apple should be in policing the App store. The MobileMe mess is starting to clean itself up, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some bitter feelings. Steve has admitted that the MobileMe mess had problems, but is all forgiven? Katie explains stories of Macs being discriminated against by state Bars and Corey tells us about his plans to do a special Apple Certification episode by popular demand. (Running Time 00:40:01)
