Microsoft Mobile MVP Joel Rushworth joins Vernon and Kevin as he fills in for David. The three dig deep into the latest Windows 10 Mobile technical preview version 10149, and debate whether or not you should install it on your daily driver. Two out of the three are using the brand-spankin' new Lumia 640 XL, and they predict if it will be the next big seller for Windows Phone. Joel shares his expertise while enlightening us with his smart home experiments, describes the smartphone and carrier model in Canada, and shares some great tips on how to use the coveted Microsoft services in The Great White North. The regular segments are covered as well, such as Tip of the Episode, last and this week's polls, and the Twitter Tip. As always, personal app, music, and podcast picks are shared by the three.
FeedbackClifton Thomas sent us a pic via Twitter of him controlling the audio of the MS Mobile Show, by using his Asus ZenWatch running Android Wear.
