BOL 1048: Is Apple lying to the FCC?
Created: 08/24/2009
Video description: Apple's letter to the FCC makes some pretty incredible claims about what Google Voice does to the iPhone's phone functionality. TechCrunch calls them misleading when they're being nice. To us, they sound like lies. We're also kinda taken with the Nokia laptop. Yes, Nokia is making a laptop. And of course the week of stars kicks off with guest host Patrick Beja.
