That podcast, in retrospect

You know the one. It started this thread.

Just amusing to think that both of the microSD complainers then are at Apple now. Figures.

Funny thing is HTC and LG joined Samsung in offering mSD on their flagships this year.

I had been wondering what had happened to Brian. While I often disagreed with their perspective on phones, it'll be sad to see both of them leaving the publishing space.

They put their money where their mouths are. I don't see anything unseemly here.

I like to think we played small role in mSD making a comeback. This type of threads were common in lot of mobile/tech sites with most people pretty vocal about having/wanting mSD on phones/tablets. HTC bring back mSD on new phones was no coincidence. So Brian and Anand actually helped the mSD cause with their unusual form over function bias. Now we just need 32gb base standard phones/tablets.

I guess SD fans have me to thank. Haha.

I had no idea Brian went to Apple. Any inquiry was met with silence. For some reason he hasn't updated his Twitter page to reflect changes.

After all this time I don't think anything said or written by Anand or Brian made a good case against SD cards in smartphones. And I don't expect 2015 flagships to ditch the SD card slot either. If anything the sway seems to be going towards SD cards seeing that OEM's are boasting about adding 128 GB for your storage needs via a card.

Anyways I personally don't care as long as I can get at least 32 GB onboard storage. But I know countless others do.

And I'm happy for Anand. And thankful the site will continue on.
