Pinoy Tech Podcast 02: Rotary phones made of bakelite

Join Dean Berris, Jon Limjap, Migs Paraz, and Jerome Gotangco for Episode 02 of Pinoy Tech Podcast. In this episode we discuss about Google Maps in the Philippines, Google Latitude, the ubiquity of the Internet in the Philippine setting and the local job market during a global recession.

While the sound quality of this episode is great, I apologize for some instances where I seem to be playing around with the microphone. I was using a Polycom Communicator hands free unit for this episode and wanted to test it out but it seems to be picking up too much sound. That's one more thing to learn for next episode.
