Summary: Welcome to this 49th edition of the AGP. The content for this episode worked out in an interesting way. First up we found that there was a great mix of news this fortnight with bugger all from the big players, that felt like the good old days. We were also practically devoid of any mobile and tablet news and apps, for any platform. To top it off we had a glut of cool web sites and services. So we here at the geek went with the flow and decided it would be a retro edition of the show format with a concentration on great news and sites and services. We also had time to visit the Aussie iTunes reviews as promised. Welcome aboard, have fun this is the AGP going retro!
