Recently Chicago Sun-Times technology columnist (and Macworld senior contributor) Andy Ihnatko penned a series of articles for our sister publication TechHive.com, gathered under the heading "Why I Switched From iPhone To Android." These articles generated a fair amount of controversy among Apple’s most loyal followers. While Andy did more than yeoman’s work in explaining his reasons for the switch, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to invite him to expand on those reasons. He was kind enough to spend nearly an hour speaking with me about that subject.

Apple doesn’t do trade shows these days, not even the world’s largest mobile trade show. But that’s no reason to overlook last week’s Mobile World Congress. Apple may not have joined other smartphone and tablet makers in Barcelona, but the iOS platform is very much a focus of that mobile get-together.
To find out just how big a shadow the iPhone and iPad cast over MWC, I talk to two folks just back from Spain—Leah Yamshon and Armando Rodriguez. While the mobile accessories on display last week in Barcelona weren’t all that different from what we saw at CES in January, Leah managed to spot a few mobile apps that are worth a mention. And Armando talks about the Android tablets and smartphones unveiled at MWC and what that might mean for future Apple products.

Computers are already on our desks, on our laps, and in our pockets, so why not on our wrists or faces? With the burgeoning trend of wearable computing, they might be—and sooner than you think.
Senior writer Lex Friedman joins me to discuss our experiences with smartwatches like the Pebble and the MetaWatch, as well as the upcoming Google Glass. And, of course, we talk about the prospects of Apple throwing its (smart?) hat in the ring.

If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result, what can you say about the person who gave the Macworld Pundit Showdown a place on the Macworld Live stage for a fourth consecutive year? Nevertheless, the Pundit Showdown returned to Macworld/iWorld 2013 for another live installment of our tech-themed quiz show.
In this live installment of the Showdown I invite TidBits senior editor Jeff Carlson, TechHive assistant editor Armando Rodriguez, BuzzFeed Sports senior writer (and TechHive contributor) Erik Malinowski, and Pacific Helm CEO Jessie Char to provide answers to often-ridiculous questions.
My apologies for the uneven volume and occasionally inaudible pre-recorded bits. Such is the nature of live audio.
