Following on from the first two episodes, here is the third episode of the 361 Degrees podcast. This is a podcast all about mobile technology, created by Ben Smith of Wireless Worker and co-hosted by Ewan MacLeod of Mobile Industry Review and Rafe Blandford of All About Symbian. The third episode features a debate about app stores - are they the best thing since sliced bread or a break on the pace of innovation?

Episode 3 takes the form of a debate, which Ben chairs (because he's is a suit):

• Rafe argues that App Stores are a passing fad, are limiting and lacking, addressing only a current need that will soon be left behind as innovation in the mobile space continues at a blistering pace.
     
• Ewan argues that App Stores are great enablers and have created a multi-Billion dollar industry in mobile applications that's here to stay.

In working together to create the 361 Degrees podcast, Ben, Ewan and I hope to create an offering that would offer the readers, of all our sites, a sampling of a broader range of topics than we might usually cover individually. We're keen to hear your feedback so please leave your comments below, or on one of the other sites hosting the audio content.
