MacVoices #26268: Live! - Ecamm Creator Camp Report, iPhone Duo for Lefties, and AT&T's Handoff Decision

Two MacVoices Live! panel members provide a look inside the most recent Ecamm Creator Cam. They highlight its focus on creators, entrepreneurship, community, and upcoming features such as live transcription and translation. The panel also examines how many apps can be removed from iPhone as compared to other smart phones, and slower storage in base Mac mini models. The discussion also includes a look at left-handed usability of the iPhone Duo and AT&T's surprising decision not to support Apple's new iPhone handoff feature.

The panel includes: Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Eric Bolden, and Jim Rea.
