This week we continue our deep dive into the impact that voice is having on the mobile industry. This time we bring 25-year voice veteran and author of The Voice in the Machine Roberto Pieraccini to the show to help shed some light on the subject.

This week’s guest is Bill Meisel, an industry expert in advanced speech technology and telephony products and markets. This is our first episode focused on the impact that voice will have on the mobile industry. In our “big ideas” segment, Rob rails against the lack of mobile thought that went into this year’s crop of Super Bowl commercials and Peggy tells you why you should build for the BlackBerry.

This week’s guest is Chetan Sharma, founder of Chetan Sharma Consulting, author and veteran thought leader in the mobile world. We discuss his 2012 Mobile Industry Predictions Survey and what his thoughts are for the industry in 2012.

This week we sit with Kevin C Tofel, purveyor of all things mobile at GigaOm, to talk about his 16 2012 mobile predictions, Peggy jumps into some surprising consumer behaviour desires (i.e. to not be stalked by brands) and Rob tries to make sense of the mess that has become RIM after the CEO shakeup.

This week we sit with Gary Schwartz, author of The Impulse Economy, to talk about his 2012 mobile predictions, we explore the impact the Kindle Fire will have in Europe and raise our Goblet of Rock to SoundTracking – the little app that brings music back.

This is a brand new show – so new we are still trying to come up with a permanent name. In this episode we discuss the pillars for 2012 as discussed in more depth in the Netsize Guide, the QR code conundrum – an international issue, and we raise our goblet of rock to Just Dot Me (PDF here) as a company moving global needle forward.
