Good show as always, and I would like to hear a rom/hacking spin-off podcast.

I have a suggestion, though: I used to listen to CNet's Buzz Out Loud regularly for about 3 years, then I lost interest. They had one good rule though, when it came to voice mails: Keep it to 30 seconds or it doesn't get aired. I think we have some good thoughts on the voice mails, but they seem to ramble pretty bad at times. Just a suggestion.

I too want to thank all at Android Central for the podcasts.

And, I too would like to hear a spin off about hacking a mod (AND rooting) up to Cyanogen Mod 7.

But, how about having each writers do a root then mod to CM 7; using DIFFERENT phones; so we find out how the phones behave and how the requirements differ. Hope it's not to many details. Just a thought.

Kindest Regards;
