What's going on with the iPhone, what would it take to make you upgrade to iPhone 2? Apple faces more competition from Netflix and Napster, are the record labels and the networks snubbing Apple just to be nasty? Apple ranks number 1 in Tech Support, but unfortunately people are having more interactions with AppleCare. Apple claims 66% of the PC market share over $1,000 but does that really mean all that much? We pick a winner for our AudioEngine W1 giveaway and we take your questions and comments regarding Quicken, PDF organization, and iPhone speakers. Oh yeah, did you know that you can get MacCore stuff for your dog? (Running Time: 0:53:02)

Katie and Corey were both honored to co-host the Typical Mac User Live Podcast with Victor Cajiao this week. Today we talk a little bit about the history behind Katie and Corey, how we met, and how we decided to start a Podcast. Corey talks about becoming Apple Certified and how that is done and who should consider certification, and we both chime in on the prospects of Mac Clones and whether or not that's a good thing from Apple. We had a great discussion so hope you'll enjoy it as well.

Note: Unless there is a special occasion this will likely be the last Typical Mac User Live show that will be put into this feed based on feedback from listeners.
