Mikko has been traveling this week, and along the way, he stopped by the New York Times to participate in their Tech Talk Podcast . Here’s a direct link to the MP3 file . Mikko’s interview starts at about 12m 40s. I enjoyed the entire podcast, particularly Bettina Edelstein’s segment on traveling in Amsterdam with only an iPhone as her link to the Internet.
