<description>&lt;p&gt;In AAWP Insight #201, hosted by Steve and Rafe, we continue the Steve Litchfield 'origins' story (following&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/item/21658_All_About_Rafe_Blandford.php"&gt;Rafe's own Origins tale on the 361 Degrees podcast&lt;/a&gt;). This time we (mainly) cover the post-millennium years. This includes the All About era, Steve's database efforts (from Trivopaedia to a UK Pocket Directory), early device reviews and content, and the switch from Symbian to Windows Phone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This podcast was recorded on December 12th 2016 with Steve Litchfield and Rafe Blandford.&lt;/p&gt;

AAWP Insight #201: Steve Litchfield - Origins part 2

<description>&lt;p&gt;In AAWP Insight #200, hosted by Steve and Rafe, we celebrate our 200th podcast by tackling (the much teased) Steve Litchfield 'origins' story (following &lt;a href="http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/item/21658_All_About_Rafe_Blandford.php"&gt;Rafe's own Origins tale on the 361 Degrees podcast&lt;/a&gt;). We cover the early years (adventures in aerospace), the rise of Psion and the 3-Lib shareware library, Steve's app development efforts (from golf to GIS), the dawn of connected PDAs, and the beginning of the Symbian era.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There's so much to cover that we'll have to continue in a follow-up podcast, part 2 if you like - watch this space for a follow up episode. This will look at not only Steve's efforts in the Symbian era and beyond but also Rafe's, and those of the other characters involved in the 'origins' and deveopment of the 'All About' sites. We have plenty of anecdotes left to share - and this time Rafe can't use the excuse that he was still in school (etc!) so he'll be joining in with the reminiscences more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This podcast was recorded on December 6th 2016 with Steve Litchfield and Rafe Blandford.&lt;/p&gt;

AAWP Insight #200: Steve Litchfield - Origins part 1

<description>&lt;p&gt;Apologies for the break in your normal run of podcasts with Rafe, but the chance arose to sit down with Damian Dinning, ex-Nokia and its head of imaging for years, the guy (with his team, of course) behind classics like the Nokia N73, N90, N93, N95, N82, N86, N8, 808 PureView and, of course, the Lumia 1020. The chat was in a quietish pub and is hopefully very listenable - the content is about 60% Windows Phone-related, 30% Symbian-related and 10% generic, but there's plenty here of interest to all readers/listeners, I think.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Subjects covered include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Samsung G810 (yes, really)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lens covers and coatings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Durability&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Refocus and Cinemagraph&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rich Capture and Dynamic Flash&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Oversampling&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Camera humps&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;LED versus Xenon&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Multi-frame capture possibilities&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Noise reduction algorithms&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Processing requirements in modern camera phones&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lumia Camera and the 1020&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows Phone stability&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Damian's thoughts on Android and iOS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Musings on the N9&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Musings looking back on Symbian&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Listeners might like to note that I recorded the chat on a Nokia 808 PureView - there are a couple of points where Damian picks the device up to illustrate something, so apologies for a few rustles and taps here and there!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/PhoneDaz" target="_blank"&gt;follow Damian on Twitter here&lt;/a&gt;, by the way.&lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;The end of an era? Rafe and I record the last ever All About Symbian Insight podcast. No, the site's not going away, but after an absence of over six months, we felt it appropriate to at least draw a line under the Symbian-centric podcasts. And we go out with an hour-long bang, with a heady mix of news, retrospective and our picks of our favourite Symbian devices.... ever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Covered are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Recent news in the Symbian world.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The State of Symbian and a look back at the last decade or two.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our favourite five Symbian devices EVER. Each. Plus a few extras!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can listen to earlier episodes of the AAS Insight Podcast&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/media/all/"&gt;in our media section&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
