In case my poorly lit photos didn’t quite convince you that the Kogan Agora prototype I got to play with the other night was real, Seamus grabbed it after me and filmed it working for Midnight Update. The money shot of the phone is at the 5:25 mark, but you should watch the whole thing to hear Shay’s interview with Ruslan Kogan.
Those of you who have been part of the Giz family for a while will remember our good friend Seamus — he launched Giz AU, helped us cover the Aussie iPhone launch and even took the mantle over at Kotaku while it was without an editor. Well, he’s just launched a brand new podcast called Midnight Update, which covers the tech and gaming news each weekday. As you may have guessed, it hits the webs at midnight…
Even though it’s only six episodes old, Shay’s still managed to start giving stuff away, as well as interview members of the Australian Cricket team. I tell you, the guy’s got influence. So make sure you head on over to the site to check it out, and subscribe to the podcast in iTunes.
