Welcome to episode 45 of The Sideload, a 9to5Google podcast. This week, Will is joined by Daniel Bader as they sit down with Kevin Michaluk (aka Crackberry Kevin) and Jeff Gadway from Clicks to discuss the upcoming launch of the Clicks Communicator. They discuss launching a first-gen smartphone during the RAM crisis, what it's like to return to physical keyboards, and how you build a product that avoids becoming a jack of all trades, master of none.
