We also cover the latest Windows 10 Mobile Build (10166) and highlight Steve's recent investigation of Windows 10 Mobile's performance on different processor/RAM configurations (from Lumia 520 to 1520).

Errata: I mentioned in the podcast (from memory) that the Lumia 520 didn't have a microSD slot - this is incorrect, though my general point about low end Windows Phone users not necessarily being inclined - or even able - to upgrade to W10M still stands, I think. Editorial coming soon!
