Four years ago at CES we were told that WiMax was just around the corner. Finally, this Fall, Sprint will actually have WiMax (4G) available in many major markets. If things go as promised (big IF) then Sprint will have their 4G access in place in almost all markets by the time Verizon debuts LTE (their version of 4G) in a handfull of major markets.

There is still a brewing format war between LTE and WiMax, but when it comes to timing, Sprint is way ahead of their competitors.

The Yeti by Blue Microphone is big, heavy and should be a staple for any one who needs a portable recording studio. Listen to the podcast and peruse the gallery for more information.

We recorded the podcast on the Yeti using Garage Band with no effects filters. What you hear is what you get. We edited the podcast in Audacity.

One correction to the podcast. We incorrectly said that the Yeti was over a foot tall. In reality it is exactly a foot tall. It also weighs over 3 lbs with the base. (mic 1.2 lbs, base 2.2 lbs).

If you are looking for a backup portable studio or you need a good beginner microphone for your podcast studio, we don’t think you can do any better than the Yeti for $150 or less. In fact, you can get it for well under $150 by following the Amazon link at the top of the article.
