Tech Weekly podcast: Twitter restricts app access, Apple and Google's subscription plans, Tablets and MeeGo from MWC

Aleks Krotoski and Jemima Kiss talk through this week's biggest tech headlines, discussing the buoyant future for the digital scene.

Twitter's heavy-handed action against the developers of the UberTwitter and Twidroyd apps suggests a shakedown from the top of the pile, as the company transforms from one service among many into a platform courted by Facebook and Google.

Social games company Zynga is on the verge of a big investment deal, suggesting that their diversification model – from games to merchandise, to virtual goods to advertising – is the next evolution of companies eager to surf the Web 2.0 bubble. And Apple and Google battle it out for the most robust subscription service that doesn't alienate consumers, stifle the fertile apps market or – most importantly – ostracise developers.

Charles Arthur rounds up the coverage from Mobile World Congress, including a chat with Stan Mo from MeeGo, intel's and Nokia's open operating system that had been the shining light, until Nokia announced last week that it was only packaging one piece of kit with it in the next financial year.
