GBTV #660 (small) | Hands on with the Nokia N900 Apparently, I left out an important detail when I've talked about the N900 in anticipation of it's arrival because Neal, my husband who is with me all the time didn't know that the N900 is able to make phone calls. Go figure. Let's start by looking at the industrial design. I have an iPhone 3GS here along with a Motorola Droid and the Nokia N900. The iPhone and Droid are almost exactly the same height and width. The Droid is a little thicker than the iPhone to accommodate the slider ke ...

GBTV #658 (small) | Google's Free Wi-Fi, Kindle PC App, Intel Reader, Sparkz, N900 Google's getting in the holiday spirit. They want to provide free WiFi for travelers in 47 airports across the country. The only downside is being asked to download Chrome (do it!) and if you want to set Google as your default search engine. Amazon released the Kindle PC App, which uses Whispernet, so you can switch between devices and always pick up where you left off. Intel is developing an eReader for the visually impaired.

GBTV #657 (small) | Motorola Droid Review As you know, the hugely anticipated launch of the Motorola Droid was on Friday. I went to a press event held at a Verizon store to get a hands on with the Droid and some footage to share with you guys. Boring, but I'll take what I can get. Surprise, surprise, Verizon was nice enough to let me hang on to a Droid for two weeks so I'm able to give you a more in-depth review. The Droid runs Android 2.0. Android is an open source mobile operating system, originally developed by, and heavily ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
GBTV #656 (small) | USB Breast Warmer, Droid ERIS, Sony Ericsson Kurara, E-P2 Micro Four-Thirds Camera The USB Breast Warmers may have been created just so engineers could look at women in bras, but I'd like to know if I'm missing something here.

GBTV #655 (small) | Robomantic, The Movie I was really excited when I first learned about the Robovie-PC, the little Robot with a PC built in. Students at Electro-Communication University in Osaka competed in a princess rescue challenge and demonstrated that a robot can be romantic if you're willing to buy-in a little bit. Neal played around with SoundForge to create the soundtrack. Brief 655 was brought to you by SquareSpace.com, the easy way to build an inexpensive, great-looking Web site.

GBTV #654 (small) | TwitterPeek, Atheros AR6003 Chip, HomeFinder, Remote Controlled Tissue Box We've talked about the Peek before, a device dedicated to email. Now they have the TwitterPeek, completely dedicated to Twitter. The idea sounds great! I'm a Twitter addict, but the only issue is, before purchasing a device, I want to know what the interface is like, and I can't get a good sense of that from the website. The Atheros AR6003 is an 802.11n chip that uses 20% less power than current chips and still delivers 85Mb/s data transfer. If you have people coming to your house ...

In Bed with Don McAllister of Screencasts Online You guys have spoken! I know a lot of you don't like floor interviews when I'm at expos, so we wanted to do any Blogworld interviews at a little different.

GBTV #642 (small) | I Like Windows 7 as Much as OS X Kylie likes it. Mossberg likes it. Maximum PC says, "Windows 7 is unquestionably the best version of Windows ... ever." CNET says, "Windows 7 is stable, smooth, and highly polished." Gizmodo gives permission to, "Upgrade without trepidation, people. With excitement, even!" I second that emotion, Windows 7 is not only a worthy upgrade, I've had as much fun using Windows 7 this past week as I did when I switched from PCs to Mac.
