Posted by geeknews at 1:11 AM on March 2, 2010

Your not going to want to miss a segment in today’s show where I get called on the carpet by a long time listener. I have been in touch with the Advanced tech support at iTunes, I am hoping the show updates on schedule tonight. If it does not there are instructions on how to guarantee how to get the show. I talk about the weekend excitement here in Hawaii over the Tsunami Warning, and a host of other tech topics that are sure to please.

Support by these fine sponsors your support of them is greatly appreciate.

GNC-2010-02-04 #549 Off to Windy City!

Posted by geeknews at 1:22 AM on February 4, 2010

Midweek show as I head off to Chicago for a weekend of closed door meetings. Will have a lot of juicy stuff for you when I get back. Lots of tech talk tonight in a pretty laid back show. Midweek shows are always a little odd. Share the show with your Geek friends and make sure they know they have a chance to win a iPad on the 2-11-10 show.

Support by these fine sponsors keep the lights on your support is appreciated!

Apple iPad

Posted by geeknews at 11:08 AM on January 27, 2010

In a Word a iPhone on Sterioids Check Gizmodo Coverage

Love the concept and they almost did it right. But it is missing the following

No MultiTasking
No Camera
No Flash (Adobe)
No Verizon or T-Mobile
No Widescreen
No HDMI Out

Plus your still locked into the App store. Your not going to be able to load your own applications on this. It’s a locked in ecosystem worse than the iPhone in that you thing your getting a computer but instead what you are getting is a iPhone with no phone and few extra shiny features. For the above reasons I will pass on this one.

No Multitasking is the biggest killer. Why is Apple so scared of Multi-Tasking you know that the Andorid phones and tablets coming will have that feature.

This device would have been perfect for Skype calls. But guess what no camera. IDIOTS!
