Hosts: Leo Laporte, Scott Bourne, Alex Lindsay, Chris Breen, Liana Lehua
- Privacy Warfare: IMEI's transmitted from iPhone to apple? Now proved to be probably incorrect.
- The Amazon Kindle-Built around a business model, not the consumer (Note from the shownotes writer: However, the Kindle is probably the best ever use of a 3G cellular data network as a replacement for wifi, after all, no service plan!)
- Light frothy talk on potential macworld scenarios, Leo predicts a new iPhone (Write it down folks!)
- Don't forget apple did make a digital camera, the Apple Quicktake! Which had a resolution of 640X480, the same as the iPhone! (Your iPhone, its a new Apple Newton! Its a new Apple Quicktake, its also a hard-to-use cellphone!...)
