Listening to it right now. Interesting stuff & opinions about Nokia! Thanks.

We need the whole clan, no offence, flying solo just isn't as interesting because there is no conversations and feeding off each other. With that being said, nice work for being solo!

Agree.
Will DL podcast later.
Going to be only 9min of N97 :(
But will see..

Nice job with the solo podcast, but I'll be glad when you get more people back. Podcasts just go better when there's lots of banter.

Hey, sorry if this is a "noob" question, but how soon can I get the iPhone 3GS for a cheaper price on Rogers? I'm going to be on my second year of my contract starting September. Does anyone know if I'm going to be able to get a discount? Thanks

first of Mike don't worry about nubeism we all are at heart. Well done Chris This is exactly what i was talking about you did it solo so you could give us the news. You guys are kind of how josh described palm in gdgt we love you but we hate you We love you because of your great work but you release episodes sporadically going for months with out episodes with out any reason. Now all you have to do is keep the podcast going.

Hi, great podcast , and I have a question. Just about to buy a new house, and I am going to have an opportunity to re-wire.
I have an xbox 360 currently attached to my 50" HD tv, and a gaming rig PC in the office. I tried doing a dry run with the xbox as an extender and the quality really sucked compared to an HDMI cable direct from PC to TV (have 2 tuner cards and a media library of m4v and avi files), so the question is, would I be best running HDMI cables from the PC (upstairs) to the TV and keeping the xbox as a game console only, or can I get better quality from the xbox as an extender over ethernet (100mbs connection)
If I am going to run HDMI down from the office, what is the best way to switch the HDMI source at the PC? I dont want to have to go upstairs and change monitor output, though I guess I can use VNC through my mobile?
Last Q, I have a surround amp with optical in, running back from the xbox, so using it as an extender would be advantagous in that respect, but when using it as an extender, does the surround sound get transmited, or is the xbox just guessing speaker output?

Sorry, wrong podcast, meant for the HD one (blush)
