In this week’s Wired Gadget Lab podcast, Dylan Tweney, Daniel Dumas, and Jose Fermoso discuss the latest news on the Asus Eee PC 900, which this week involves Asus shipping a souped-up battery in their review units, a move unappreciated by all readers who want real benchmarks and ‘unfixed’ reviews.

In addition, they’ll go over the release of the Optimus Maximus Keyboard on ThinkGeek.com (which caused a furor on this blog earlier this week), as well as the week’s top reviews, including the Kicker iPod Dock, the Tissot T-Touch Watch, and the Nokia N95. Finally, Dylan tries to convince the group (with mixed results) that walking barefoot all the time is actually better than wearing shoes. Turns out that you can only do this if you don’t live in an urban area, don’t work, and you really like antagonizing your friends.
