In this week’s Wired Gadget Lab Podcast, Dylan Tweney, Daniel Dumas, and Jose Fermoso talk about the next generation of the OLPC ultra portable laptop, and why its dual-display touchscreen book could be an awesome educational tool. It’s too bad it won’t come out until 2010 and that its price point will probably be twice as much as promised.

In addition, the team continues the countdown to the iPhone 2’s release with the week’s juiciest rumored feature: Photo geotagging — a perfect way to find out where all the unlocked, black market iPhones are located around the world. Plus, they’ll go over the reviews of the Asus 1TB Laptop, and the almost-great Roku Netflix Set Top Box.

Finally, Jose talks about the wide range of (sometimes obscene) pricing at the Internet cafes he visited on his trip to Central America and why a giant macaw chewed on his neck. (The bird likely thought it was tasty.)
