In this week’s Wired Gadget Lab podcast, Dylan Tweney, Daniel Dumas, and Jose Fermoso talk about Nokia’s vision of the mobile future. They’ll discuss its somewhat complex Symbian operating system and stack it up against competing systems from Google, Apple, and Openmoko. The early verdict: Standardization is finally coming to the mobile phone market.
In addition, they’ll go over the noise-canceling and beat-loving Dr. Dre Beats headphones, while revealing a few of their favorite musical artists.
Finally, they marvel over the week’s best DIY hack, a GPS-enabled stun gun hidden in a bike, created with the intent to prevent thefts. The hack is dangerous, controversial, and a must-hear.
