Could being tied to Sprint hurt the Palm Pre’s chances when it launches later this year? Maybe so, given the carrier’s economic woes. The Gadget Lab crew discusses the good phone/not-so-good carrier problem in this week’s episode.
Plus, we talk about industrial designers’ latest fascination: putting bamboo in everything from notebooks to computer mice to bicycle frames. And we review the Casio G-Shock MTG-1500, a rugged watch that’s both solar-powered and atomic, and the Asus ET1602 Eee Top — an inexpensive, all-in-one "kitchen PC."
This week’s episode features Gadget Labbers Dylan Tweney, Danny Dumas and Priya Ganapati, with audio engineering by Michael Lennon.
