Join us for the latest episode of Wired.com’s long-running Gadget Lab podcast! In this week’s podcast: Kindle 2.0, brain-like computers, a new BlackBerry and an $800 gaming laptop.
Amazon is planning a big press event in New York on Feb. 9 — and it’s likely to be where the e-tailer announces version 2.0 of its popular e-book reader, the Kindle. In this week’s podcast, we talk about what Kindle 2.0 is likely to look like, and what features it may have.
Plus, we discuss a new project by computer scientists at IBM, Stanford, and four other universities to create a new class of computers based on the structure of the human brain.
Finally, we review the new BlackBerry Curve 8900 and an $800 gaming laptop, the MSI GX630.
This week’s crew includes Dylan Tweney, Danny Dumas and Priya Ganapati, with audio production by Fernando Cardoso.
