In this episode we get exuberant about the newly announced T-Mobile G1 Android phone. There are both good and not so good things about the G1 but overall we both would love to get one. We also cover AT&T temporarily reducing speeds for U-verse customers, RIAA-Jammie Thomas mistrial, Apple being not so nice to iPhone developers, Hollywood and ISPs forming a filtering coalition, photo mapping with Flickr bikes and Bejeweled coming to Warcraft.
