Iyaz returns as we talk books (everything except the traditional paper kind). RIM announces their tablet, the Playbook. Is it worth getting? Will it give the iPad a run for it’s money? With Hulu going on Roku, we also discuss the pros and cons of ditching that cable box and going straight for a set-top box.
As autumn brings a myriad of colors across trees and leaves, Apple releases a whole new set of iPods in all their shades and colors. Iyaz and I dish out our thoughts on each line – what’s worth getting and what’s to pass? Find out this and a lot more in this week’s Gigawhat!

Derrick and I get together for a live taping of Gigawhat at NYC’s Bryant Park. Unfazed by the random tourists staring at our setup, we give our predictions to Apple’s big event on 9/1. Touches, Nanos, and Shuffles, oh my! We review the new Google Voice feature on Gmail as well as a few apps for the Android, Blackberry, and iPhone. Best part, no Skype lag!

Joshua Caleb joins us as we talk about what’s new on Facebook and consequently, what’s got privacy advocates once again up at arms and screaming. We also look at Apple’s new killswitch idea (Is it just me or is it not that hard to imagine a giant “kill all” button at Steve Job’s office at Apple HQ?). We also got a new hack for the PS3 (We’ll see how long THAT lasts!), some iPad news and what’s this…? Apparently Rupert Murdoch owns the sky?Podcast: Play in new window | Download
