Tired of hearing about Windows 7 yet? The opinions are the same here as they have been everywhere– it’s good. The guys get into the Apple updates and the iMacs seem to be the biggest win. Ryan laments that he would like to pick one up, but he just can’t make the move to a desktop.

The Barnes and Nobel Nook ebook reader has caught everyone off-guard. Ryan brings up a good point here about how amazing it is that a company like B&N, with no history with technology, can bring such a strong product to the market. The Nook seems to do everything the Kindle does, only better. Amazon has already shown that they are feeling the heat with their imediate $20 price drop on the international version of their device.

The guys quickly touch on the Sidekick situation before moving on to the Motorola Droid. It looks like it could be a strong competitor in the smartphone market, and possibly the first break-through handset running Android. Rounding out the cast is discussion about the Palm Pre expanding to Verizon.

Covered news and topics: Windows 7, Apple updates, B&N Nook, Danger/Sidekick, Motorola Droid, Verizon Pre

Well, it happened: Windows 7 shipped! We’ll be spending some time there, as well as with some of the other huge goings on of the week, including Apple’s new 27-inch iMac, Magic Mouse, and unibody Macbook (among other devices we didn’t get a chance to touch on, like the Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server and new remote). Turns out this was also a big week for e-book readers, too, between the hot new Barnes & Noble nook and its surprisingly familiar counterpart, the Spring Design Alex. We’ve also got the latest on Danger’s big data loss (finally, some good news!), the Motorola Droid and the Pre coming to Verizon, and listener feedback — so listen up.
