gdgt weeklyIt’s a rather dry episode this week. Friend of the show, Michael Gartenberg is on, and quite frankly, the show suffers a bit for it. While he has some nice insight into the topics of the week, the atmosphere of the episode is quite different, and the fun flies out the window.

The recent declaration of the death of the CrunchPad is the center of attention and there are a few theories about what happened in the development process expressed here. Michael feels like it was a product without a market, but Ryan feels like it had a bit more promise.

The Barnes & Nobel versus Spring Design issue gets some discussion, as does the recent developments in the Psystar versus Apple litigation. The news of  the updated Palm Pixi OS closes-out the show.

We’re back from break and brought along with us a special guest: Michael Gartenberg, analyst at Interpret and an old friend. This week we’re talking CrunchPad (and the death thereof) and the future of Nokia, as well as this week’s news, including the FlipShare TV, Spring Design’s dismissed injunction against Barnes & Noble, Lenovo’s buyback of its cellphone business, Apple’s Psystar smackdown, as well as the Kohjinsha DZ dual-screen netbook and the 1.3.2 update for the Palm Pixi.
