In this week’s “Leo loves the iPad” segment, TWiT’s new cast of characters get to throw their two cents on whether or not they love Apple’s latest device, coming out decidedly more unimpressed as a whole. Veronica got a chance to use Ryan Block’s iPad, remarking that it’s a bit inconvenient to not have multiple user profiles for an “appliance” device like this one. Brian Brushwood adds that the lack of camera and extra $30 monthly fee for 3G service is enough to have him hold off, despite his excitement for some of the offered features.
A victor has been called on the big Comcast vs FCC lawsuit and let’s just say net neutrality fans aren’t very happy about it. Most of the guys agree that the FCC shouldn’t have free reign to regulate the internet, but Comcast’s ongoing acquisition of NBC along with the their moves against BitTorrent show that total free trade isn’t so hot either. Baritunde goes on to say that free trade really doesn’t exist for most people as far as internet options are concerned, an excellent point.
The rest of the show largely focuses on the iPhone OS 4.0 update and specifically on their ban on applications not coded in a C-based language, essentially shutting out Adobe’s recent moves to make converting flash programs into apps.
Apple hits Adobe hard, Comcast-FCC, Twitter buys Tweetie, iPad, and more.
