As per usual, Apple talk capitalizes the beginning of the show and Brian hits on the biggest theme of the iPhone 4′s announcement – getting less than you expected. He goes on to say that Jobs is the P.T. Barnum of the modern day, selling old tech like video phone calls like they’d never been seen before. Wrapping up the Apple talk, John theorizes that the lack of a partnership with Verizon may be temporary, as they booked a conference room three days after the initial release of the phone.
Hulu has been rumored to be offering some sort of premium service in the near future, which leaves Leo a little underwhelmed considering the likely high price. On a similar note, he also talks a little bit about his plans for the E3 Expo and specifically his unlikely alliance with G4 for broadcasting rights.
Late in the show, the guys discuss the odd behavior of Google in its universal implementation of a background image on their front page, questioning whether or not they should be imitating Bing. John takes the Google ball and runs with it, asking about the relevance of search engines in the near future due to their half-hearted dealing with SEO.
iPhone 4, future carriers, Hulu on Xbox, E3 preview, data in the cloud, and more.
