September 16th, 2009
Andy and Alex have both gotten their hands on the new camera-equipped iPod nano and the impressions are fairly positive.

MacBreak Weekly 139: Deploy The Ponytail
May 6th, 2009
Quickly up-front Leo mentions the rumors that Apple is looking to aquire some other big companies. He mentions Twitter, but EA has also been rumored to be in Apple’s sights.
