Mark Milian talks about how the iPhone is often praised as a good pocket personal computer, but Verizon’s network undeniably guarantees that the Droid will be a good phone at square one.

Snow Leopard is the first topic this week and no one seems to be too happy about Apple’s latest release. Even Leo feels like the update may not be all it should have been.

We are lucky enough to get a clip show on this weeks episode of TWiT. When it comes to a weekly show, making a clip show is incredibly time consuming and labor intensive so it great to get this one.
