This week?s episode of the Gadget Lab podcast packs a healthy mix of mobile goodies.
We take a quick look at Sony?s new version of the PlayStation Portable, dubbed the Next-Generation Portable. It?s equipped with an OLED display, two touch panels and a cartridge reader, similar to the Nintendo DS. Most interestingly, it features a quad-core Cortex A9 processor ? a hell of a lot of power for a portable gaming device, which makes me wonder about the battery life.
I segue into the upcoming Verizon iPhone and just how much it will cost compared with the AT&T iPhone. The monthly prices aren?t very different, though AT&T?s tethering plan is a bit worse in terms of value.
Nothing is quite worse in value, however, than an accessory I saw at Macworld Expo that converts your iPhone into a pseudo landline. That?s just kind of a sad invention.
We close the podcast goofing off with Bebot, a music-synthesizer robot app for iPhone and a cutesy iPad game called Max Adventure.
