WiGig, Google Editions, Android Outsells iPhone, Techno Toilets!

Veronica's back from Japan, and guess what the coolest tech she saw was? The Wi-Fi Alliance has announced a new format for transferring data up to ten time faster than Wi-Fi N... it's called WiGig! Borders has a new eBook coming, the Kobo. Later this year Google Editions is coming online as Google's eBook store... with almost every US publisher on board! Android phones are outselling iPhones? That's the word from the NPD group... but both are outsold by another phone.

SharePod: Free Awesome iPod/iPhone Software!

Shaun caught our efforts to help Camilo play the music on his iPhone on his PC and wrote in with an excellent suggestion that Patrick's fallen in love with: SharePod. You can use it to play the songs directly off your iPhone or iPod, move files on and off, edit playlists and quite a bit more. It might even replace iTunes for you!

Your car's battery is critical for performance, from eeping that 500 W amp pumping, your car's engine computer behaving, and, oh yeah, you need it every time you turn the key to start it!

Suite Arrival: a Website We Can't Get Enough Of!

The Ultimate Suitcase For Your Laptop...

Jack travels around a fair bit, and needs a good suitcase for his 17 inch laptop, preferably with the foam padding you mould to the gadgets? Patrick has a short list: Pelican! The Pelican 1470 is too small for a 17 inch laptop, you'd be looking for a Pelican 1495. Otterbox is great for smaller devices. (Patrick owns several.) We've also heard good things about cases from SKB and Nanuk!
