CNET UK Podcast 231: Ian's reign of terror comes to an end Podcast

CNET UK Podcast 231: Ian's reign of terror comes to an end

For well over 100 podcasts, a maniacal, self-obsessed Apple hater has been presiding over the otherwise well-loved CNET UK Podcast. Finally there is good news: after a UN resolution and subsequent declaration of a no-fly zone above 5-11 Lavington Street we have finally managed to overthrow this crazed technology journalist.

But life carries on, and there's also the week's most interesting news stories, a waterproof video camera, a waterproof submarine and a not at all waterproof mobile phone.

CNET UK Podcast 230: What's the value of music?

On this week's show, we right the wrongs of the music industry, blame the Germans for the BBC being offline for a whole hour, and talk about a new universal radio player. As well as us blabbering on about cloud-based virtual girlfriends, there's also a slightly downbeat single-syllable review of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. Continue reading...

CNET UK Podcast 229: Is £300 Galaxy Tab better than iPad 2?

There was a serious disagreement about which tablet is the best on this week's show. We also talked about the lifespan of a games console and asked if there were any downsides to the Xbox 360 continuing its loyal service until 2015.

There's also the week's most important news topics, such as Apple suing Amazon and cheap DVDs from Jersey heading the way of the dodo. Plus we debate the next feline codename for Mac OS X and wonder if Motorola is going slightly mad. Continue reading...

On the show this week: the dire consequences of unfriending your boyfriend on Facebook, and we talk about regulating an Internet that belongs to the whole world, not just one country. There's also news, including malicious Android apps, Charlie Sheen on Twitter, and Facebook giving away your home address.

In Crave, we discuss an awesome Blu-ray player, and two other products which are probably not all that significant. Ahem. Continue reading...

CNET UK Podcast 225: Cars of the future

As we get ready to send Rory out to Switzerland to cover the Geneva Motor Show, we thought it was high time we talked about upcoming innovations in automotive tech.

And when we say 'catch up with everything' we actually mean a tiny percentage of what went down at the show. For much, much more, check out our special MWC coverage page. Continue reading...

CNET UK Podcast 222: The sweet taste of Honeycomb

In this week's show, we talk about Google's search spat with Microsoft and the glorious non-story of an iPad 2 apparently being spotted in the wild. We were pleased that members of the House of Lords can now access documents on iPads while they work, although they aren't allowed to watch keyboard cat -- must suck to be a peer of the realm.

CNET UK Podcast 221: What's the future of mobile gaming?

Sony's new NGP handheld console has us wondering about the future of mobile gaming. It's hard to disagree that Nintendo has the right idea with its 3D console, but what is Sony bringing to the table, apart from more processing power? We discuss where the scene is heading and ponder whether the iPhone is now the king.

There's also the rest of the week's news, the most exciting Crave toys to talk about, and WTF makes a much-anticipated comeback.
