In this week’s Gadget Lab Podcast, Dylan Tweney and Jose Fermoso talk about the 2008 CTIA Wireless conference, highlighting the next step in cell phone technologies like improved haptic technology and five-megapixel cameras.
In addition, they go over one of the most surprising trends from the conference: companies are actually using unique names for their products again (like Alias and Instinct), rather than the usual model number gibberish. No more 33465huv-u40!
Finally, they discuss the sublimely tacky existence of David Beckham’s golden iPhone, and why it provides the Gadget Lab team with many laughs and inspiration.
