In this week’s Gadget Lab podcast, Dylan Tweney, Jose Fermoso, and Brian Chen talk about the future of Palm, the company that virtually invented the smart phone market but whose recent mistakes might put it on the brink of acquisition, or worse.
In addition, they go over the Gadget Lab’s iPhone 3G download/upload-speed survey, which is being compiled in a handy, interactive ZeeMap for everyone’s benefit, and they reveal the operating systems they use around the Wired office.
Finally, they review the Lenovo U110 notebook computer, which on top of being extremely attractive and portable also includes a creepy face recognition security feature (it’s just like living with a Fembot.)
