Episode Synopsis
Can't see the video? Watch this video now in a browser or download this video now.Hooray! The economic depression is over. Oh wait, no it's not. That's probably why last week Adobe cut 600 jobs, Intel could be cutting up to 7,000, and AT&T laid off 12,000.
The iRumor Mill is in full swing, and this time it's saying that Wal-Mart could be selling a 4GB iPhone for $99 with a two year contract sometime soon. There's a good chance this won't happen, but those of you who are interested should get in line now just in case.
Truphone has released a new mobile app that lets iPod touch users make calls to other Truphone or Google Talk users. Of course, you have to connect to a WiFi network to use it, but it's free and it's cool, so that's enough for us.
The world's second Google Android smartphone is now available for pre-order. The Agora comes in two models: not quite an iPhone and not quite an iPhone Pro.
Dell has dropped its pre-install toolbar deal with Google and signed a new deal
with Microsoft to pre-install Live Search on its new laptops. Microsoft and Google are currently battling as well over a search deal with Verizon. Once that's settled, they're going to break out the corporate-sized ruler.
Facebook and YouTube have started adding support for "HD" video uploading. It won't replace Blu-Ray on your plasma screen anytime soon, but it's nice to be able to watch pointless videos in higher resolution than ever before.
Digital artists were able to bring the famed lions of Trafalgar Square to life. How? Well, if you said by projecting animated faces onto the statues, then you're right.Want to get every episode of WebbAlert automatically delivered to your iTunes software, or another great player? Click here!
