Gadgetlyst Bytes

Gadgetlyst Bytes was your monthly recap of gadget news. With Tom Solari and Stewart Wilson at the helm, the episodes usually contained minimal on-topic conversation and plenty of off-topic nonsense.

We’ve created this episode to Tribute Gadgetlyst Bytes since it may not see another episode. If you think Gadgetlyst Bytes should return, please let us know.

Yes, due to Talking’s unrivalled reception, or lack of, we have decided to resume the normal podcast. This month we talk about exploding iPhones, lip reading Kinects and again, more Android stuff.

As Stewart decided during the podcast, the next Gadgetlyst Byte will be coming to you in video format from our CES studio sometime in Jan! Also Chris joins us this month and that about all I can think of at 5.30 am on a Monday morning!

See you next month!
