On the heels of the iPad announcement, and shortly after our 2 hour long live stream, we (more like Josh) thought it'd be a good idea to do a quick wrap up.

This week Luca teams up with Sean Rioux to show off some music making applications as well as a controller for the iPad and iPhone. If you're thinking about getting into making music on your iOS devices, this is a must watch. We chat about, and show off: Rockmate for iPad The iRig Midi The Korg iMS-20 Application The Alesis DM Dock Akai SynthStation49 GarageBand for iPad The iPad Camera Kit

In this week's episode Brennan and Elle take a look at Temple Run and Cart Rider Rush, both free apps for the iPhone, and both loads of fun, kinda. Oh, yeah. We should also welcome Elizabeth Cooke to the podcast. She's going to be on episodes from time to time talking video games. Give her some love on Twitter.

In this week's episode we sit down with N-Product co-founder Dom Coballe to talk about the Deckster iPod nano timepieces. The iWatch case from N-Product is built with a variety of materials, and made by hand, and it's entirely designed, produced, and assembled in North America. Some of the straps are designed using recycled materials like bike tire rubber, inner tube rubber, as well as leather.

In this week's episode Luca and Brennan take you through our studio setup for the video podcast. We get a lot of emails asking how we pull off the show on a weekly basis, so we thought we would dedicate it an episode to covering all that fun stuff.

On this week's episode Brennan and Justin take a look at a couple of iOS games. Justin shows off Sonic Racing (It's kinda like Mario Kart), and Brennan talks about his Infinity Blade II obsession and problems.

This week Brennan and Luca bring you two completely different products. First they look at an addicting, and insane game called Monster's Ate My Condo by the Adult Swim team. It's great fun. On the other end of the podcast Luca shows off a product from CineGrain that's pretty much the equivalent of applying hipsterish effects to your photos, but for video instead. It's main purpose? Making your digital films look more like traditional film. Quick side note: We've seemed to pick up some echo/hiss in this episode. We apologize for that. We're working hard to eliminate the problem.

We've spent a lot of time over the last couple of episodes talking about some peripherals and camera gear. Just so you know, we're pretty obsessed with applications too. In this week's episode the guys talk about two apps that they're absolutely obsessed with these last few months: Instacast HD Path

This week the guys are going to take a look some fantastic products from Tether Tools. While it' snot mentioned specifically, table top that is shown off during the video is also from Tether Tools. The products shown off this week: SecureStrap ($18) JerkStopper ($22) AeroXDC External Compartment ($50.00) Aero Table ($200.00)
