This is Only a Test

This week, the Tested crew talks about the KIN One and Two, HP's new Envy notebooks, some more iPhone OS 4 news, the new Netflix UI for Roku owners, Bumptop and Google, Google's New UI, and a little about Chrome 5. Check it out.

Big happenings in the tech world this week. Norm and Will talk about HP buying Palm, the cancellation of Courier, Steve Jobs' memo on Flash, the HTC Incredible, Ubuntu 10.04, and Flash acceleration on Mac. All that, plus reader questions and a lot of talk about the MakerBot on this week's episode of This is Only a Test.

All sorts of exciting stuff happened this week. Norm and Will talked about a whole lotta leaks. Apple's next-gen iPhone leaked to Gizmodo, Dell's next-gen tablets and cell phones leaked to Engadget, and Hulu's plans for a pay-service leaked to the LA Times. All that, plus listener questions on this week's This is Only a Test.

Sorry for the shitty audio quality this week, there was an accident with a time machine, three condoms, and our new podcasting mixer that resulted in stripping the audio from a FLV and editing that to make a podcast. This week, we talk about a ton of stuff that isn't the iPad, answer reader questions, and eat pie.

This week, Norm and Will are joined by special guest, Gary Whitta--editor, screenwriter, and Apple enthusiast--to talk iPad, iPhone OS 4.0, and coffee on an almost exclusively Apple podcast. Despite some technical difficulties that were entirely Will's fault, the show must go on, and Norm's audio comes in about 10 minutes into the show. Sorry about that.

It's iPad launch week, so naturally we talk about all the awesome stuff we've been working on for Tested, including the real reason the Lord of the Ring Blu-ray discs look shitty, the best way to make a single cup of coffee, and yes, the iPad. The first wave of reviews are online, so it's the first new info we've gotten on the unicorn tablet since January 25. All this, on the official podcast of Tested.com.

It's CTIA week, so there's a lot of talk about cellphones, MIDs, and tablets. This week, Norm and Will talk about the Sprint/HTC 4G Android phone, the Joo Joo, Samsung's latest Android phone, Windows 7 Phone, Netflix on the Wii, America's Next Top Model, South Park, Adobe's upcoming CS5 suite, Nintendo's 3Ds, Microsoft's Project Natal, and the first leaked iPad apps.

This week, Will and Norm talk about the latest Windows Phone 7 Series details, the Nexus One on Sprint and AT&T, pirates, LCD and LED technology, lossless audio compression, and a whole lot more. Oh, and the Xbox 360's rumored upcoming support for non-Microsoft USB keys.

This week, Norm and Will talk about the happenings at the Game Developer Conference, OnLive, Nvidia's Fermi, Intel's 6-core CPUs, Sony's motion controller, and Air Video. Also, check out the (very NSFW) in the forums--and linked below in the comments.

On this week's show, Norm and Will discuss our Norm's first week, the Nexus One, our first video test, the iPad's release date, Windows Phone 7, Microsoft Courier, Nvidia's driver woes, and a whole lot more.
