A great interview with IDG’s Paul Kent about what’s going on with Macworld 2011. Also, theGMen finally get the answer the whole world has been waiting for! How DO you pronounce Elisa Pacelli’s name?

Tim Robertson from TechFan jumps on the show, but Skype and GarageBand are just not our best friends tonight. We have a couple of audio clips from  Allison Sheridon from the Nosilla Podcastand Steve Hammond.

Guy
 is back from being ill but it doesn’t seem to make things easier for Gaz. It starts off a little rough (but Guy doesn’t edit it out because it’s funny) and gets crazy from there. Gaz thinks he may still need an AppleTV and Guy builds a RAID 1 for his iTunes content. Are Netbooks getting killed by the iPad or are they victims of their own crappiness? Android tablets are on the way (eventually), but should Apple be concerned? Would you be interested in a smartphone app that helps you through a museum, art gallery, or other attractions? The Eiffel Tower rents out iPads to do just that. Microsoft is finally putting out Windows Phone 7, some three years after the iPhone.

Gaz and Guy welcome Tim back‚again, to the MyMac.com podcast where he regales us with some pretty exciting news. He’s taking a top spot with MacSpecialist in Chicago AND starting a new Podcast to be called TechFan. We go over the iOS possibly replacing OS X (and we don’t agree), some more about the iPod Nano, a discussion on FTP and what may replace that too. We (well mostly Gaz and Tim) do some comparisons between the new AppleTV and the Mac Mini while Gaz replaces a drive in an Apple Time Capsule.

 orders and then cancels a new iPod Touch because he loves animals more than technology. Guy runs Ethernet cable which messes up the house (and doesn’t please his wife) and we have aListener Invite this week with Roman Woznik of the MacCoreTV Podcast. We have a bit of a gab about if Apple should actually reign IN some of the less well thought out apps in iTunes for iOS as it passes over 250 thousand available. Also some talk if Apple is holding the iPod Touch back to make the iPhone look even better. There’s a couple of birthdays and believe it or not, Guy accepts cash (or if you can’t swing that, call the Skype number 703-436-9501 and wish him a happy birthday!)

Guy’s the REAL old timer, while Gaz gently guides him through the 21st century with new technology. We have Neil Worton as a Listener invite as we go over all the big announcements for the September 1st Apple event. New iPods, iOS updates, iTunes 10, and a twist on an old hobby made for a pretty exciting presentation! Neil and Guy tried watching it on their iPads while out and about, but apparently 3G connectivity isn’t the best solution for a video streaming event‚ who knew?
