Gigawhat: Episode 5 – Leakages and Pads (and Froyo, too!)
Mind out of the gutter! We’re of course speaking about the white iPhone 4 delays (due to light leakage) and the plethora of tablets and slates hitting the market. Looks like the next Android firmware update (2.2 aka Froyo) will be coming soon to certain phones. Meanwhile you might want to rethink that PS3 update. All this and more in this week’s Gigawhat!
