The last few weeks have been a podcasting mess. Fortunately we were able to put together a pretty in-depth show, focusing on Steve Jobs and his legacy as well as our thoughts (and disagreements) on the iPhone 4S. We even dive into our thoughts on the future of voice command/control based on Siri.

HP Touchpad
The HP Touchpad is down for the count, but that doesn’t mean it can’t go out with a bang. At $99 for the 16 GB model, the Touchpad is selling like hotcakes. It’s practically sold out in all stores. But is it really a deal that’s worth it? We look into all this and more in this week’s Gigawhat!

It’s not all fun and games as we look into some serious allegations against Facebook and even the San Francisco police department. Things aren’t looking to great for Nintendo either as investors are pressuring the big N on some drastic moves. Will Mario budge?

FOX is building up a paywall around Hulu. Could mean bad news if you’re trying to catch up on your favorite shows online. Not everything’s looking down though, that is, unless you’re Nintendo. For everyone else though, you can now catch a 3DS for $169. Still, is it worth the price? Jordan Nardick joins in as we talk about the future of portable gaming.
