AG15: To iPhone Or To Kindle?

Download Episode 15

This week Chris is all excited about his new iPhone 3Gs. Apples uber popular phone is either $99 or $199.It seems that Chris went along to the Apple store with his wife, just to keep her company while she bought a new phone. But it seems that they were handing the kool-aid at the door and Chris ended up with a phone of his very own.

Not to be outdone, at about the same time Russ acquired an Amazon Kindle DX, the ultimate in ebook readers. The Kindle DX is not cheap: $489, but there is a smaller, but perfectly usable model that goes for $299. The real cool thing about the Kindle is that you can buy and download books wirelessly right from Amazon all without a computer. If you do plug your Kindle into a computer (USB), you can download all kinds of free books (mostly classics) and load them onto your Kindle.
