Shownotes:
Google’s getting in the holiday spirit. They want to provide free WiFi for travelers in 47 airports across the country. The only downside is being asked to download Chrome (do it!) and if you want to set Google as your default search engine.
Amazon released the Kindle PC App, which uses Whispernet, so you can switch between devices and always pick up where you left off.
Intel is developing an eReader for the visually impaired. It has a text scanning camera and a text-to-speech synthesizer.
The Sparkz Pico Projector is a dock that will charge your iPhone or iPod and project up to 60 inches. You can see the demo video here.
I’ll be getting a Nokia N900 for review soon. They’re shipping out to Europe, the Middle East, Russia and North America.
