Shownotes:
The Google Phone is finally about to arrive. It’s called the Nexus One and rumor is there will be two versions – an unlocked one and one on the T-Mobile network.
The Philco Predicta inspired PC is something I’d love to own. It’s just a concept, but you can see more at Schultzeworks.com.
Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, chose to move away from Simon & Schuster and give Amazon exclusive eBook publishing rights. He’ll make more in royalties than he would have with Simon & Schuster.
The Piixl EdgeCenter 3770 Media PC is in a super thin chassis and is designed to mount behind a TV hanging on a wall. It’s $4,000.

Hey, I’m surprised you get anything right, nevermind when! Bone-headed ideas however, now there’s a market you have cornered heh!
You know you’ve been watching Loaded a lot more, when you think it’s all wrong that you don’t end a brief with “I’m Cali Lewis and you’ve just been Briefed”.
Nice photo of Noo Yowk at night :) There’s a star in New York ;)

Sorry I forgot to put “Cool brief, it’s got me looking at Philco stuffs” while in the midst of yet another rant.

Nexus One aka The Google phone looks pretty cool but to be honest it looks pretty darn bland compare the to iPhone or even the BB storm.

The Nexus One is a great phone feature wise.in my opinion it wont be succesfull in the long run.Why would people buy this when the can get an iPhone 3g for 100 bucks?Its all about brand recognition .
