MacNotables #952: Adam Engst and Andy Ihnatko Discuss iPhone GPS Apps, the CrunchPad and Twitter vs. Facebook

Dec 9, 2009 | MacNotables

Adam Engst, Andy Ihnatko and Chuck Joiner start with a discussion on the changes on Twitter and the evils of Facebook, then turn to the death of the CrunchPad. What would it have brought to the world of tablet computing? Was it a good idea, or just a crazy one? The panel contemplates the possibilities and more, including the future of open source hardware, then debate their experiences with iPhone GPS apps. What’s the best option out there? Which should you avoid? We answer both questions, and tell you why.
