HackCollege Audio Podcast: Take One

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for... the very first episode of our impromptu audio podcast! We get together on Skype every week for a conference call, so we figured we'd stay an extra 15 minutes and record a podcast of sorts where we discuss college-related news and tips.  Yes, it's janky and a little awkward, but it was our first try, give it time :)

We're going to try to keep this up on a weekly basis, so subscribe to us on iTunes and give us a listen on your commute to class.

 

So what do you think? Leave your feedback in the comments!

CES: eReader Roundup

For our second episode that we shot on the NBC Universal stage at CES 2010, we decided to do a roundup of all of the eReaders that were coming out this year. CES really was the year of the eReader with dozens being announced or released. And they really ran the gamut of features. Do you want an e-ink screen with an accompanying Android-powered screen? How big do you want the Android screen to be? Do you want a stylus touch screen? Do you want a finger touch screen. So many options it's almost overwhelming!

Here are the units we reviewed:

 

 

We made our choices at the end of the episode. Which one would you choose?
