This week marks the forty-seventh Gadget Grill show. Now keep that number in mind because we share the number seven with someone else because this week, Windows 7 gets launched.
The follow-up to Microsoft’s Windows Vista – which doesn’t exactly have the best reputation – was launched this week and we were on hand to talk to Microsoft’s Jeff Putt about what’s changed in this new & important release. Plus, we’ll do what no other journalist dare would and ask about Clippy!
We’re also taking a new camera out for a spin. It’s got a touchscreen on the back and an extra screen on the front to make sure you always get those self portraits. Sadly, we can’t guarantee you’ll look like the people in the picture above, but we can give you our thoughts on the new Samsung ST550!
All of that plus celebrity tweeting, new multitouch monitors, electric motorbikes, e-book readers, and more. Oh and laughter. Lots of laughter.

I’ll keep this short. By this point, anything and everything that can be said has, I’m sure. This is my first Kindle, and I’m hooked. The only real concern I had before it came was that the size of the screen would be too small for pleasant reading. When you first take it out of the box, it does seem a bit small, but when text is on it, it’s just fine. The text on the screen looks great, too…All in all, It’s a great product. It goes with me everywhere. Very quickly, it feels like a natural reading experience. Highly recommended.
