May 24, 2009 – I’ve been everywhere, man…

This week on The Gadget Grill, we’ve been to Cabramatta, 
Parramatta, Wangaratta, Coolangatta… wait, no… actually, we haven’t. But these guys have…

This week, we’re talking to the people behind the GPS technology that sits in your car. They’re responsible for the maps that tell you where Point A is and how you’ll get from there to Point B. Plus they’ll even show us a video camera that uses this technology to show you where you took those videos.

Plus this week we’ve been testing out a new device that could save you if you run out of battery on your iPhone or your BlackBerry, or even your Nintendo DS and Sony PlayStation Portable. Yes, this week we’re looking at harnessing the power of the sun for our own power-mongering purposes…

All of this plus news on free iPhones, Klingon anti-virus technology, a new storage technology developed by Australians, broken breathalyzers, and a possible issue with CBS Interactive and the RIAA. That’s all this week on the Grill, so hit the podcast below to hear what sort of mess we made this week!
