DESCRIPTION:
Griffin talks about how Meg Whitman (eBay's ex-CEO) is looking to run for Governor of California as a Republican. He also talks about Facebook's usage actually being WAY UP since the redesign. Griffin also talks a lot about the Kindle 2 from Amazon and what features got upgraded, etc. He also talks about the delay that was given to the Palm Treo Pro and how the Palm Pre is only a few months away - is it even worth releasing the Palm Treo Pro? Griffin ends the show talking about Ford looking to release Electric Cars including an Electric Van called the Ford Transit Connect. Also look for a Ford Electric Small Car in 2011 and an "advanced hybrid" by 2012!

QUESTION OF THE DAY:
#1: What do you think about the Kindle 2 by Amazon - Do you have the first Kindle - you getting the second version? TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

#2: What are your thoughts on the delay of the Palm Treo Pro and the Palm Pre coming out soon?

i wouldnt buy a treo when the pre is comming soon. and as far as the kindle WOMP. waste of money just buy a nettop for that price. and read the book off of there.

the point is usually the lightness and not dealing with a back-light. I have a sony reader prs-505 and I use it all the time. I wouldn't get a Kindle though, since they don't support word files like sony, which I use a lot.

WestRoxGrl-

It's cool to hear from someone that reads using one of these e-readers. I like holding a book while I read and if you read so much I'm guessing perhaps you miss actually holding a book or no?

Thanks for watching and commenting - awesome

complexgrafix- i agree with you about buying a netbook but some people are hardcore readers and want just a book reading gadget. :)

The Palm Pre is going to rock the house - very exciting stuff :)

Not planning on getting the Kindle, seems like a one trick pony to me.

Palm needs to get that Pre out!

I miss the pages sometimes, but I get so lost in the stories I rarely think of it anymore. I'm a writer and really like reading my stuff on the go so easily.

I'm happy to watch. I just found your videos but I'm really liking them so far. Keep up the good work.
