DESCRIPTION:
Griffin talks about Facebook Chat getting 2/3rds of the entire Facebook user base (175 million) to use it. He also talks about Apple buying up all of Samsung's Available Inventory for Flash RAM - perhaps a new iPhone is coming? Confirmation that Sprint is going to be the only one with the Palm Pre in 2009. Griffin then talks about how a price war might be coming in the wireless carrier industry thanks to both Boost Mobile and T-Mobile testing out the $50 unlimited plan. He ends the show talking about how Sprint has lost another million subscribers and over a billion dollars. :(
