In this week?s Gadget Lab podcast, the crew waxes geeky on phones, bikes and exercise gear.
We kick off with the white iPhone 4, which just came out 10 months late: yes, the same phone we?ve been familiar with for a while now, in a different color. It?s even a little bit thicker than the black one. Wired.com?s Charlie Sorrel has already dubbed this scandal ?Thicknessgate.?
Speaking of scandals, the latest controversy surrounding the iPhone stems from a discovery that an unprotected file stored inside the device constantly records location data. It turns out that your iPhone isn?t actually tracking customer movements, but Apple admits it made some security mistakes.
Reviews editor Michael Calore joins the show to talk about the Breezer Uptown Infinity, a $1,270 two-wheeler that?s the textbook definition of a ?commuter bike.?
