Topics in this Podcast:

This week we have a slew of audio reviews and initial impressions. Initial impressions for the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX3100 and the Jabra jx10 Bluetooth headset. I go through a final review of the Shure E3g gaming canalphones, Logitech Cordless Presenter, 180s Tek Fleece ear warmers with integrated headphones, and the Sennheiser PC160 gaming headphones with integrated microphone. I actually use the PC160 for the duration of the podcast, so if you like the way it sounds, pick one up today!

Couple news bits to cover. Sony settles with New York state over the rootkit fiasco. Millennium Music offers and exchange program like none other - send them your CDs, and they'll send you a nice, new iPod! Sweet! LG is set to launch a line of MP3 players - the FM20 - with built in stress relieving noise creation. I talk about a PC program that does this called Brainwave Generator. Check out the free download for some funky brain goodness. And finally, try coupon code select35 at the Shure store. You're welcome! :)

Last, but not least, the CES keynote coverage. Vista looks great! Lots of Mac OSX undertones, but keeping with the familiar Windows interface. Not much on Media Center Edition or the XBox 360, but a noticeable push for content partners and HD-DVD. There will be an external HD-DVD drive for the XBox 360, but listen on for the strange caveats surrounding this big announcement. Finally, Windows Mobile demos on the Treo 700w, and Windows Live Messenger. Overall, lots of new tech coming this year, so get ready for some zaniness!
