Tekzilla

Nice long review from Patrick Norton and Veronica Belmont.

Thanks for pointing me at this; I enjoyed the review. You might want to mention that it's video, though, for those websurfers with limited bandwidth.

I guess that's maybe obvious to Tekzilla watchers, but I had never heard of it before.

And it is in mp4 format which a lot of people may not be able to view.

Good point! I'll change the link to the episode intro page.

The show reminds me a lot of Attack of the Show. The hosts of Tekzilla are not nearly as annoying, but the banter was very AToS like.

I liked the review, it was fairly comprehensive. I obviously already own a K2, but I'll definitely be showing this to a few of my friends who don't own one.

oh good, another excuse to watch Veronica Belmont

Yes it was a pretty comprehensive review, tekzilla are always on the ball.

Yes, the review was pretty good. But the way it was reviewed, I would have to say, that a 505, BeBook, or Gen3 might have gotten just as good a review.

Patrick hinted at having a past issue with a Sony Reader, not sure which one, so it may be out of the running. Maybe BeBook, Sony and the Cybook folks should submit readers for review.

The only thing I have to say is Patrick needs Leo LaPorte back. Tekzilla is weak without Leo. They complimented each other. This other host is a host bimbo just like the one on Attack of the Show (awful show).

I dig Leo but Patrick doesn't need his back covered him. This not "The Screensavers", it's not "Call For Help" it's a different show an should be accepted or not on it's own merrits.

I don't know Attack of the Show but I don't think you should be calling Veronica a Bimbo (she isn't). I'm sure she could out tech you any day of the week.

Veronica seemed pretty together to me.

One of the things Patrick spoke very approvingly of was the Whispernet coverage--I don't know that BeBook, Sony or Cybook can compete on that score. Even if the Sony has wifi (I vaguely recall it might), wifi doesn't work on the highway.
