Pocket-lint Podcast #41

The death of books, cars that chat to each other and more...


23 May 2011 18:04 GMT / By Rik Henderson

Amazon has announced that Kindle ebooks have overtaken print rivals both sides of the Atlantic, while HMV has sold its Waterstone's book chain, so the Pocket-lint team talk about the future of books and wonder whether they'll go the same way as vinyl in the not too distant future.

Stuart, Rik and Paul also look at the NXP systems that could mean that cars will start to talk to each other, invisible systems for using an iPhone and try to work out why an Israeli couple named their daughter after their favourite pastime - Facebook.

Plus, the game review of the week focuses on the stunning new L.A. Noire, although, perhaps, with surprising results.

So join the Linters for a back to its roots podcast, digitally delivered to your ears like a space age pizza.

Please send all comments and suggestions for future podcasts via the Pocket-lint feedback form. We'll read out the best of them in a future edition.
