Hasta La Gadget!

In this week’s Gadget Lab podcast, the crew fiddles around with a mildly useless iPad stylus (made by Hard Candy) before diving into more serious news about innovation-blocking cable networks, a phone you can’t have and some upcoming tablets.

We discuss the Logitech Revue, one of the first set-top boxes running the Google TV operating system. It’s a sweet device, but the problem is the TV networks have neutered it by blocking access to their internet TV channels. Jerks!

Also in the bad-news department, Apple has delayed the white iPhone 4 once again — this time until spring 2011 — and we’re fairly sure that phone is never going to ship.

Topping off the podcast with some tablet-y goodness, Wired.com’s Priya Ganapati touches on Barnes & Noble’s next Nook e-book reader, which is basically a tablet that can only be used for reading.

Speaking of do-overs, the makers of the failed JooJoo say they’ll be back next year with a family of tablets running the Android OS.
