Tech Lunch ep009 - Walking in the air

After a slightly longer than usual pause, Denis-Jose, Markel & Richard find themselves in a new NoHo location in central London, talking tech over a spot of lunch!

There's an emphasis on Laptops this time round, with Richard eagerly awaiting his brand new i7 base Macbook Air and Markel sporting a pair of Dell XPS (while still clinging to his latitude with attitude). Meanwhile, Denis-Jose's Macbook Air has taken a bit of a beating.

Markel talks us through his 'myFi' portable hotspot and Denis-Jose has splashed out on a fancy Radio Lapel Mic, whilst Richard has once again convinced Nikon to lend him so fancy camera gear.

This month the boys - Denis-Jose, Markel & Richard - return to last months lunch location in NoHo, Central London and have a longer than usual ramble about a very wide range of... Stuff!

The big news this month is, of course, iPad 3, but not as big as the fact that Markel actually stood in line for one!. Despite giving it to his wife as a present he managed to sneak it out of the house for us to croon over. Richard tells a cautionary tale about shopping at HMV on Oxford Street... and why he prefers John Lewis. Denis-Jose tried to find a bargain in Game, but failed.

As well as bringing in the iPad 3, Markel also aquired an USB FM Transmitter and a USB adapater for his laptop power block.
