Gadget Lab Podcast: Netflix Backlash, Jawbone Bracelet, Toshiba Tablet



This week on the Gadget Lab?s podcast, the crew talks about Netflix?s new pricing plan, Jawbone?s health-and-wellness bracelet and Toshiba?s new tablet product.

Netflix recently announced major changes to its prices, and staff writer Mike Isaac gets to the bottom of the company?s true motivations are. Here?s a hint: say goodbye to your DVDs.

Next up is Brian Chen with his take on a new bracelet from Jawbone, a funky looking device that tracks your every move to see how healthy you are. Will it take off? Maybe ? if the company improves the look.

Finally, product reviews editor Michael Calore swings by with Toshiba?s brand new Android tablet, the Thrive. Loads of external ports make for connectivity to peripheral devices, that?s a big bonus for the hardcore geek with myriad supporting hardware.

And we couldn?t help but mention the debut of Spotify, the heavily hyped streaming music service that just made its way stateside after being available in Europe for quite some time. We?ll be logging some serious listening hours this week.
