Welcome to the third installment of Digital Life, our new radio show and podcast for tech-tuned ears. This week we find out why Australia's broadband is so bodgy, get the lowdown on Twitter and salivate over the super-sexy Xperia phone.

Your hosts are CNET.com.au's Ella Morton and rather-more-legitimate radio presenter Cam St.Clair, with a cameo this week from Craig "One-man (broad)band" Simms.

Each week we bring you a bunch of chatter on the latest news, cool products and burning issues in the gadget world. The show goes out on radio from 10pm (8pm for the WA dwellers). To see if there's a station near you, visit TheRadio.com.au. You can also listen online from 10pm via the Sea FM Web site.

Check out the podcast of the show below, and listen to all three episodes on our Digital Life podcast page.
