Strap yourselves in for Digital Life, our radio show and podcast dedicated to the latest in tech. This week we tackle dubious download speeds, the Tom Cruise smartphone and the places you can go for your 'net video kicks.

Behind the mic are CNET.com.au's Ella Morton and Cam St.Clair, with Derek Fung bringing some camcorder talk to the mix.

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, or 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.

The podcast can be downloaded or streamed below, or you can listen to it -- along with the previous three episodes -- on our Digital Life podcast page.
