Buckle up, gadgetarians! In the latest techy treat that is Digital Life we're maiming grannies and crashing through windshields in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Add some advice on high-def TV, a new EeePC and a round of MP3 and you've got yourself a wild ride through the streets of Liberty City. Where Liberty City equals the world of tech trends.

Behind the mic are CNET.com.au's Ella Morton and Cam St.Clair, with Ty "I like it high-def" Pendlebury dropping in to decipher 1080p.

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.
