Hosts Ella and Cam talking on their
MMS-enabled phones

Holy mother of Jobs, the rumours have become reality! It's iPhone week and Digital Life is not immune — we'll tackle the hallowed handset and decide whether it lives up to the hype.

Other scintillating topics of discussion this episode include a TV equipped with a pulsating red hole, a phone that will survive being dropped in the toilet and a laptop called Wind.

Rocking the mics are CNET.com.au's Ella Morton and radio rapscallion Cam St.Clair.

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 on Wednesdays 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 website.
