PC World Podcast Episode 18

Join PC World editors Robert Strohmeyer, Mark Sullivan, Tim Moynihan, Melissa Perenson as they bring you the 18th episode of the PC World Podcast. This week, they discuss the pros and cons of Kindle 2, and whether or not it’s a worthwhile decision for Kindle 1 owners to fork out $359 for the upgrade. Are the best improvements merely superficial and aesthetic? Our experts offer their honest assessments, so listen in.

Also, they take a look at some of the apps that Apple refuses to sell in the App Store. Most of the applications on the rejection list are among the gross and stupid: Like, do we really need 75 applications revolving around flatulence

Notice that Gmail was down for a few hours this week? Robert explains how he coped with the outage, but the big question is this: With so much of our personal information now on the Web, should we really trust the cloud to be there when we need it?
