Sorry for the shitty audio quality this week, there was an accident with a time machine, three condoms, and our new podcasting mixer that resulted in stripping the audio from a FLV and editing that to make a podcast. This week, we talk about a ton of stuff that isn't the iPad, answer reader questions, and eat pie.

This week, Norm and Will are joined by special guest, Gary Whitta--editor, screenwriter, and Apple enthusiast--to talk iPad, iPhone OS 4.0, and coffee on an almost exclusively Apple podcast. Despite some technical difficulties that were entirely Will's fault, the show must go on, and Norm's audio comes in about 10 minutes into the show. Sorry about that.

It's iPad launch week, so naturally we talk about all the awesome stuff we've been working on for Tested, including the real reason the Lord of the Ring Blu-ray discs look shitty, the best way to make a single cup of coffee, and yes, the iPad.
