This Week On The TC Gadgets Podcast: Amazon Fire Phone, Ink & Slide, And Slingshot

The podcast is packed this week, with six of us talking over each other about some of the most exciting news of the week.

If you didn’t hear, Amazon launched its own smartphone called the Fire phone, complete with special shopping features and 3D effects. Adobe, meanwhile, introduced the Ink and Slide, a digital pen and ruler for artists and designers. And in true Facebook fashion, the social network launched a new app called Slingshot meant to compete with Snapchat. Oh, and Yo.

We discuss all this and more on this week’s episode of the TC Gadgets Podcast featuring John Biggs, Matt BurnsJordan Crook, Natasha Lomas, Romain Dillet, and Darrell Etherington.

Have a good Friday, everybody!
