# Digital SLRs deliver amazing performance, and prices are dropping. We've got the deets on 4: the Nikon d50, the Canon EOS Digtal Rebel XT, the Pentax *ist DL, and the Fuji FinePix S9000. Guest which two walk away with the hightest honors? # Patrick takes apart over $3000 worth of digital cameras without breaking any...yet. # Chip makers are driving to deliver $20 cell phones by 2007. Patrick's got a $30 cell phone already. (Dude... he needs a better cell phone.) # Phishing still sucks: it's time to learn how phishers slip through the loopholes, and build your phishing IQ. # Viewer Question: Do you guys have girlfriends, or are you like every other geek out there? # Answer: Patrick is married, but Robert is single and on the prowl. Send your proposals, photos, and Hot or Not ratings to dl.tv@ziffdavis.com. # Glide Effortless wants to make sharing on the web easier. Getting consumers to adopt the website might be a little harder... # Viewer Question: How is it that the 320x240 video you release for the iPod is bigger than the 480x360 H.264 file? # Answer: Ask Apple. We've been using the iPod codec settings in Quicktime. (We're rolling our own this week... wish us luck!) # Viewer Question: Brian asks (along with about 490 other viewers), "Why don't you have a widescreen version of the show?" # Answer: well, we've only got one widescreen camera right now, but soon, soon you'll be able to see the glorious walls to the left of Patrick and Robert. Must see IPTV! In Widescreen. (Maybe we should leave the panoramic vistas to old John Ford movies...) # And, as always, a heaping helping of even move of your viewer questions!
