Engadget Podcast 246 - 07.01.2011

Get up, wake up, wake up: it's the first of the month, and it's also a Friday, so gather the fam 'round the glowing laptop by the fireplace and fire up the 246th edition of this, the Engadget Podcast. Dana Wollman rolls with us this time around the week in tech, which featured a generous stacking-up-upon of the already gigantic pile of tablets we have lying around HQ. We also had a plus-sized shot from the dark out of Mountain View and a healthy smattering of statistics and other news-morsels we know you wanna hear about. It's all here for you for free, so get at it!
