GBTV #703 (Medium) | Sling Player on 3G, Nexus One & Droid get Multitouch, eBook Prices Rising, Twitter Makes Popcorn on 02/08/10 Zoom
Google advertised during the Superbowl. The ad wasn't new, but it was cute. I asked you guys on Twitter what you thought. Was it worth it for Google to spend this kind of advertising money? Most of you liked the ad and were happy to see it. Some of you thought they should be promoting other services or the Nexus One instead of Search. Moosimus Maximus said "Google's advert was great! Smart, funny, and touching. Google is the king of search. Eat your heart out, Bing." and Mr Bijoy said "I loved it, just don't tell my guy friends...."

AT&T announced that the Sling Player iPhone app will finally be allowed to stream over their 3G network. Previously it was only allowed to work over WiFi.

The Nexus One received an update that includes multitouch for Maps, browser and the gallery. The Droid now has multitouch in maps.

It looks like the price of best selling eBooks are indeed rising to the $12.99-$14.99 price range. Three of the major publishers have moved in that direction.

Dave Britt and Justin Goeres made a robotic Twitter-powered popcorn machine. You can see the video at CaliLewis.me/popcorn.
