Tek Nation Episode 5: Is the Epic 4G Epic?

Tek Nation is back again. Today's topics were Facebook's new "Places" feature, the Samsung Epic 4G, Intel's purchase of McAfee, and more! Personally I'm not a huge fan of the Places feature on Facebook. I don't really know why anyone would need to use it. There are already other networks for location sharing such as Gowalla and Foursquare. I think Facebook Places will fail. 

Samsung will be releasing the 2nd 4G phone to the US market on August 31, 2010. It's called the Samsung Epic 4G. The first 4G phone to reach the US market was the HTC Evo 4G. The phone features a 4 inch multi touch display with a full slide out qwerty keyboard, front facing camera, and a 5 MP camera with an LED flash. The phone also runs on Android 2.1. Personally I'm getting sick of all these Android phones. It seems like everyday there's a new phone running Android that comes out.
