Adam Engst, Andy Ihnatko and Chuck Joiner start with a discussion on the changes on Twitter and the evils of Facebook, then turn to the death of the CrunchPad. What would it have brought to the world of tablet computing? Was it a good idea, or just a crazy one? The panel contemplates the possibilities and more, including the future of open source hardware, then debate their experiences with iPhone GPS apps. What’s the best option out there? Which should you avoid? We answer both questions, and tell you why.

The MacJury is called to order to discuss the new 27″ iMac and why, with its large display, i7 quad core CPU and hyperthreading, it is a game-changer in the desktop computer space. Is it just the best iMac yet, or a harbinger of a coming move to a true television-style device from Apple? Evidence is also heard on Apple’s purchase of LaLa and what it might mean for the future of Apple’s music business, how the North Carolina data center may figure in, and how it might just fit in to the much ballyhooed Apple Tablet. Speaking of tablets…the MacJury passes judgement on the JooJoo pad, the internet tablet that is rising from the ashes of the CrunchPad. The panel that gets all this done includes:

Jim Dalrymple of The Loop discusses the firestorm he started on Twitter by agreeing with Apple’s Phil Schiller on the iPhone App Store approval. Acknowledging that the process is far from perfect, Jim makes the case from Apple’s side by using easily understandable comparisons. Apple is purchasing the cloud music service, LaLa, and Jim comments on why it happened, Apple’s balance of acquisition vs. internal development, and speculates on some of the possibilities it brings to the table. We also talk to Jim about why the iPod touch may insure Apple’s smart phone dominance in the future, and get the latest updates on his music project.
