Going paperless from a news perspective, the goods and bars of some news apps, whether there will be new iPods soon, whether there will be an Apple television at all, and why Apple stopped renting TV shows all figure into the discussion.

Is that possible? Is that a good thing? Ted discusses the tradeoffs, and the impact on the casual user vs the expert. Wireless sync for iOS devices and why it can be such a critical feature for the iPad, Apple’s cash position and more are also covered.

Is that possible? Is that a good thing? Ted discusses the tradeoffs, and the impact on the casual user vs the expert. Wireless sync for iOS devices and why it can be such a critical feature for the iPad, Apple’s cash position and more are also covered.

Bryan Chaffin is among them, and has a spirited debate with host Chuck Joiner about the tax implications, how past uses of cash compare, and how much is too much.

TidBITS is available through a number of channels now (at least one of which we didn’t know about until Tonya told us). Tonya talks about what it will mean for their distribution model, and why Apple may be able to calm the maelstrom that has been the delivery of iOS content and ebooks. Switching sides, Tonya also provides some perspective on these changes from the advertiser and consumer perspectives, names her favorite WWDC announcement, and what we will remember about iOS 5 in the distant future.

The biggest addition is Thunderbolt; Jim walks us through the exciting capabilities of this new interface, what you’ll be able to do with it, and why it doesn’t make your existing hardware obsolete. On the software side, Apple released FaceTime for the desktop…for $.99. Jim addresses the furor over the price and why it is largely meaningless.
