CobWEBs Daily Edition – Google are innovators but they are also market depressors

Welcome to another week of the daily edition of CobWEBs, the flagship podcast of The Cynical Bastards!
For those who don’t remember from the other episodes, this is a new format for the show as we are going to try giving you daily bite sized chunks of our patented brand of cynicism over everything in the tech universe. The show will have a rotating host schedule between Steven Hodson, Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins and myself. You’ll always get two of us, you just never know which two!
Steven Hodson and Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins do today’s show … albeit just a wee bit late. (notice when I host, we do it on time!) Today Google announced it was launching a real-time GPS for Android 2.0 today, and the GPS manufacturers Garmin and TomTom took massive hits to their stock values. Mark and Steve hash out how Google has turned into a 1,000-lbs gorilla and what this means for the future of markets Google may target.
Push the big green button and have a listen in!
