Last week was about the other tablets, but this week was all about the iPad 2. You’ve read all the posts and previews, but will it fly as high as Steve Jobs says it will? And what, if anything could kill the iPad 2? Watch this episode of Fly or Die to find out.
Crunchgear editor John Biggs and I also discuss the prospects of two new startups that just launched this week at DEMO, ecoATM and SocialEyes. The ecoATM is a kiosk that takes your old cell phones and recycles them for cash. SocialEyes, which I covered earlier this week, brings your Facebook friends into a multiple-party video chat experience.
As always, one of the founders of the companies we talk about appears during the show as a surprise guest to challenge our instant analysis and answer some questions. (John and I don’t know who the guest will be until halfway through the show). Be sure to watch for that exchange—it’s always my favorite part of the show.
Tell us in comments what products or apps we should cobver next week, and now you can subscribe to Fly or Die on iTunes.

With $25B in latent consumer assets available to mine and use as the incentive for all stakeholders in the chain, ecoATM will dramatically alter the current life-cycle of consumer electronics much the way 1970’s redemption value laws on bottles and cans dramatically changed their life-cycle. Given the enormous...
Internet technology dominates telecom. A billion people around the world are now armed with smartphones. Our hardware can run more amazing software, connected to more innovative services than ever. But while we’re all happily gaming, jamming and watching on our phones—what’s happening with the core of why we all have phones in the first place: communication? Sidecar started out by daring to reimagine the phone call. With version 2.0 we’ve taken the logical next step. Now, Sidecar not only enables...
