Live, tonight, it's Girls Gone Gadgets! 14
When Kevin introduced you to Mobile Nations, he mentioned some of the great new initiatives we had planned. We've been hard at work on one of those for a while now -- Mobile Nations Broadcasting.
Mobile Nations Broadcasting brings together all your favorite audio shows, including the Android Central Podcast, the CrackBerry.com Podcast, iPad Live and iPhone Live, the PalmCast, and the WPCentral Podcast, along with our cross-site, cross-industry Mobile Nations Podcast, and new shows we've added over the summer, including ZENandTECH to help you center your inner geek, Iterate on mobile design and user experience, and Superfunctional to keep our bodies in balance with our gear. And we've brought them to life -- with video.
We've got some great new technology behind us and it lets us not only stream all our hosts, for all our shows to you in real time, but make them available to you afterwards on YouTube, via RSS and iTunes, and... well let's just say a lot more places to come. We've already launched Monday Brief, Android Central Video, iPad Live Video, iPhone Live Video and TiPb TV, ZENandTECH Video, and Mobile Nations Video, and we'll have the other shows on your screens and your TVs very, very soon. And we're not stopping there. We have a few other new shows in the pipeline as well and we can't wait for you to see them. Starting tonight, with Girls Gone Gadgets.
Girls Gone Gadgets is hosted by Georgia and Ashley Esqueda, two of the smartest, savviest, sexiest, and most entertaining women in tech. They'll be bringing you everything from Android to iOS, from the hottest devices to the latest gadgets, from kickass apps to the most mind-blowing accessories you can imagine.
GGG premieres tonight at 10:30pm EDT. See you there!

I can't wait!
...why did i just picture phones and tablets flashing me....weird!
Why not just call it 3G to go with the mobile theme?
If it's called GGG, why is it spelled with Q's?
Perhaps rethinking the GGG moniker would be wise, as googling GGG girls very quickly yields some NSFW atrocities...
YES! I will be there. Not because I'm a girl but because I'm a boy.
Per Dan Savage, GGG stands for "good, giving, and game."
I guess I *have* to watch.
Why not give a link to the show page in the article? Is it supposed to be a secret, or am I missing some "geek obvious" link somewhere on the page? And yeah, I tried the graphic.
Sorry to spoil the party, but I'd say the audience for such an event is very reduced: If you are on the feminist side, it's plain sexist. If you are on the macho side, well... it's too much pink hearts.
Of course, pollitically correct position is to stay exactly in the middle. Which makes one realize that, honestly, that's a very narrow position to stand in.
Enough gratuitious psychoanalysis from me - Now, back to technology.
"two of the smartest, savviest, sexiest, and most entertaining women in tech".
Why, oh, why bring up sexiest? Is that a characteristic helpful or even required for a woman to work in tech? Or rather for Mobile Nation? If it is, that must be grounds for prosecution, even in the US. If not, why bring it up?
Think for a moment of a female reader, who would love to work in with tech reporting but doesn't feel that **** How do you think the attitude displayed in this post makes her feel? Encouraged? These are the structural barriers that everyone says they want to abolish but very few care to actually see or change how they act to accomplish.
I am very disappointed in Mr. Ritchie, Mobile Nations and pre|central for this display of this stale attitude.
Btw, I am a man, has no interest in working in the tech reporting industry and if I feel **** or not is none of your business :)
Nice bro, sooo money. Maybe one of them will want to date you now that you so nobly joined the women's rights movement.
You're an idiot
My reaction as well. You don't see Derek Kessler introduced that way.
I get the whole **** sells" idea, but this site is close enough to journalism to make it offensive to stoop to "sexiest" as a description of your contributors.
Just ask CNN how well that approach worked with Paula Zahn.

Well now that is BRILLIANT. I get asterisks instead of the word I typed referencing the word used by this site. Bravo.
