Tech Weekly podcast: Windows 7, and Rummble's mobile tool

It might have been a Bank Holiday on Monday, but your tireless Tech podders rest for no man, woman or machine!

This week, Aleks Krotoski, Bobbie Johnson and myself invite the Guardian's venerable computer editor Jack Schofield into pod cave to explain everything you might need to know about the forthcoming (although not entirely imminent) Windows 7 - the next generation of Microsoft's ubiquitous operating system.

It'll have multi-touch and better security - but do we know much more than that? PC Pro's John Honeyball helps us unravel the rumours from the fact.

Rummble.com's Andrew Scott also joins us in the pod to be Elevator Pitched on the mobile location based service, one of more than 50 to use Yahoo's new location-brokering service Fire Eagle. Is this is a big invasion of our privacy, or something genuinely useful?

That, plus the useful nuggets from the Guardian's technology blogs and not a small farewell to one Bobbie Johnson. Now where could he be off to, we wonder?
