The man, the myth, the legend, the now bionic man Mr. Scott Johnson is rolling solo this evening as Eric is a being a good working man and Eileen is preparing for her new position at Google/Youtube, and again, big congrats to her. In this week’s show Scott has to choose between being able to see and a brand-spanking new iPad Mini, which actually turns out to be a challenge. And also (completely unrelated), Lens Crafters over-charges people.

In other news, Steve Wozniak teams up with the universal badass mexican, Danny Trejo, in the game Woz with a Cause due to come out next week. This description alone sells me:

“In “Woz with a Coz” on iOS, the Apple co-founder and his wife, “J-Woz,” are enjoying their evening together, taking a glide. Unfortunately, their otherwise quiet evening is ruined — not by a competitive product release — but rather by street thugs kidnapping “J-Woz”!!! Your dynamic duo of Steve and Danny must hurry and swing into action as they tear up Fusion City in their quest to rescue “J-Woz,” and maybe cause a little mayhem on their way… ”

In a radical change of pace for all of the iOS news-carrying organizations, we have gone from iPad Mini rumors to iPad Mini announcements. Along with a whole other host of announcements, some of them are genuine surprises. Speaking of which, you can’t buy a third-generation iPad anymore. Also, have you seen the new iMacs? It’s amazing how the new stuff makes the older stuff look like poo.

The votes are in and pre-orders are available, the iPhone 5 is coming on September 21st. Most of the rumors are true, AT&T customers will keep their unlimited plan, and some folks seem conflicted about how this phone will resinate with people. Which isn’t to say that people won’t buy, they did, a lot. Scott, Eric, and Eileen will discuss all of the new features of the iPhone along with the iPods. Good times will be had and your life will be improved.

Most of you folks have seen charts and graphs about the iPhone 5, so I figured I’d give you another one! All of the stuff you may expect, general processing power, screen size, and best of all, weight. Oh how I must know how many ounces less the iPhone 5 is compared to the others. Ounces count people!

On top of everything else, we’ve got a new connector with some controversy, iOS 6, earpods, a new iPod nano, and new iPod Touch. Happy reading people.

Eerie isn’t it? I said that we’d be back and we’re back! Am I a wizard? Have I always been a wizard? Then why don’t I have a demon?! Good on whoever knows that reference.
