CNET News Daily Podcast: Kindles, Droids, and gadgets for the blind

In today's episode, we talk about Amazon's new Kindle software application for PCs, a super cheap Windows 7 laptop that costs about the same price as a copy of the new operating system, and Google's gift of free airport Wi-Fi for the holidays.
