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.

Also--as mentioned at the end of the podcast, we want your thoughts on how to make the Daily News Podcast even better. If you have a minute, head over to this page and answer a few survey questions. It only takes a minute or two, and will help us make a more enjoyable podcast for you.
