Engadget Podcast 247 - 07.08.2011

BW, LON is our new favorite abbreviation. In addition to kind of looking like something you'd type into a graphing calculator, it also means means big week, lots of news: in the hardware department, we've got reviews of HP's latest tactile offering and a hazy outlook on Apple's next communications device. Software's riding out another week of Google+ and finding out what it's like to be more video-centric on facebook. Lots going on in legal, too, with patent trolls of various calibers doing their thangs. We managed to hang on to Engadget founder Peter Rojas after The Engadget Show to rope it all in, too, so come join us, won't you?
