First things first: In this episode, Brian X. Chen and I show off the Star Trek Enterprise pizza cutter from ThinkGeek. If you know a Trek fan who enjoys eating pizza (and what Trek fan doesn’t?) this could be a fine gift. It’s weighty, shiny silver, and looks just like the starship piloted by Captain James T. Kirk. It’s not the most solidly-built cutter, though, Brian points out — as he

holds it dangerously close to my neck.

In more substantive tech news, we discuss the upcoming launch of Windows Phone 7, planned for Monday October 11. Microsoft will be taking the stage with AT&T at this press conference, which pretty much confirms that AT&T will be one of the carriers offering Microsoft’s next mobile operating system.

In other news, Cisco unveiled its Umi video phone, a $600 piece of kit that turns your HDTV into a videoconferencing system. You’ve also got to pay a monthly fee to support the Umi service. Are these guys crazy? Have they never heard of Google Chat?

Brian reviews Instagram, a hot new photo-editing and photo-sharing app for iPhones.

And we talk briefly about Sony’s risibly ugly Google TV remote, images of which popped up online earlier this week. If this is what the future of television looks like, I want to change the channel.
