Bridget Carey makes her first appearance on CNET TV today. She’s the host of an upcoming daily tech news show on CNET called Checked In, so be sure to follow her on Twitter so you don’t miss the first episode. She’ll help us out with our story rundown today and gives her take on Lavar Burton bringing back ‘Reading Rainbow’ as an iPad app, an LA film studio constructing an underground ‘post-apocalyptic’ fortress, and the resurgence of AOL e-mail addresses as a pre-Internet status symbol.

If you weren’t lucky enough to snag one early Saturday morning, don’t lose hope yet—we expect some online distributors to continue dropping prices for existing stock, not to mention the white 64GB model that just dropped last Friday.
