This week on Gearlog Radio with host Robyn Peterson: Sascha heralds the birth of the LG Chocolate VX8500 cell phone; Carol laments the "downsizing" of E3; and Jen and Jeremy gab about some of the strangest gadgets we've even seen (and perhaps a new low for Gearlog Radio -- surprise, surprise).  Oh, and by the way, in order to keep our conscience clear, we have to issue a parental advisory about the second half of this broadcast.

On this week's show:

• Woe is E3? Does the recent "downsizing" of this gaming show spell doom?
• LG unveiled its new line of gadgets, including the iPod-like Chocolate VX8500 cell phone.
• Cingular lowers the bar for customer service by charging loyal subscribers high fees for using the TDMA network.
• We sent poor Jen out in the 100 degree New York City heat wave to measure the UV intensity with the handheld UVHawk. 
• iPod Vibrator:  What is it?!?  (And more importantly, what's the best tune to play?)
• To welcome the Banana Phone into existence, we all sing the Banana Phone song.
