PC Pro podcast: On this week's show the team is divided on the merits of Wolfram Alpha; we discuss Apple's advice to apply handcream to prevent shocks (yes, really); the Palm Pre's launch date comes under the spotlight; and the dual-core Atom-powered Novatech Ion vies to become our Hot Hardware of the Week.
