Streaming movies is a big deal these days. Netflix has really transformed the way that people rent dvds and blu-rays and it appears that they are going to capture the online streaming market before anyone else has a chance.
It’s a little strange the HTC’s G2 is probably going to be the second Android powered phone on the market after the G1. Isn’t one of the big bullet points of Android that it is open and available to anyone? Why isn’t anyone other than HTC using it yet?
It is happening again. Once more, the smooth, sultry sounds of Josh, Paul, and Nilay have come to whisk you away to that magical super-land known as the Engadget Podcast. This week, you can hear the editors sound off on a variety of scintillating subjects, including President Obama’s BlackBerry, Apple’s legal threats, Kodak’s new home entertainment ventures, and the (presumed) new HTC G2. So crank up the iTunes visualizer and prepare to be freaked out.
