The Engadget crew is working overtime with their coverage of the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show kicking into high gear. This is the 1st of daily podcasts that the trio will being doing over the course of the show.

Nexus One talk starts things off, and while it is a good smartphone, it isn’t quite enough for a phone coming from Google. Rumors have been swirling that Steve Ballmer may be introducing a Microsoft tablet device during tonight’s press conference.

Asus has a ton of new offering that they are showing off, and some are better than others– and some are just downright ridiculous. Wait for the NX90 and Wave Face discussion, you won’t be disappointing. E-book discussion is pervasive and excitement for the Boxee Box finishes the show, but there is plenty more coming with another podcast tomorrow.

What fits in a doublewide trailer, loves Lady Gaga, and smells like the 3-week-old oil in a neglected deep fryer? Why, it’s Engadget’s 2010 CES coverage, of course! Join us for the first in a series of what is destined to be a spellbinding and uncensored peek into the private lives of your favorite bloggers during an annual melange of stress, sleep deprivation, and wacky concept devices. It’s the Engadget Podcast – beaming the shimmering seediness of Las Vegas direct to your home and/or portable media player for far too many years running.
