The Engadget Podcast opens up with… you guessed it, E3 talk. The guys don’t really try particularly hard to stick to the tech side of things, so you might feel a fair amount of retread if you listen to several video game podcasts a week.
Things get back to normal around the one hour mark, inviting Joanna Stern on to talk about the Droid X. She thought the device ran pretty quickly, despite not having the proliferated Snapdragon and instead having a 1GHz OMAP chip. Josh tends to be the keyboard stickler and asks Joanna about the multitouch, swipe keyboard, which she found very usable.
The iPhone preorder debacle comes up briefly and Nilay can’t help but ponder how many phones would have been sold if only all of the requests could go through. Josh postulates that the iPhone 4 leak might have actually stopped up the works of potential iPhone buyers who would never have thought a new model would be coming out soon. Mac Mini unibody discussion closes out the show.
Trent left town, so we had to produce this podcast with our own feeble hands. If you don’t like it, blame Trent Wolbe.
