In the wake of the latest Engadget Show, the Engadget Podcast remains surprisingly dense with tech talk. The iPhone 4 continues to be the biggest news in the industry, but the technical issues with the antenna and screen have kicked up a little bit of dust. Not to be forgotten, some of the more positive points of the phone are discussed as well, with Nilay heaping praise on the “future of mobile gaming” with the device’s gyroscope.
The Droid X fills out a mobile-heavy week of news, delivering a phone that just about everyone likes more than the EVO 4G. Furthermore, the software keyboard earns the title as best Android keyboard with just a tiny bit of argument from Josh. Motoblur makes a reemergence in this handset, which impressed Nilay overall but disappointed Josh and Paul in terms of the visual appeal (or lack thereof).
