Ryan and Peter are back to talk about their impressions of the iPad and they provide a lot of insight here. On par with the Engadget crew, the gdgt guys try to examine all aspects of what the iPad is, and what it needs to be for them to be happy. The ‘no multitasking’ card [...]

gdgt weekly 069 – CES wrap-up
January 18th, 2010
If you just haven’t had enough CES coverage, this should top you off. The gdgt guys are back, after a rather lengthy hiatus, to cover CES 2010 with a 2 part special episode. Instead of doing daily podcasts, the decision was made to take a retrospective look at the show and talk about the most notable products [...]
gdgt weekly 065
December 5th, 2009
It’s a rather dry episode this week. Friend of the show, Michael Gartenberg is on, and quite frankly, the show suffers a bit for it. While he has some nice insight into the topics of the week, the atmosphere of the episode is quite different, and the fun flies out the window.
The recent declaration [...]
gdgt weekly 064
November 22nd, 2009
Ryan starts off Chrome OS talk by announcing that one of the gdgt’s engineers compiled the developer code preview, placed it into a VMware virtual machine, and made it available on their site. Beyond that, Ryan is mostly unexcited about the OS considering its not much more than a browser. In his characteristic optimism, Peter [...]

November 17th, 2009
The Palm Pixi is now available and the verdict is mixed. WebOS has not taken off in the way that Palm would have hoped, and the guys argue that the only real chance they have is if they expand to other carriers. The Blackberry Storm 2 also receives middling opinions, but the addition of more [...]
gdgt weekly 062
November 5th, 2009
The recent news that Best Buy is looking to team-up with CinemaNow to deliver digital content is the first topic up this week. If they can get the hardware partnerships in place, this could be a formidable entry into a burgeoning market. Apple has the same sort of idea and is rumored to be looking [...]
gdgt weekly 061
October 29th, 2009
Any other week, the announcement of Netflix coming to PS3 would be big news, but it has been overshadowed by the inundation of activity in the mobile world.
Palm has announced that the Pixi will be launching next month for $99. While this is a reasonable price, it is going to be a hard sell against [...]

October 26th, 2009
Tired of hearing about Windows 7 yet? The opinions are the same here as they have been everywhere– it’s good. The guys get into the Apple updates and the iMacs seem to be the biggest win. Ryan laments that he would like to pick one up, but he just can’t make the move to a [...]
gdgt weekly 059
October 15th, 2009
The Danger/Sidekick data loss situation has been the biggest story of the week. Danger holds all of Sidekick user’s data in the cloud and something went horribly wrong and they lost all of that data. This has called the idea of keeping all data in the cloud into question for many people. According to Danger, [...]
gdgt weekly 058
October 9th, 2009
Windows Mobile 6.5, now known as Windows Phone is the first topic up this week and the guys don’t have too many good things to say about it. It is more of a stop-gap measure for Microsoft and we won’t see a true smartphone OS competitor from Microsoft until version 7. Ryan does give some [...]
gdgt weekly 057
September 28th, 2009
This episode came out 4 days late, but it’s here. There are a lot of topics covered this week with the guys starting out with the leaked image of Microsoft codename “Pink” phones. This is supposedly coming out of the Danger, makers of the SideKick, which Microsoft acquired a couple years ago. Ryan thinks that [...]
gdgt weekly 072
February 12th, 2010
Beginning the conversation on this week’s episode of gdgt weekly is Google’s software integration of multitouch into Android 2.1. Peter and Ryan agree that multitouch was virtually the only major feature missing from Android’s offerings and Ryan briefly shares some of his experience with an updated Nexus One. Staying on the smartphone topic, Symbian has [...]
