by Jon Cole in Games, Tech415 days ago

Mitsubishi’s Head of Product Development Frank DeMartin hops on the Engadget Show for the big interview at the top of the program. 3D televisions and software are obviously at the forefront of the consumer marketplace and DeMartin makes a spirited argument for the platform’s ability to immerse you into the content on screen. He also expresses a lot of enthusiasm for connected TV and streaming technologies, even with a little twinkle in his eye for a future undisclosed (possible Google TV) product. This week’s prerecorded segment...

The Engadget Show – 014: Aaron Woodman, Windows Phone 7, Google TV, MacBook Airs, and more!

by Jon Cole in Tech472 days ago

This month’s Engadget Show is exciting as always, welcoming Microsoft’s Aaron Woodman back onto the show to talk about Windows Phone 7 this time. Josh brings up the lack of CDMA availability right off the bat, with Aaron noting an early 2010 release on Verizon as a result of a “technology roadmap issue”. Aaron goes on to address some of the issues that the Engadget team brought up in the OS’s review, namely that some features and apps feel beta despite a strong overarching experience and more importantly multitasking. Windows...

The Engadget Show – 010: Jimmy Fallon, Kudo Tsunoda, Microsoft Kinect, iPhone 4, Samsung Captivate, Droid X

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech595 days ago

The Engadget Show is back with special guest Jimmy Fallon. It is clear that Jimmy is into technology as he affords it a lot of coverage on his late night talk show. He and Josh discuss the iPhone 4 and Jimmy’s frustration with dropped calls on his 3GS. The interview is fun, if not a little light an actual tech talk. One of the main men behind Microsoft’s Kinec, Kudo Tsunoda, is also on this week and he lets the group get some hands-off time with some titles coming for the device this fall. The group seems to enjoy their experience, but...

The Engadget Show – 009: Kevin Lynch, editor Q&A, AT&T GNOC tour, Sprint EVO 4G

by Jon Cole in Tech625 days ago

This month’s Engadget Show is a little bit less conventional than usual, starting things off with a prerecorded interview between Josh and Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch.  They hit on a lot of hot topics in the tech sphere, particularly pertaining to Flash 10.1 on mobile devices and Apple’s potshots at them.  The most interesting question asked what Kevin feels Adobe’s place is in the future of computing, which he initially flails around but ultimately says that Adobe will do whatever they can to stay relevant even in the unlikely scenario...

The Engadget Show – 008: Dr. Dennis Hong, Ryan Block, Rick Karr, ATI Eyefinity, and more!

by Jonathan Downin in Tech656 days ago

Get ready for some robot talk this time around with guest Dr. Dennis Hong. He has a lot to say about what he thinks the future holds for robots and their utility for us. Dr. Hong shows some footage of some of the prototypes he is working on, and he also brings in some retired soccer robots at the end to show them off in person. Rick Karr is back again, and his topic here is net neutrality. The segment is quite brief, but he does interview a prominent member of the Songwriters Guild of America who is arguing for net neutrality. A fun KIN parody...

The Engadget Show – 007: Nicholas Negroponte, PlayStation Move exclusive demos, Dr. Richard Marks, Joystiq’s Chris Grant, and more!

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech690 days ago

It is a jam-packed show this time around. Nicholas Negroponte, the man behind the OLPC project and all-around visionary technologist, is the first guest here and he is a great interview. The beginning of the discussion centers around his vision of the future and where technology is now and where he feels that it is heading. The latter portion is spent on the OLPC and Negroponte’s ideas of universally available resources of information. It’s amazing how the Engadget show has provided a venue for this kind of serious discussion in the...

The Engadget Show – 006: Avner Ronen, the first Windows Phone 7 Series device, Dell Mini 5, and more!

by Jonathan Downin in Tech711 days ago

It’s a packed show this time around with an interview with Avner Ronen of Boxee kicking things off. He is refreshingly candid about the curent state of the company and where they hope to be in the future. He touches on the Boxee Box, which is due in Q2, and plans to expand their hardware partnerships within 2010. Microsoft’s Aaron Woodman is the second interview and he talks at length about Windows Phone 7 Series. There are plenty of dodged questions with him pointing to MIX10 for further details, but he does whip out a previously unannounced...

The Engadget Show – 005: Google’s Erick Tseng, CES wrap-up, WiDi, AR.Drone, and more!

by Jonathan Downin in Tech753 days ago

The Engadget Show is back and the special guest on this episode is Senior Product Manager of Android, Erick Tseng. He is talking about the recently released Nexus One and the Android platform as a whole. Joshua is again taking a pretty hard-lined approach to the questions he asks here, but to little affect. Despite the lack of new information, Erick provides an overview of the state of Android and puts a human face on Android development. In the Engadget Podcast half, the guys are covering some of the bigger products of CES. They also take the opportunity to...

The Engadget Show – 004: The decade in gadgets, with special guest Peter Rojas!

by Jonathan Downin in Tech780 days ago

It’s the 4th episode of the Engadget Show, and since this is the last show of the year (and decade) the guys are talking about the last 10 years of gadgets. This is an interesting premise for a discussion, and it allows everyone a chance to talk about something they have used over the years. Peter Rojas, founder of Engadget, Gizmodo and gdgt is the special guest on this episode, and there is no one better to talk about such a myriad of gadgets. The usual suspects are represented here including the iPod, Asus EEE PC, Xbox 360 and the iPhone,...

The Engadget Show – 003: Drew Bamford, Joystiq’s Chris Grant, Adamo XPS, and lots of game demos

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech809 days ago

The Engadget Podcast and Engadget Show released on the same day– that’s a lot of Engadget. HTC’s Director of User Experience, Drew Bamford, is the special guest this time around. He has been with the company for many years and has been a driving force behind HTC’s Sense UI from the beginning. The interview doesn’t lend too much insight, but this seems to be due to the somewhat PR-speak style Bamford employs. Nilay and Paul join Joshua on stage to discuss the Dell Adamo XPS and recent redesign of Engadget.com before...

The Engadget Show – 002: Steve Ballmer, Droid, Nook, and new Macs

by Jonathan Downin in Tech840 days ago

The Engadget Show is back with its 2nd episode and this is a big one. Coinciding with the launch of Windows 7, the special guest is Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. This is a huge deal for Engadget, and really shows that Engadget is taken very seriously within the technology community. Steve Ballmer is personable, and somewhat candid here. Windows 7 starts off the discussion, and he is excited about the new iteration. As usual, Josh doesn’t shy away from the hard topics, and Ballmer handles them well. He doesn’t simply skirt questions and...
