Engadget Podcast 220 – 12.03.2010

by Jon Cole in Tech431 days ago

This week’s Engadget Podcast starts off with… a Lenovo advertisement, which is an oddly high point for the show as it shows some form of legitimacy. The holiday blitz has hit the tech industry in full, with Verizon making a huge splash with the upcoming wide release of 4G LTE service in over 30 markets. Nilay briefly details the pricing plans for the USB modems to go out on release and Josh goes into his experience with the LG product. After a strange survey about the iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab hit the internet like wildfire, Engadget...

CastMedium Podcast 046 – 08.04.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech556 days ago

This episode’s recording was split over 2 nights due to some internet troubles, but it is better for it. We start with the teaser info leading up to the August 12th reveal of Irrational Games’s new title, and then move on to lament the quickly approaching end of The Idle Thumbs Podcast. In games, we quickly hit StarCraft 2 again and move on to discuss the recent changes to the IGN ratings system. Tech is full of Apple discussion starting with the new Apple gear and then moving on to the new iOS 4.0 jailbreak (which I used). Erik saves...

This is Only a Test – Episode 21 – Massive Outtakes – 7/28/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech561 days ago

The Samsung Captivate is an impressive piece of hardware with a poor UI. Will’s replaced his iPhone 4 with the Android smart phone, and talks about the third-party solutions to its software problems. The Library of Congress has issued new exceptions to the Digital Millenium Copyright act, allowing people to jailbreak phones, and crack DVDs and games. StarCraft 2 came out this week, and Will’s been playing that on his own. He says the single-player challenges train players for multiplayer, but he hasn’t yet ventured online. A host...

This is Only a Test – Episode 20 – This is a Zed-Free Zone – 7/22/2010

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech567 days ago

It’s been a slow news week for tech. So with Norm at Comic Con, Tested writer Matt Braga joins from Canada for a QA episode. First, though, they have a less tightly regimented chat than usual. They’ve been maintaining a Team Fortress 2 server and playing Alien Swarm — the new, free top-down shooter from the makers of Left 4 Dead. They briefly discuss Matt’s sci fi feature and Will’s (unfavorable) iPhone 4 review. He’s moving on to an Android so they talk about some of the handsets he could buy. The last half...

This is Only a Test – Episode 18 – We’ve Got New Digs Baby! – 7/8/2010

by Alex Martin in Games582 days ago

The first news Will and Norm get into is of the death of Microsoft’s Kin. They sold anything between 500 and 8000 of the feature-phones. Will liked the smaller form factor of the Kin One, but ultimately a lack of smart-phone features and a high price killed it. The Nexus One gets an OS update to Android 2.2 this week. It’s a good iteration over 2.1, but Will doesn’t expect any big changes until Gingerbread — Android 3.0. John Lewis (they weren’t sure but yes, it is the UK’s Macy’s) has said the next iPod...

Engadget Podcast 195 – 05.07.2010

by Jon Cole in Tech643 days ago

Michael Gartenberg joins the Engadget podcast once again, stepping in for the usually present Paul Miller. As the primary contributer to the “Entelligence” column on Engadget and father of a couple teenagers, Michael is able to offer a little bit of insight into the Kin One and Kin Two phones that were recently released by Microsoft. Michael ultimately ends up offering a defense of the device, forgiving some of the smaller details in favor of the broad concept of the phone. Josh and Nilay won’t have it, though, criticizing the...

Engadget Podcast 194 – 04.30.2010

by Jonathan Downin in Tech651 days ago

HP’s buyout of Palm is up first this week and guys weren’t expecting it. The conversation has the guys speculating on how HP will handle Palm, and ideas about how WebOS will be utilized in HP’s tablet plans. The guys also quickly touch on the somber news of Microsoft’s Courier project being canned in which Josh puts forth an amazing analogy about a team of scientists trying to genetically engineer a dragon with diamond eyes– serious, listen to this. The most contentious topic this week is Steve Jobs open letter about...

Engadget Podcast 186 – 03.05.2010

by Jonathan Downin in Tech706 days ago

Get ready for some legal talk at the beginning of this one. Joshua and Nilay spend the first 25 minutes discussing some of the intricacies of Apples filings against HTC, and they are not holding back. Nilay puts his lawyering hat on and at one point asked Joshua to define the word “obvious.” There is some good stuff in here and both provide valid points. Paul had a chance to see the newly announced TiVo Premiere a few days ago and he was not exactly blown away. The do agree that TiVo is still the best DVR around though, so if you can...

Tekzilla | Episode 95

by Jonathan Downin in Tech952 days ago

Up front Patrick and Veronica are discussing how to get the most out of your notebook in the realm of audio. They cover amplifiers and break-out boxes that can make you notebook sound better than you have ever heard it sound. Of course Patrick throws in his 2 cents with a little DIY soldering action as well. The real stand-out this week is the smartphone discussion with PC Magazine’s Sascha Segan. He really knows his phones and he is on the show this week talking about the iPhone, Palm Pre, Blackberry and Android phones. Along with...

Engadget Podcast 153 – 07.03.2009: Independence Day edition

by Jonathan Downin in Tech952 days ago

The Olympus E-P1 has a lot of people excited. The somewhat retro styling packaging for a fairly full-features SLR style camera in a small form factor is pretty cool. Joshua did a mini review of it, but there are some problems with it including lens focus problems. Wii MotionPlus has not really won over the Engadget crew. They are self-admittedly somewhat over the Wii, but they are pretty excited about Project Natal. The rumors of Dell launching an Android powered mobile internet device has the guys excited to talk about where the MID market...

As you probably know by now, Amazon announced their Kindle DX which is basically a Kindle 2 with a larger 9.7 inch screen. It is being positioned as a textbook and newspaper device. Ryan and Peter seem to feel like it is in a weird place release and product wise and doesn’t sell itself to students too well with its rather hefty $489 price point. It may be better suited to a subsidized newspaper market though. There have been rumors flying around about a new motion-controlled interface for the Xbox 360 that uses a motion bar. While...

MacBreak Weekly 139: Deploy The Ponytail

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1011 days ago

Quickly up-front Leo mentions the rumors that Apple is looking to aquire some other big companies. He mentions Twitter, but EA has also been rumored to be in Apple’s sights. Apple is very cash heavy and recessions are a great time for acquisitions, but Twitter just doesn’t make sense. With Apple making some serious waves in the gaming scene with the iPhone and iPod Touch the idea of them acquiring EA is interesting. The first real topic to be covered this week is the rumor that Amazon will be introducing a new, larger screen Kindle...

Engadget Podcast 132 – 02.06.2009

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1099 days ago

Engadget is doing something really cool. In the wake of all the bad news of daily layoffs, they have decided that they will give away something tech related every day. A lot of companies have decided to take part in this so there will be some cool stuff to be had. The announcement that the cheapest version of Windows 7 that will be purchasable at a store will be $260. That’s just crazy. On top of that, there are a confusing number of versions you will be able to buy. Give us 1 version, with everything in it, at no higher than $150,...

gdgt weekly 015 – 12.12.2008

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1156 days ago

Barely squeaking in on their new Thursday release schedule (if you are on the West coast), Peter and Ryan are cover a lot this week. These guys have always been very phone and handset focused and not much has changed. The 2 man relaxed style is really working here. I love that the conversational style is very relaxed without skimping on technicalities. Add in a heavy dose of industry analysis and you can see how these guys got where there are today. With CES looming in January, Palm’s gone and dropped its first press invite in ages —...
