This week’s discussion starts with talk of Dell’s Adamo inspired Vostro V13. It takes most of the style of the Adamo and brings into a palatable price range. Joshua’s Nook review is up, and he liked it, but the consensus here is that e-ink just has too many limitations and won’t be around long.

The Zune HD just gets better and better. Microsoft has loaded the Zune Marketplace with a few free 3D games, including indie classic Audiosurf and a version of Project Gotham Racing.

The DROID is taking over. Glancing at the time break-down of the show, you may think that the main DROID talk takes in the first 20 minutes, but it actually runs through the first 40 minutes. There is a lot to say (see the review) about the new handset, and the guys generally agree that [...]

It’s a phone-heavy show this week, but the guys are starting out with Toshiba’s entry into the tablet market. It’s almost like Toshiba is trying to cash-in on the Apple tablet rumors, but with a device based on Windows Mobile 6.0 they will have a hard time convincing anyone that it is worth their money.

Apple announced their foray in the burgeoning tablet market on Wednesday with the iPad. After years of speculation it is safe to say that the Engadget guys are a little underwhelmed and somewhat skeptical. Their biggest point here is that the use case for this kind of device has still not been made.
The lack of multitasking [...]
