Engadget Podcast 230 – 01.24.2011

by Jon Cole in Games, Tech380 days ago

This week’s Engadget Podcast unsurprisingly starts with the news that Steve Jobs is sidelining himself for medical reasons, leaving Tim Cook in his place. In other Apple-related news, the company managed to push through an extremely successful quarter with huge profits probably stemming from unprecedented iPad adoption. HP/Palm has finally made their move on the tablet arena, with their plans going public in another one of Engadget’s comprehensive exclusive scoops. The 9-inch “Topaz” and the 7-inch “Opal” look...

This is Only a Test – Episode 49 – The REAL Problem with Dyson Spheres – 1/20/2011

by Alex Martin in Tech385 days ago

In a change to the regular format, the show starts with news. First is Steve Jobs’ temporary break from Apple. They imagine a Jobless Apple, discuss the next iPad, and wonder if Apple will continue production of the original iPad as a cheaper alternative. One alternative to Apple’s tablet will be HP’s offerings, details of which leaked this week. They also discuss Blackberry and Android alternatives. A corporate restructuring has left Google with Larry “PageRank” Page as CEO. They think Facebook might eventually need...

Episode 48 – Parole Set for 2/10 – 1/12/2011

by Alex Martin in Movies, Tech393 days ago

With CES content still being published on Tested, Will, Norm, and Gary start this podcast with a summary of some of the show’s standout products. These include the Motorola Atrix PC/Android-phone hybrid, Lady Gaga’s camera glasses, Sony’s 3D headset, and Toshiba’s glassesless 3D TVs. They also look at why no one trend emerged as a highlight of the show. Before moving on to the news, Gary’s research (for a science fiction project) into Lagrangian points prompts an interesting, if inexpert, physics discussion. The biggest...

CastMedium Podcast 066 – 01.06.11

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Tech401 days ago

The news cycle is just kicking back into gear, so we take this week’s episode to discuss what we would like to see in games and tech this year. I start things off with my readiness for new consoles, but I seem to be alone in this. Jon then talks up the 2011 PS3 release schedule and Erik pines for day and date digital releases alongside retail launches. Jon closes-out games with love for avatar awards. In tech, I lament the now dusty-feeling state of iOS. Jon discusses what he wants to see in an iPad hardware refresh and Erik again discusses...

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...

The Engadget Show – 015: Sprint’s Fared Adib, Google TV creator Salahuddin Choudhary, Galaxy Tab, Nook Color, and more!

by Jon Cole in Tech438 days ago

This month’s Engadget Show starts off with an interview with Sprint’s Fared Adib, who’s responsible for the “procurement and development of products” from various mobile device manufacturers. He talks specifically about the groundswell of enthusiast support of the EVO 4G and how that helped pave the way for Sprint to be a major player in both the Android device and 4G speed arenas. They also delve into the necessity of Android fragmentation for the sake of carrier optimization. After an absolutely amazing segment where...

This is Only a Test – Episode 38 – Turkey Day Q&A – 11/24/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech442 days ago

It’s Thanksgiving and Norm’s thankful for his Breville Pie-Maker. He also likes the way apps scale to the seven-inch screen on his Samsung Galaxy Tab. Will doesn’t think the Boxee Box is quite finished, and is less intuitive than Apple TV. iOS 4.2 has improved the iPad, and brought AirPlay to iOS devices, allowing limited video-streaming to TVs. In lieu of news, which is slowing down anyway, they devote the rest of this massive episode to questions and answers. They answer dozens of audio questions about everything from the computers...

This is Only a Test – Episode 37 – That’s What She Said – 11/18/2010

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech448 days ago

Norm, Will, and Gary are thankful (a week early) for the futuristic world of technology we live in. They start with ESPN3, which is part of the confusing market of video-streaming boxes and services, and 3D and HD televisions they continue to discuss. Apart from testing televisual technology, Will’s reviewed the MacBook Air. They’ve tried the Nook Color, too, and expect to be impressed when it’s modded to be more functional. They wonder about the future of Android, given challenges from webOS and Windows Phone 7. After mentioning...

Tekzilla – James Cameron From Blu-con! USB 3.0 Kicks Ass. Android Beats iPhone

by Jon Cole in Tech461 days ago

After geeking out over Logitech’s new Solar-charged keyboard, Patrick and Veronica dive into a viewer question asking about USB 3.0 and its significance in the current market. They get into some actual motherboards and PCI cards with 3.0 plugs, as well as some supported hard drive enclosures and such that take advantage of the transfer speed. As per usual, the Tekzilla crew shares a website “they just can’t get enough of”, this time highlighting a unique search tool called Blekko. Patrick joins HD Nation co-host Robert Heron...

This is Only a Test – Episode 33 – In Like a Lion, Out Like a Churro – 10/20/2010

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech477 days ago

“One part erudition to ten parts mental headbanging,” it’s Tested’s podcast with Will, Norm, Gary, and Giant Bomb’s Brad Shoemaker. Before they get to the only news story of the week, they talk about some of the tech they’ve tried. Norm and Gary were left underwhelmed by Apple TV, while Will absolutely hated Sony’s confusing stab at a Blu-Ray player featuring Google TV. Norm has tried the Cyborg RAT 7 mouse, which is almost as customizable as putty. The novelty of PC gaming hasn’t quite worn off...

Engadget Podcast 216 – 10.16.2010

by Jon Cole in Tech480 days ago

With Chris Ziegler on this week’s show, The Engadget Podcast is full to the brim with mobile talk. Nokia’s latest handset, the N8, has been subject to much controversy due to the fanaticism of its fans. Engadget’s review was a joint operation of several editors, most of which agreed that the hardware is generally impressive while the latest version of Symbian OS simply doesn’t live up to modern expectations. The biggest news of the mobile world is clearly the upcoming launch of Windows Phone 7. At their launch event, they...

This is Only a Test – Episode 32 – Lions vs. Cougars – 10/14/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech484 days ago

An American, a Canadian, and an Englishman walk into a podcast to talk about technology. They are Tested’s Will and Matt, and Apple expert Gary Whitta respectively. The first topic is media streamers. Leaping off from the Roku XD|S – essentially a non-Apple Apple TV — they talk about other such boxes and the death of channel surfing. Matt brings the Eye-Fi wireless memory card to the table. It’s a camera accessory that automatically uploads photos to services like Flickr. Will’s round-about solution to video chat...

Engadget Podcast 213 – 09.18.2010

by Jon Cole in Tech509 days ago

The Nokia saga continues this week on the Engadget Podcast, starting things off with news from Nokia World. While the Finnish phonemaker seems to have some well engineered phones at the conference, the company seems to still be in the shadow of Symbian and refuses to move forward quickly with their newest MeeGo operating system. Almost equally boring was HTC’s London event, where they presented the “status quo”-serving Desire Z and Desire HD phones. The mobile-heavy first third of the show wraps up with some information on the...

Mobcast 69: Failed Hardware, PR Gatekeepers, Gaming Dreams, and More

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech521 days ago

Jeff “Podcast Slut” Green’s tour bus parks outside Bitmob Towers this week. Inside, Jeff is hosted by Shoe, Demian, and Aaron for a nostalgic show. They start by reminiscing about the failed hardware they were fans of. It’s an excuse to rue the Dreamcast’s demise, but they also talk about some of the crazy peripherals they’ve been shown, as members of the press. After that, they look at print media. Shoe can’t see a future in it, even though everyone misses the time and care they invested in magazines....
