Filed under: CES, Features, HDTV, Podcasts This CES: all about the HDTVs. On this CES 2008 episode of the podcast we're talking TV with Engadget HD editor Ben Drawbaugh -- as well as a bit about Lenovo's grand new consumer computing brand plan. We also caught up with our pal Charles over at Virgin America, who talked with us a bit about the airlines nascent plans to get you online during your next flight.

Filed under: Features, Gaming, Podcasts We've wanted a long time to get our old pal Major Nelson on the Engadget podcast, and what better occasion than CES? Ok, maybe E3 -- but there's been no dearth of 360 news at and prior to the show, and no shortage of questions we've been dying to have answered on the air. If you're not down with the Xbox, you'll probably want to wait for a little bit until our next podcast, because in this one we're talking about the recent Live outages, how the console's been doing in the market, the persistence of the integrated HD DVD player rumor, the announcement of the 360's first IPTV rollout, and even waxing nerd about our favorite titles of late.

That's why we're back today with the first in a series of special CES edition podcasts with hosts Ryan Block and Peter Rojas. In today's installment we go over a bunch of the biggest announcements of the past few days, including Warner's HD DVD bombshell; the news that Sony is adding Skype to the PSP, introducing a new mylo, and bringing the Rolly to the States; Alienware's curved ultrawidescreen panoramic gaming display; and Apple's attempt to steal some of that CES thunder with the announcements of a new Mac Pro and Xserve.

Filed under: Announcements, Podcasts Podcast fans, I have some bummer news and some not-so-bummer news for you. I'll cut to the chase (warning: it gets a little personal): after more than a hundred shows and almost three years of podcasting Peter and I have decided to put the show on hiatus. Yeah, I know, it's seriously depressing to us too, but since the death of Pete's dad we just haven't been able to get the show back on track. So instead of dragging it out any further and keeping you all wondering, we figured it's best to be realistic about things. The no-so-bummer news is the Engadget HD podcast lives on, with Ben and his new co-host Steve running the show with our pal Trent producing. So yeah, it wouldn't be infeasible for Pete or myself to guest over there every now and again. And hey, the Engadget Podcast is only on hiatus, there's no reason it might not return later, or during events like CES. To everyone who's stuck by the show thus far, your loyalty and listenership means a LOT to us. It's hard to express just how much we've appreciated the constant flow of support and input you guys have given us. Doing the podcast has always been one of the highlights of our week, and we're looking forward to kickstarting the show again at some point down the road. Until then, you know where to find us! Your pals, Ryan and Pete P.S. -It just didn't seem right to post this without an audio note to the same effect! LISTEN (MP3) LISTEN (AAC) Update: By popular request, you can still download the Engadget Podcast back catalogue. Just enter in the following URL, they've all got the same file format: http://www.engadget.com/podcasts/Engadget_Podcast_NNN.mp3 (i.e. http://www.engadget.com/podcasts/Engadget_Podcast_001.mp3).

Filed under: Features, Podcasts Kind of a slowish week for gdget news, but there's always something to talk about. This week we're taking on the BitTorrent Entertainment Network, Steven Johnson -- Apple rumor-starter (of all people), Sony's big launches, and Verizon's big launch of V CAST Mobile TV. Did we mention it's also our third birthday this weekend? Because it is, and we know you want to pick up some of our prizes. Thanks for three years supporting what we're doing up in this piece, and thanks for listening to Engadget Podcast 102! Get the podcast [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Filed under: Features, Podcasts We're back to our regular newsy podcast for 101, and is there ever news to discuss. Dreams may come true for trepidatious would-be satellite radio customers with XM and Sirius announcing their intentions to merge into one mega broadcaster; in the same vein, Apple and Cisco finally made nice over the iPhone name, which will be used by both companies' products. Canon loosed a slew of interesting new cameras, Samsung hit us with an interesting new kind of monitor that rocks USB over regular video ports, and Helio even popped up with a new device in the FCC. All around a good week for news, and a good week to check out the Engadget podcast, now with over one hundred episodes!

Filed under: Handhelds, Home Entertainment, Media PCs, Podcasts, Portable Audio, Portable Video The days move on, and the gadgets continue to impress. Yesterday we had a chance to stop by iriver's suite, shoot some video, and get really really impressed by their latest PMP offerings. On the other side of Paradise Road, Sandisk rolled out a few PMPs of their own, including one featuring song sharing over WiFi. The Blu-Ray Association says they've already won the format war... despite what rationality might tell one about an eight-month-old gadget in the middle of a bloody market share battle. So what's coming up later today? You've got three hours till any of us truly know, so bide your time with the Engadget podcast.
