Engadget HD Podcast 066 - 01.07.2008
Another short podcast today, recapping the day's press events at CES. We've got Erik and RJ with us in the booth today, and we all roundtable what we saw. The day started slowly at LG, who had not a lot to talk about except business numbers. But Pioneer set things straight and got our HD juices flowing with their new concepts -- one for thinness, another for contrast. Toshiba put a brave face on the state of HD DVD, and like the red team has said before, they've been classified as doomed before only to stay in the race. Panasonic focused on the "Living in HD" theme and steered clear of their huge Lifewall plasma, so we're planning on seeing that beast tomorrow at the Panasonic keynote. What we did get our hands on today was the DMP-BD50 Blu-ray player. We wrap up talking about the LCD house that is Sharp. More stuff tomorrow, so come back, friends!
