Engadget Podcast 110 - 01.08.2008

It wouldn't be CES without the Engadget Podcast, right? 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.

Hey you guys are back with the Podcast, awesomeness!

Awesome. Thanks guys

[Phil @ Jan 8th 2008 6:05PM]

no support on the zune side eh...wait i forgot where it was coming from. mr ryan hate zune block.

[BigPana @ Jan 8th 2008 6:18PM]

You can't be that stupid of a fanboy can you? You can't see the post right above yours that says it's not up on iTunes yet?

[Someguy @ Jan 8th 2008 6:32PM]

Er, there's an MP3 RSS feed, right? Or, are you insulted by the very mention of "Pod" (like Apple apparently is: http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/14/no-pod-for-you-apple-keeps-close-tabs-on-brand-name/)?

[flfny @ Jan 8th 2008 7:54PM]

So what if there's a mp3 feed. The point is there's an iTunes link so why can't the Zuneites get their direct link?

On the other hand Engadget might be saying iPod fanboys are too stupid, lazy, and technologicaly retarded to add a feed to iTunes. Yeah I think that's it.

[BigPana @ Jan 8th 2008 9:45PM]

@flfny

If such a silly little thing like that makes you feel better, then sure, go ahead and think that.

[Keith @ Jan 8th 2008 6:12PM]

Hey, great!! You haven't yet added it to the MP3 RSS feed. 15:10 Pacific time... Can't wait to listen...

[cheap @ Jan 8th 2008 6:16PM]

Podcasts were the reason why engadget dominated....- make them happen at least once a month. seriously......

[Alex @ Jan 8th 2008 6:20PM]

Oh Yeah!

[Otsego_Undead @ Jan 8th 2008 6:35PM]

Aww man, its great to hear you guys again! Almost brought a tear to my eye!

[trent @ Jan 8th 2008 6:41PM]

Hiya, we're aware of the iTunes and RSS problems and working on it now. For the time being, please click on the listen links below to get your fix. Thanks!

[Kevin @ Jan 8th 2008 6:57PM]

No can do, sir! I'm an iTunes drone so i'll just wait til that gets fixed :-)

[Tom @ Jan 8th 2008 7:19PM]

Great to have you back, even if it is for just a short while :)

[PSM @ Jan 8th 2008 8:24PM]

I love podcasts! I haven't had any new ones to listen to on my commute for a few days. Can't wait to hear this one tomorrow. I would love to have frequent Engadget podcasts to add to my regular selection.

[Nicholas Braun @ Jan 8th 2008 8:48PM]

Love these podcasts! Let's not wait so long before another, k?

[james churchman @ Jan 9th 2008 7:22AM]

yeah totally!!!

please, even if there rather irregular, every month or whenever enough news comes out to make one, or just the guys have time!! but i need my engadget podcast back!!!

(although, being with macworld 6 days away, im betting there may be a second instalment sooner rather than later!)

[Jonathan @ Jan 9th 2008 1:17AM]

Good to have Peter back! I think we all understand that he's mow realy busy with RCRDLBL but a monthly podcast would be awesome! :D

[AL @ Jan 9th 2008 5:18AM]

Yay! Certainly didn't expect to be hearing you guys again so soon. Any kind of regular podcast would be fantastic :-)
