Engadget Podcast 148 - 05.30.2009

We know it's been a long, difficult wait, filled with unspeakable hardships and maybe a bit of Saturday brunch, but the Engadget Podcast is here at last to take away the pain and churn through the insanity of this week's news like a hot knife through imitation butter. It's just Paul and Josh this week, and things should get even crazier next week as E3 descends upon us all, but we promise to get the gang back together real soon to deliver the sort of off-topic rants and delicious non-sequitors you've come to expect from these three beautiful men.

Yeah it was kind of a dick move on Verizon's part to make that announcement. I mean they are not only going to hurt Sprint, but I feel like they are more so going to hurt Palm.

[S4Rs @ Jun 1st 2009 10:04AM]

Although I know Palm didn't want other carriers to say they are gonna carry the Pre because it hurts the Pre's launch, I feel like this may all be Palms fault. They are probably in preliminary talks with Verizon and others already to get this on as many carriers as possible. They should be focusing on the launch right now and building some Pre stock before they try selling it to people they cant provide units for yet.

The rumor is that if I cant get it on saturday, I will have to wait another month before I can get one. Whats that all about?

Why are 4 of the stories about the palm pre, is this site just a little pro palm pre or what? Other tech sites arent mentioning it anywhere near as much. The keyboard on the pre is damn near impossible for anyone over 5 ft tall or normal sized hands to use. Its way too tiny

[Joshua Topolsky @ May 31st 2009 2:51AM]

Have you used it?

[Skrying @ May 31st 2009 3:31AM]

I highly doubt that. The worst phone keyboard I've used as of late was the Samsung Propel and even that was very usable and most people classify my hands as "f**king huge."

More android please!
