People of Earth -- we wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to the first-ever taping of The Engadget Show last night! We couldn't have asked for a better crowd, and Jon Rubinstein was an amazing first guest. We're going to have the full video on the site
this week, but if you can't wait till then, the folks over at
Gear Patrol took some photos and did a writeup, and Weblogs Inc.'s director Brad Hill snapped some great pictures as well -- hit the links below and check it all out.
Note: If you were in the audience and want to know how to get your Touchstone, we'll have all that info in the video post!

You guys are so NYC-centric. If you were in Chicago, I could have had a touchstone. This is such an injustice.
NYC is Rome, s0n.
Did they burn it down as well? Or was that meant in a different way?
Except... I live in Chicago!
Don't think anything can beat Diggnation!
^^ good use of sarcasm.
I agree! I went to their live show here in Tempe, AZ. Fantastic.
I am so psyched. I've only been reading Engadget for about a year and a half but to see it keep progressing like this is amazing.
Not that amazing when you having the backing of a big company like AOL.
Many smaller blogs do not and can not have the resources engadget does with it's big corporate backing.
Can't wait to watch it. Hopefully it turned out good.
Hopefully it turned out *well.
@Mark, Hopefully it turned out *good.
@Templarian, @Mark - It turned out awesome ;)
@Jakob, good to hear. I suppose you were one of the lucky ones that got to see it. :)
Again, the show was awesome. I can't wait until next month's taping.
First ftw. http://twitpic.com/hm480
Actually, that "First" IS win.
Congrats!
First ticket = win
Not being first in the comments and posting twice about it = fail
Nobody cares.
where the hell is this month's taping?
Can't wait to see the show. On the West coast or would have tried to attend.
I think next time, you need to do a Q&A with the audience.
You should have had live video production, and projected it up top, for the audience to see better.
Damnit, I wish I couldve gotten a touchstone for my pre. I got caught up with a mini emergency and couldn't make it to the show :(
Don't let it stop you from getting a touchstone online. store.precentral.net has some good prices on them. It is such a great accessory.
Was Kanye there?
what's a kanye?
Kanye interrupted the show and said Beyonce should have been first guest.
He is something along the lines of an idiot crossed with a jerk. The irony is that all of this information was gleaned from Facebook, and not watching the awards show. (Music award shows. Eh. I'll pass.)
a kanye is a gay fish:

When is the podcast going to be posted? I've been waiting for it all weekend!
Yeah I've been traveling all weekend and wondering where it is
They "lost" the podcast recording. Ironic init?
They should have got a Mac... oh, wait . . .
SOMEONE SYNDICATE THIS
I say please strike a deal with Rev3 and put it there!
COME ON AND STREAM!
What? Sponsored by Nokia? I can't believe Nokia give you guys money after the way that you treat them. Or, maybe, they're trying to sway your opinion? ;)
For a tech blog, you would think they know that the tech news expire after 48 hours and become history ... i want the video now ... not this week.
I wish I could reach out and give you $5.
Seriously, this is old news even 36 hours after the show. I already forgot about it. That's why it needs to be friggin streamed, simulcasted, at least live audio, Jesus H Christ, *something* and not this.
But we can forgive since it's the first one.
For a tech enthusiast, we'd think that you would know it takes a bit of time to get all the editing and post production ironed out on a first run of a live-taped show.
Somehow I doubt Engadget was the production company running the show as well. Whoever handled the equipment probably knew what they were doing. So WTF Engadget give us live something.
Did the first guest in shout "FIRST BTICHES!!!!!"?
Haha no I didn't do that. However, being first was cool in this aspect - http://twitpic.com/hm480 =P
nice, sam, you're like, so cool b/c you've spammed us not once, but twice w/ a pic of your FIRST ticket! :-\
I wish I lived in a big city at times like these.
So anyone who was able to make it (I couldn't damn it) and doesn't have a Palm Pre...i'd love to take that touchstone off your hands.
I'm being kinda serious....let me know if you want to sell it or something.
if a tech show was filmed, and never distributed...did it happen? If it is distributed weeks later..will anyone care? I hope these teaser posts either put out or go away.
still waiting to watch t :C
WHAT I MESS
I loved the show. Good information. The interview was good. Some
people griped about the questions, but I was glad you asked them.
The only thing I don't understand is this idea that with Sprint you
cant get phone calls while on the 3G network. I dont know if its my
area or what, but we get our phone calls while on the internet. I
have a Pre and my wife has a blackberry. We have never had a issue. Surfing the net, internet radio, navigation. or other apps. My phone calls pop up on the
bottom. I know this is off topic, but I dont understand why this
misinformation is still out there. Oh and this is not while on WIFI.
