Too much talk and not enough info.
It is a talkshow, afterall. It got enough "ooh! Shiney!" to appeal to the masses.
@IcerC that's a pretty good description of twitter... but how was the show?
Josh is that you?
You didn’t even dress that good for the Engadget show. What’s up man? I nearly did not even notice you in that picture :-)
I thought it was perfect for late night tv! Got the Droid out there and it felt like people were impressed with Google Navigation. I was imaging myself as an iPhone user seeing Droid for the first time and I'd definitely be intrigued.
People watch/go to these shows to be entertained and Josh did and awesome job of mixing humor with the most info casual gadget consumers/enthusiasts would tolerate.
@Thinker They make their guests wear suits on every NBC late night show. If they don't wear a suit to the taping, wardrobe will lend you a suit.
im i the only one that thinks josh looks like a young jeff goldblum?
Jimmy FAILon!
I just wish I could watch these clips on my iPhone.
you know whats coming.
@glenskey
look! a clue

@Kyle C so, did you reply to the wrong post.. or, what..
:)
troll troll troll
I know you are.
man i hate it when engadget deletes trolls comments. then i'm left looking like a douche with my reply comment....
whatever troll... ;)
You'd have to be really annoying to write posts like that.
And I'm not even that thrilled by the Milestone (mostly due to shitty camera).
The Droid really looks like a decent phone. Why are you hating on it?
And no, I'm not a fanboy. I'm getting the HD2.
I see that they're trying to get a bit going and I appreciate both Jimmy and Josh. But, as much as I love sexy tech, this isn't late night material.
It got me to watch the show.
Good segment. Josh said Google wants to bring the navigation to any device that can run Google Maps...... is this true? My HTC 8925 and Touch Pro will now have free turn by turn? Or will Androooooiiiiiiiid be required? Thanks for answering the question I had in my head about the LucasFilms TM LOL.
I'm actually pretty sure Google is even trying to work with Apple to get this on iPhones, so, yes, any device with Google maps, Google wants to try to provide free navigation. I think that means no Google maps on the next iPhone. It's going to hurt Apple revenue if they can't sell $100 navigation apps.
wow did josh really clean up this time?
Yeah, no alcohol or drugs before the show, if that's what you mean.
No? That's not what you mean?
Umm... well, he shaved....?
yeah, shaved his legs perhaps. I don't know how he could get into those pants
lol, dude seriously? His pants are totally fine, relax man.
I dug the pants he wore when interviewing Ballmer, but the internet disagreed.
Posture was god awful though
He looked better with the beard.
It's currently has the best processor of Android phones; it's also the only one as of now to have 2.0 since the older ones haven't been updated yet. Being available on the best network (In terms of coverage) and having a physical keyboard is also a plus.
AWESOME I love your face :)
RIP beard :(
The fact that Josh had the HD2 and instead showed TwitterPeek really hurt -__-
Great segment either way, nice job, Josh!
He probably knew he only had a minute left which would be not nearly enough time to go over a phone such as the HD2 so he went for the twitter peek which got some laughs. The TwitterPeek isnt going to sell because anyone who would use twitter is going to have a phone able to send and receive tweets anyways so no need to carry around another device to duplicate the service.
Why would Google fanboys downrank you because the "truth hurts," you didn't say anything negative about Android 2.0. (What could you attack it for any way? It's multi-tasking, GPS Nav, Widgets, or the ability to choose what apps they want on their phone) You attacked Motorala for having an ugly physical keyboard (An ugly one is better than none by the way).
You know what I don't get, is what makes the iphone so good, if they are just going to update it the following summer.
Huh? All phones get updated every year or so (many more often than that)
Okay, it won't be better than other Android phones running 2.0 with an equal or better processor; they will all be better than the iPhone. It's just the first Android phone available on Verizon and also the first to get Android 2.0.
Really, nothing makes it worthwhile?
I'm not the type to respond to trolls, but to put you in your place:
How about the Cortex A8 processor (making it one of the fastest Android phones available), the gorgeous 3.7" 480×854 display, 5MP camera with flash, an actual physical keyboard, soft-touch plastic and solid build quality. As for looks (which is always based on opinion), I think it looks like a phone that means business (fits the Droid name really well), even though I don't particularly like gold accents either. I would have to see one in person to judge looks. Also the only one with Android 2.0 out of the box. All of the other phones you have to wait indefinitely (no solid release dates for 2.0 on other phones).
And I don't even like Verizon (I'm on AT&T) or Motorola (I like SE more). I wouldn't mind if a similar phone came to AT&T.
Everyone really seemed to like the fact that it had a real keyboard. Including ?uestlove.
Lol, there were audible gasps from the audience. I think I also heard women fainting and being fanned by gentlemen.
@ Snake Robot Podium
That wasn't gasps from the audience, that was At&T 's pride deflating. Or the sound of apple shatting in their pants.
I just have to say that I appreciate Josh's better (on camera) attitude here and on the Ballmer Report… Much Much less douchey than that 1st engadget show with Jon Rubinstein.
Qlorigan.
There I said it. Sue me!
I can't believe Qlorigan hasn't been in every post so far.
I think what you meant to say is Qlorigan(tm).
I have no problem Olympia to Seattle.
Droid is good because its the first android phone on Verizon. Android is a great smartphone OS and Verizon is a good carrier (read carrier with good coverage). And this comes from an iPhone user on AT&T.
Not only do I have no problems in Austin and Houston, ATT's reception is probably the best here.
Pretty much all touchscreen smartphone look the same, and you don't have to use the physical keyboard if you don't like it. I wonder what kind of dumb phone you are using.
People downrank you because your comment is boring, stupid and redundant
No problems in the Bay Area or Sacramento, either. I have to admit, Verizon's "we have a map for that" propaganda showing how 'expansive' their 3G network is is pretty ridiculous. They show coverage in some of the most unpopulated areas in the entire country, while it seems ATT focuses on the most densely populated areas. More red color on a map doesn't necessarily make the network better, it just means that creepy 'can you hear me now' guy follows you to more places, and who wants that? :|
