The Engadget Show - 005: Google's Erick Tseng, CES wrap-up, WiDi, AR.Drone, and more!

Well it's been a wild couple of weeks here at Engadget. Between CES 2010 (our biggest show ever), the Nexus One launch, forthcoming Apple announcements (and loads of Apple rumors), it's unlikely we'll forget the start of our new decade anytime soon. Still, amidst all the craziness we had time to sit down for another Engadget Show -- and what a show it was. Grab a loved one and a tasty beverage of your choosing and settle in to watch our in-depth interview with Erick Tseng, a wrap-up of all things CES, plus fascinating demos of Intel's new Wireless Display, Parrot's crazy AR.Drone, the Plastic Logic QUE, Alienware's M11X, and so much more. Tune in now -- you'll kick yourself if you miss this.

Nilay Patel's outfit pains me.

[ooellis Posted Jan 19th 2010 11:37PM]

@ooellis Great show otherwise.

I wish they'd show the giveaways in the video so people can see our card-holding iPhone and BlackBerry cases. It also might encourage more people to come in the future.

Wanted to win the Nexus One so we can make a case for that too, but alas. Still a great interview with Erick Tseng. And seeing the AR.Drone live was worth it.

That was a great show Engadget. I enjoyed it and really feel bad that I missed it this time.

BTW Josh, a small suggestion, I had been to one of the shows(Dec 20th) and watched all of them, you interrupt the guest a lot while he is trying to answer you, am not sure you do it wantedly or unknowingly, but it is annoying sometimes.

[Johnny Rockets Posted Jan 20th 2010 1:17AM]

Wow, I really love Eric Tseng. He's very down to earth, friendly, and pretty humorous too.

And I gotta say, I wasn't a fan of Josh because of all his iPhone fanboy stuff in every article/review he writes, but he's actually funny sometimes.

Good interview. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[Johnny Rockets Posted Jan 20th 2010 1:20AM]

Also, I want to point out the HUGE thing here that Eric kept saying, but it bears repeating because it's huge:

Android HAS MULTITOUCH

The HUGE point here: multitouch *MORE* THAN PINCH AND ZOOM

MULTITOUCH =/= Pinch and Zoom, it's just *ONE* instance of it.

This is a very important point Eric brought up.

Josh, in the future, don't say multitouch, but instead refer to the specific features like "pinch and zoom in the browser".

For some weird reason I find myself strangely attracted to the dude from Google....

[gandhisfist Posted Jan 20th 2010 4:13AM]

He said the software keyboard has used multitouch since 1.6, but i don't see it, what gives?

[poindexterc Posted Jan 20th 2010 5:33AM]

Why don't you guys Ustream it?

This guy sounds like I've heard Microsoft people sound. On multi-touch, he's all like "duck, dive, shuck, jive."

I wonder, if Apple starts using Bing, will that release Google to start using freaking multi-touch (or, to be specific enough for this wanker--great-engineer-though-he-may-be-but-nonetheless-wanker--multi-touch user-facing instance commonly known as pinch-to-zoom)?

[everett Posted Jan 20th 2010 10:44PM]

You guys should film the giveaways.

[ecamer34 Posted Jan 21st 2010 8:24PM]

Where can I download that 8-bit soundtrack? Glomag did a sweet job on that one!

Great interview too!

[GeoMeek Posted Jan 22nd 2010 4:30AM]

You are in need of a reporter bad vary bad.

[01001010 Posted Jan 31st 2010 11:25AM]

Why can't I skip into the video? I already watched it all once and now I want to just view the gadget review at the end, but I have to wait for it to buffer there. Lame.
