The Engadget Show Live! With Avner Ronen, WP7S demo, and more...
Keep your eyes tuned to this post -- because at 5:00 PM ET, we'll be starting The Engadget Show live, with Avner Ronen of Boxee, Aaron Woodman showing off Windows Phone 7 Series, plus much, much, more! You seriously don't want to miss it!
Of course, if you're in NY we'd love to have you attend the show in person at the Times Center. It's absolutely free! We'll start handing out tickets at 2:30PM, open the doors for seating at 4:30PM, and the show itself starts at 5PM. There will also be giveaways from Boxee and Microsoft after the show, but you obviously have to be here to participate! All the info about attending can be found here.
Can't make it? We forgive you, and there's a live video stream that can be found after the break. In the spirit of awesome, we've enabled tweeting directly to the live stream! To be a part of The Engadget Show broadcast, just include the hashtag "#engadgetshow" and watch for your tweet on the ticker at the bottom of the screen. One thing to note, The Engadget Show is a family program, so any single instance of swearing or trolling will force us to turn off the ticker... and it won't come back on. So, keep it clean and have fun!

Can't wait, shame that the ticker will only last 10 seconds though. :-(
@CarliT Guys PLEASE ask him if WM7S is coming to the HD2!!
@CarliT
Well .. I don't care much about the ticker ..I am waiting to see them demo the WP7 phone .. I am waiting to find out definitively if WP7 phones can by default capture video ..is it able to focus during video capture (unlike iPhone) .. and where the captured video files go (do they drop in both "Pictures" and "Music+Video" just one of them. What apps come with it? Stuff like notepad and weather? Can weather and/or custom traffic info and other stuff be on the main screen? Are all the 6.5 apps in WP7? Does the GPS app have nav? Anyway I hope they show the video capture features.
@CarliT
I know, "the moment someone swears or starts trolling" - might as well not bother then! I can't believe the standards will be any higher than in USTREAM chats.
@Hosain
and PLZPLZPLZ ask about a more definite Boxee release date.,and also if the Boxee Box will have a successor with USB3.0 and more powerful processor.
1 more thing, hows the multitasking on Win7 Phone will handel internet browsing (if it will still continue loading a page if u switch out before its done.
Basiclly squeeze as much of the good stuff out as u can about these companies products and well love you guys forever.
@CarliT
am i crazy...or is the engadget show download no where to be found. i miss the live streaming, and would actually like to see this episode. gonna load it up anytime soon guys?
OMG, I can't wait!!!!!! love engadget!!!!
3h left :o
@MoonWalkerCTE now 4:30 wtf?
@MoonWalkerCTE I think it's fixed itself, I live in Seattle, and it says about 2 hours and 45 minutes left. I don't think it will start in the time stated; a little after.
bulk sized popcorn box enough?
I thought we didn't have to wait for ticketing?
If I choose to stay home tonight and watch this, instead of going out, would this make me a geek?
Ah, who cares! I ‘ll open a bottle of Smirnoff North and watch the magic as it happens...
@unreal
Haha same question in my head... I am GTM +2 so it starts at 00.00 for me. I could go out, but would I say at 23.45? 'Guys, I have to go watch the Engadget show. Bye'. They ask: 'Why?'. I say: 'WP7S. Nuff Said'
xD
oh is the ticker already gone? lol
I think I'll wait for the HD download...please put it up quick this time!!!
did it just get pushed back an hour O_o
4 hours still here
I think I'll wait for this on my Engadget app in Boxee. I've gotta tell you, the quality is great and it starts playing instantly. I used to download the podcast in Zune, but I prefer the speed of Boxee.
So that's 22:00 UTC (and 23:00 CET), right?
@putte Correct.
London/Lisbon: 10pm.
Paris/Berlin/Madrid/Rome: 11pm.
Athens/Bucharest/Sofia: 12am (midnight).
waiting on that boxee box, wondering if they actually made it a box u could make space for an internal notebook drive hmmmmmmm
Yay!!!!!
Now you guys get the download up fast.... I only have dialup at home so can't handle the live stream, have to go into town to download it after it's up for download.
I'm also confused. I thought we didn't have to get tickets because of the bad weather?
Got the ticket for The Engadget Show , so exited !! http://twitpic.com/15oqnq
@fevoss
did you have to pay to get in?
I didn't pay for the tickets and they where very friendly : )
so, im here in hawaii. ive been evacuated. and i am ready for the show. i guess you know where my priorities are. haha. my wife isnt very happy.
Cant wait to see that WP7S demo!
one hour to go
*** ASK ABOUT MULTITASKING ***
How will default apps handle multitasking?
Will 3rd party apps be allowed to multitask?
@Johnny Rockets
YAAAA I want to know to......but I think we will have to wait for the MIX conference becuase ballmer said ou have to wait...=(.......but we jet a demo though!!
@Johnny Rockets
Wooooooo my question got asked! (Almost verbatim??)
WOOOOOOOOOOO
@Everyone, You do realize we won't be seeing anything new with WP7S. The MIX event seems to be the place were all our questions will get answered.
Can't wait, I love engadget! They are slowly moving to my main home screen because I use it so much.
CAN'T WAIT!!!!
I'm in line! One Boxee box please ;)
Is there a live chat? Also, anyone else getting video now (that isn't the countdown that is)?
@brokensticks Well back to the countdown...
i saw the video, back at countdown lol, patience man!!
BOOM!!!
@matknny
:/ i havent seen the boom yet
@Oxyrt
I know kind of sucks.
10 more minutes!!! Haha
Hope that extra Saturday sleep helps. It's 3:20 am here in India and I'm still awake for the demo of WP7S. Please don't disappoint me Engadget, and I know you won't.
Hope I last long enough.
@Abhi9 Thank You! Engadget. Great Show. As a follower, I'm more proud of you guys than ever before.
Godammit! It counts down to 0 and they add another 9min!
@MoonWalkerCTE I was was like let down haha
@MoonWalkerCTE Lol I just heard Topolsky speak how he is going to start the show. I figured they would plan this in advance no?
@MoonWalkerCTE "We're doing it Live!!" haha its all impromptu
