Engadget HD Podcast 105 - 10.08.2008
Somehow we continue to find things to talk up despite the fact that this time of year is traditionally slow for tech news. We do find it a relief that Panasonic finally solved it's identity crisis, and that it might get back into the Audio AVR market. Meanwhile, Ben finds something to complain about FiOS monumental HD rollout -- yeah seriously. Iron Man breaks the Blu-ray sales record so we decide to speculate on which title will replace it as the number one selling title ever using IMDB logic. Finally we talk up some hardware as the Apple TV gets an update, XStreamHD is less than three months away from officially becoming vaporware, and finally Steve complains because he isn't one of the lucky ones able to obtain a Tuning Adapter, despite the fact that he actually needs one.
