Engadget HD Podcast 154 - 09.10.2009
With IFA behind us and CEDIA just starting up, there's plenty of news to cover. Follow along as Ben, Steve and Richard go whirlwind style through what was (non-OEM CableCARDs on MCE) and what wasn't (pretty much any HD-related developments from Apple). We spend a good bit of time talking Blu-ray players and post-sale updates that add functionality, and how that track record factors into value. And speaking of value, that's something that gets a little distorted with new tech -- witness Sony's new edge-lit XBR10 LCDs and Samsung's 15-inch OLED display. We've got a feeling that thrills and spills are ahead of us this week at CEDIA, so we'll try to get another show in sometime after our Georgia Tech hosted meetup but before we leave Atlanta, so stay tuned for more!
