Technology, it's a wonderful thing. Who would have thought we'd ever see magic cameras that let you play games and send your photos around the world in a heartbeat. Well, that future is here, and in this week's Eurocast, Sharif gives us the low down. Meanwhile James wants a better Photo Sphere, and the Queen of England gets a Nokia 820 courtesy of Jamie.

Nokia's new Lumia 920 gets the Mat treatment, Steve presses Nikon's buttons (in Sharif's absence), and Jamie pours one out for MSN messenger. All the while, Dan wants to help Apple to re-write its apology to Samsung. That's what's coming up this on this week's Eurocast, all woven together with intoxicated karaoke and awkward internet friendships.

If you're wondering what that noise is, it's the sound of the week straining under the weight of all the big technology news. Google delivers new hardware, Microsoft launches not one, but two operating systems -- inspiring Sharif to start a diary -- while 4G goes live in the UK. Except at Mat's house (it's back on now). That's a lot of action in just seven days, but without hurricane Sandy to worry about, the Eurocast could focus on the important business of bringing you these stories over a nice cup of tea and a Halloween-themed fondant fancy. We suggest you get comfortable, too, then head south to listen in.

New week, new set of high profile product releases and service details. As you might have heard, Apple launched a new tablet, Microsoft's Surface and Windows 8 finally see the cold light of day, and Dan wants more data, but isn't sure if he wants to pay so much for it. Also on the agenda is the latest in 3D printing, the financial woes of a mobile giant, and a curious punishment dished out after a patent dispute ruling. Another seven days in the world of the Engadget Eurocast it is then.

For years now, the Engadget podcast has valiantly chewed over the week's technology news for your listening pleasure. But, if you live on the wrong side of the pond, use your fork with the other hand, or just have a keen interest in tech stories from the old world then this one is for you. It is with great pleasure that we introduce the inaugural Engadget Eurocast. In this edition we look at Samsung's subdued Galaxy S III mini launch, Amazon's Paperwhite hitting UK shores, and quickly mull over the Xbox's latest Dashboard update -- among other things. We're not excluding our American / world listeners, of course. If you ever wondered what a podcast might sound like if voiced by Bond villains (and a Canadian), then here's your answer.
