Engadget Podcast 169 – 10.31.2009

Tired of all the DROID talk? Well, tough cookies, mister. Nilay, Paul and Josh have a lot to say on the subject, and you’re just going to have to sit there and take it. Or you could skip the first 40 minutes of this week’s podcast, but that’s just a recipe for regret. If you do stick it out you’ll be treated to some unusually candid discussion of Josh’s facial hair and other more pertinent questions picked from the USTREAM discussion that will almost certainly frighten you straight.

WARNING: This podcast has been known to kill people. Engadget assumes no responsibility for injury or death.

A note about last week’s Engadget Podcast

A lot of our faithful listeners have inquired as to the status of last week’s podcast. We regret to inform everyone that we lost the audio just after we were done recording. To be more exact, the Mac Pro at AOL’s studio which was recording our rare (and magical) in-person podcast decided to upchuck the boogie and destroy our precious tracks. What that means is we will be skipping that show (it is already the following week) — though in the next few days we’ll bring you the first-ever Engadget Show as well as a proper podcast. Sorry everyone, and thanks for understanding!

The Engadget Podcast will be live… tomorrow

Hey everyone, just a quick note to say that the podcast will be slightly delayed this week — not only are we swamped with news, but Nilay’s traveling to NYC for The Engadget Show. Fear not, though — we’ll be live tomorrow at 4PM EST, and the regular podcast will go up on Saturday. See you then!
