The Engadget Show returns tomorrow, June 23rd with Jimmy Fallon, Microsoft Kinect, Kudo Tsunoda, and more!

That’s right, Engadgeteers — the tables have turned. Tomorrow, June 23rd, The Engadget Show returns full force with a very special guest: Jimmy Fallon, host of NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (and also a major geek). Jimmy will be sitting down with us for the kind of frank, eye-opening, and downright thrilling one-on-one conversation only The Engadget Show can provide. Not only that, but we’ll have the Microsoft Kinect live and on stage for a hands-on demo with Microsoft’s own Kudo Tsunoda — so you’ll get a chance to see it in action long before it hits shelves this November! And there are lots of other major surprises in-store.

We’ll also have music from the inimitable Glomag, along with some stunning visuals from invaderbacca. Oh, and did we mention the crazy giveaways? Like… a pair of new Xbox 360s? Seriously, you do not want to miss this one — it’s going to be epic.

REMINDER: The Show will be taking place in a lovely new venue, the Rose Auditorium in Cooper Union’s New Academic Building (ie. not the TimesCenter), located in Manhattan at 41 Cooper Square. Seating is extremely limited, so get there early!

Here’s all the info you need:

  • There is no admission fee — tickets are completely free
  • The event is all ages
  • Ticketing will begin at 5PM on Wednesday, doors will open for seating at 7:30PM, and the show begins at 8PM
  • You cannot collect tickets for friends or family — anyone who would like to come must be present to get a ticket
  • Seating capacity is limited (only about 200 seats in the theatre), and once we’re full, we’re full
  • The venue is located at 41 Cooper Square New York, NY 10003 (map after the break)
  • The show length is around an hour

If you’re a member of the media who wishes to attend, please contact us at: engadgetshowmedia [at] engadget [dot] com, and we’ll try to accommodate you. All other non-media questions can be sent to: engadgetshow [at] engadget [dot] com.

The Engadget Show: Inside the gadget markets of China, part two – Shenzhen

You may have already seen the large range of gadgets — both old and new — in Hong Kong, but the small presence of KIRFs there does make things a tad less exciting. Want more? Turns out all you need to do is grab a Chinese visa (or a border pass if you’re a Hong Kong or Macau resident), take a train ride up north and you’ll reach Shenzhen for all the KIRFs you’ve ever wanted. In this second part of our China tour series, we’ll be showing you around the Luohu Commercial City and the Huaqiangbei gadget heaven — don’t worry, there are still many genuine products there for you little angels. Oh, and we also popped into a Meizu store for some hands-on time with the notorious M8. Enjoy.

Host: Richard Lai
Produced and Directed by: Chad Mumm, Richard Lai
Executive Producer: Joshua Fruhlinger
Filmed by: Alfred Yu, Richard Lai
Edited by: Richard Lai
Music by: Pieces of Eight, Sabrepulse
Opening titles by: Julien Nantiec

Greetings humans! The Engadget Show is back in a big way with this latest episode! Josh sits down with the brilliant roboticist Dr. Dennis Hong to chat about his supremely cool yet surprisingly terrifying ‘bots, and then take a look at a few models which the professor brought along with him. Correspondent Rick Karr is back to give us the skinny on why the songwriting industry would like net neutrality to be a little less neutral, and Engadget editor emeritus and GDGT founder Ryan Block joins Josh, Paul, and Ross Miller on the roundtable to delve deep into all things newsworthy in tech. We also got to play with the ATI Eyefinity, one of the craziest gaming rigs you’ll ever see… and then give it away to one lucky audience member! All that, and music from Neil Voss and visuals from NO CARRIER. Okay that’s enough reading… time to watch!

The Engadget Show: Inside the gadget markets of China, part one – Hong Kong

China may have its ups and downs, but there’s no denying that it’s a geeky wonderland for Engadget advocates. Oh, and we’re not just talking about KIRFs either — this country of 1.3 billion people has a lot more tech love to offer. In this first episode of a two-part series, we’ll be showing you around the two hottest gadget districts of Hong Kong — Mong Kok and Sham Shui Po. By the end of this you’ll probably be sick of cramped street markets and computer shopping malls, but hey, just be thankful that you weren’t the one who went through all that trouble and jet lag.
