The Engadget Show live taping - January 16th, 2010



Hello, and welcome back to Gadgets 411! I wish you all a (belated) happy New Year 2010. It was a busy 2009 for me, and I unfortunately let this blog remain a bit dormant throughout the second half of 2009. I went through quite a few gadgets during the year that were not posted here on the site, including the Archos 5 Internet Tablet, the Sony Walkman A728, the Zune HD, the Sony Reader 300, and my current netbook, the Fujitsu Lifebook M2010 (eponymously and appropriately named for this year!) Yesterday, I attended the live taping of the Engadget Show in midtown Manhattan, and unfortunately did not come away with winning one of the two Google Nexus One phones during the giveaway at the end of the show. Congrats to the two lucky winners though - I find myself intrigued by the Android platform (vs. Nokia's S60, Palm OS, etc from my personal experience) and will likely take the Android plunge sometime in the year..or maybe even Maemo with the still relatively new Nokia N900. The guest speaker at the show, Erick Tseng of Google, was witty and enthusiastic about the Android platform (appropriately so) and my takeaway was that the Nexus One is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of new branded handset hardware and software in the coming months from Google. And again, as always, I welcome your comments and suggestions, and thank you for reading!
