We hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for more!

Yamaha Tenori-on: everything you wanted to know (with video)

by Trent Wolbe, posted Jul 7th 2008 at 11:44AMFeatured Story


From the mind that brought you ElectroPlankton comes the Tenori-on (finally!): an 8 x 8-inch magnesium square brimming with 256 tiny, pressable, blinking LEDs and even gestural controls that make it easy to sequence electronic music on the fly. It's a spectacular tool for creating loops and making those sitting next to you on the train jealous. But will it keep serious musicians busy long enough to make it worth the $1200 Yamaha wants for it? Read on for a full report of our week-long visit with the little alien box.

Engadget Podcast 111 (the Xbox 360 episode) - 01.09.2008

by Trent Wolbe, posted Jan 9th 2008 at 1:34PMFeatured Story



We've wanted a long time to get our old pal Major Nelson on the Engadget podcast, and what better occasion than CES? Ok, maybe E3 -- but there's been no dearth of 360 news at and prior to the show, and no shortage of questions we've been dying to have answered on the air. If you're not down with the Xbox, you'll probably want to wait for a little bit until our next podcast, because in this one we're talking about the recent Live outages, how the console's been doing in the market, the persistence of the integrated HD DVD player rumor, the announcement of the 360's first IPTV rollout, and even waxing nerd about our favorite titles of late.

Sure, the Xbox 360 Elite was finally announced, but we've got a fair bit of interesting cellphone news this week, too. Check out Samsung's UpStage, finally launched; or the long-awaited Helio Ocean dual-slider QWERTY featurephone -- not bad eh? And then HTC had a whole slew of gear, too, from their first UMPC to the Advantage's US launch. We won't only be talking about cellphones this week, but if you're not down with mobile gadgets then you might want to snag our enhanced RSS and skip some chapters, because we've got some CTIA stuff to catch up on.

Lots of new gadgets these past couple of weeks, between PMA and CeBIT, but we're here to try and make some sense of it for you.

We're back to our regular newsy podcast for 101, and is there ever news to discuss. Dreams may come true for trepidatious would-be satellite radio customers with XM and Sirius announcing their intentions to merge into one mega broadcaster; in the same vein, Apple and Cisco finally made nice over the iPhone name, which will be used by both companies' products. Canon loosed a slew of interesting new cameras, Samsung hit us with an interesting new kind of monitor that rocks USB over regular video ports, and Helio even popped up with a new device in the FCC. All around a good week for news, and a good week to check out the Engadget podcast, now with over one hundred episodes!
