Podcast fans,
I have some bummer news and some not-so-bummer news for you. I’ll cut to the chase (warning: it gets a little personal): after more than a hundred shows and almost three years of podcasting Peter and I have decided to put the show on hiatus. Yeah, I know, it’s seriously depressing to us too, but since the death of Pete’s dad we just haven’t been able to get the show back on track. So instead of dragging it out any further and keeping you all wondering, we figured it’s best to be realistic about things.
The no-so-bummer news is the Engadget HD podcast lives on, with Ben and his new co-host Steve running the show with our pal Trent producing. So yeah, it wouldn’t be infeasible for Pete or myself to guest over there every now and again. And hey, the Engadget Podcast is only on hiatus, there’s no reason it might not return later, or during events like CES.
To everyone who’s stuck by the show thus far, your loyalty and listenership means a LOT to us. It’s hard to express just how much we’ve appreciated the constant flow of support and input you guys have given us. Doing the podcast has always been one of the highlights of our week, and we’re looking forward to kickstarting the show again at some point down the road. Until then, you know where to find us!
Your pals,
Ryan and Pete
P.S. -It just didn’t seem right to post this without an audio note to the same effect!

Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets, Podcasts
You know, sometimes you want a preamp, but not too much preamp. Well, CEntrance has got you all-kinds of covered on that tip with its new, self-contained, microphone-attaching, USB-based MicPort Pro. The premise of the device is simple: it turns any single microphone or instrument into a self-powered, single channel, 24-bit / 96KHz audio interface — all you have to do is hook it up to your computer with the supplied USB cable. The MicPort also features a headphone out, if you want to create the wackiest closed-loop situation ever, though it looks like the company is intending this for podcasters and the like, given that it allows any and all XLR-based mics to be plugged directly into your USB port. Shipping now (or so the company says) for $149.95.

Ok, so we finally heard back from Zune PR, and they were about as cagey as we always expect when it comes to statements about future moves in the market. Anyway, here’s what they said about Sunday’s meme that the player wouldn’t be launching in Europe this year: in a nutshell, Ballmer was mistranslated, and did not say either way whether Zune is launching in Europe in 2007. “He emphasized — as we’ve been saying all along — that focus is important to us and the US has been our focus to date. He also reminded those readers that Zune is an investment for the company… a multi-year strategy… but we are currently not making any announcements about future launches.” Ok, so it might have just been easier for Zune to come out and say it is (or isn’t) in fact still launching in Europe this year, and you can still chalk up the above to a non-denial denial if you like. But it still seems plausible this year may yet hold good news for our cross-Atlantic pals anticipating a Microsoft player of their very own, so don’t give up just yet.
