Peter Rojas and Ryan Block, also known as the guys behind Engadget and Gizmodo, are currently working on a new website at www.gdgt.com. Instead of having a website with a podcast, these guys now have a podcast with a website in progress. The podcast is a weekly gadget show featuring the two talking about the latest news and happenings in the gadget world. Each show is roughly an hour, available in MP3 and AAC as well as dedicated iTunes and Zune Marketplace links.

While a lot of people argue that Engadget and Gizmodo has lost their mojo in the later years, I urge people not to let that affect how you look at this podcast and the new site. These two know what they are talking about and personally I like the gdgt podcast a lot better than the Engadget one which I've featured on here before. It's a great show and well worth a listen.

It's a great show. They both make a great team obviously know a ton about tech. It reminds me about the early days of TWiT.

Yeah, I'm gonna second Peter -- it's always great to be recognized by one's peers. Keep up the good work!

I am enjoying this podcast, and also MobileTechRoundup which you recommended before....I've actually unsubscribed to Engadget since listening to these two. Thanks for the recommendations!

SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Samsung P3

The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.
Microsoft Zune 120

Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune- sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of editor’s choice. The best part of the Zune is the constant firmware and software updates virtually giving you a new device at each major refresh. You can check out the latest Zune 120 & 16 review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest.
Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
Phonak Audéo PFE

Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely.
