Engadget Podcast 250 – 07.29.2011

Yes yes, y’all: it’s the Engadget Podcast. We’re brimming this week, as usual, with the low down on what’s going down with all the new stuff. We’ve got the killer combo of lots of streaming news and a dearth of optical drives. We’ve got shaky earnings calls translating into big deals on the floor at Best Buy. And boy, do we have a little bit of Android news? We do! It’s all here, as usual. Enjoy.
