A final word from Taylor Martin

This article is my 628th piece of content (give or take) for Pocketnow. After somewhere over half a million words written (not including video scripts), it’s also my last.I have been sitting on my bed every night this week, staring at a blinking cursor and trying to figure out where to even begin. No goodbye is easy. I’ve been putting this one off, just like I’ve been avoiding the inevitable for the last three years.Before I get into all that, let me begin by saying ...

What’s in our bag for IFA 2014: Pocketnow Insider

When it comes to trade shows, we at Pocketnow keep it low-key. As we discussed in detail on a recent episode of the Pocketnow Weekly podcast, we don’t have all the resources of a major media corporation, so we’re often called upon to do a lot with a little. That’s been the case with the last few trade shows we attended, and IFA 2014 is no different.What’s in our bag for IFA 2014: Pocketnow Insider appeared first on Pocketnow.

Pocketnow Insider: this is the phone the editors want right now

Here at Pocketnow, we see a lot of phones. Some are terrible, some are “okay”, and others are amazing pieces of technology that excel in every way — except a couple. It seems that even now, do device is perfect. But what is “perfect”, anyway? What do we want in our dream phone?That’s what we asked the Pocketnow Team, but instead of limiting ourselves to which of today’s phones we’d really love to have in our pockets, we asked what tech we want in a phone right now. Is it a curved screen? An even better AMOLED display? Knock to unlock on even ...

What’s on Joe’s Android smartphone: Pocketnow Insider

One question I get asked more than all the others is “what do you have on your phone?” Sure, people wonder what phone I have, who my carrier is, how much I pay for my plan every month, what my favorite accessory is, and a whole slew of other things, but eventually it all comes back to that singular question: what does Joe the Android Guy have on his phone?Over the last month I’ve switched between the Nexus 5, the Asus PadFone X,

Pocketnow Insider: what’s in Taylor Martin’s bag?

I’ve tried being a minimalist … more than once. It just doesn’t jive with my personality. I like to have all my things within reach at any time. I carry two smartphones – one Android and one iOS – for that very reason. I don’t like to be without the things I need; therefore, I need a big bag with lots of organization to keep my daily carry from being a total disaster inside. This year, I’ve instilled a great deal of organization in my life and, thus, my bag. I’ve ...

Taylor’s favorite Pebble watchapps for Android (Video)

Pebble is pretty limited in functionality … by design. The creators don’t want it to become some all-in-one, smartphone replacement, but instead want it to remain a peripheral – a controller and status indicator for the smartphone in your pocket. Pebble is a means of keeping your phone in your pocket more while enjoying the world around you. With the official Pebble 2.0 update, which will ultimately bring Pebble’s own appstore, the ...

Pocketnow Insider: Michael Fisher’s top Windows Phone apps

The Windows Store, a.k.a. Ground Zero. The flash point for millions of arguments raging across the internet, red-faced defenders squaring off against sneering attackers in the Great Platform Debate of the twenty-teens: are there enough Windows Phone apps to make the platform relevant? Fortunately, thanks to the recent arrival of such long-sought and well-known titles as Instagram, Spotify, and Snapchat ...

We just changed our review score for the LG G2. Here’s why.

Know what I love doing at Pocketnow, more than almost anything else? Reviewing mobile devices. You could feed me a steady stream of smartphones and tablets, one every ten days, month after month, and I’d still love it. Yes, it’s exhausting, and sometimes balancing timeliness with thoroughness is an ulcer-inducing tightrope walk, but it’s still my absolute favorite part of being a technology writer. Know what my least-favorite part is? Assigning review scores. We’ve graced this editorial with the

Gadgets galore: what we’re bringing to IFA 2013 in Berlin

Psst. Want some behind-the-scenes info before you read this behind-the-scenes article? If that’s not too meta for you, peep this: we were recently forced to rename an episode of the Pocketnow Weekly podcast, less than an hour after publishing it. The reason? The same reason which drives most action on the internet, of course: “moar clicks.” You see, episode 059 of the Weekly was our IFA teaser episode, the podcast where we sat around and talked about what we expected to see at this year’s ...
