Sony D6503 Sirius stars in early hands-on video

There’s one fewer Romanian on this week’s podcast, and we’re no longer hovering over a precarious microphone stand made of empty shoeboxes and trash cans in a European hotel room – but that doesn’t mean this latest episode of the Pocketnow Weekly is lacking in charm. On the contrary, we’ve called in a silver-tongued devil from Honduras and a smooth-talking geocacher from middle America to provide two very different perspectives on some very high-visibility smartphones. That’s right: it’s Apple week. That special time of year where iOS makes ...

According to a recent Adduplex blog post, there are a couple of new devices that have accessed its Windows ad network. Among them, two Microsoft names have popped up: first is the  Microsoft Corporation Surface 2, which could very well be the follow-up to the Microsoft Surface RT.
