Pocketnow Weekly 082: HTC M8, LG G3 rumors, and early termination on principle

Posted on by Michael Fisher

Sometimes it’s not the promise of saving money, nor the allure of a shiny device that drives you from the warm arms of your current wireless carrier – sometimes it’s just a matter of standing up for what you believe in. That’s the case with today’s podcast guest, friend of the show and longtime Verizon Wireless customer Chris Larson, who’s leaving Big Red for the much smaller T-Mobile USA due to Verizon’s stance on net neutrality. On this episode of the Weekly, we’ll talk to Chris and find out just what he’s prepared to sacrifice, and ...

The Pocketnow Weekly is Stitcher’s Best Technology Podcast of 2013!

Posted on by Michael Fisher

“‘New beginnings in print beget new beginnings in podcasts.’ We’re not sure who said that. In fact, we might’ve just made that up right here, on the spot. And that’s the kind of seat-of-the-pants action you’re going to get every week on our new podcast, the Pocketnow Weekly.” That’s the opening graph of the post that kicked off our audio-only podcast back in July of 2012. Today, 81 episodes of “seat-of-the-pants action” later, we’ve been ...

Pocketnow Weekly 078: CES 2014 wrap-up – the best and worst from Vegas

Posted on by Michael Fisher

Horrible sickness. Missed flights. Broken promises from major airlines. Desert air-induced hacking. A too-late arrival followed by a too-early departure. That’s just a partial list of the challenges faced by the four-man three-man Pocketnow team at 2014′s International CES in Vegas, easily one of the most difficult trade shows we’ve ever done. But while the road was rough, the payoff was (mostly) worth it: in exchange for our hardships, we were among the first to spend time with some of the world’s newest and hottest mobile gadgetry, and we did the best we could to ...

Pocketnow Weekly 077: countdown to CES 2014!

Posted on by Michael Fisher

Technology trade shows are often a breeding ground for plague and disease, so here at Pocketnow we opted to inoculate ourselves early … by picking up some crazy wintertime head colds just days before flying to Vegas for the 2014 International CES. That’s right: on the first podcast of the year, all three of your humble hosts are suffering from respiratory distress and an overabundance of mucus, all of it glazed over with enough combined medication to drop a Snapdragon dead in its tracks. Or something. On the ...

Pocketnow Weekly 075: 2K screens, iris scanners, and learning to use a Jolla

Posted on by Michael Fisher

Just what use would an iris scanner be on a smartphone? When will 2K displays take over the smartphone world (and why should we care)? How exactly does one spell “Magotes,” anyway? If these questions have ever crossed your worried minds -and even if they haven’t- the second-to-last episode of the Pocketnow Weekly’s 2013 season is right up your twisted alley, friend. But even if you’re not interested in such tomfoolery, there’s still plenty here to ping your pong. In this episode we talk headline-grabbing rumors like the Galaxy S 5 and wooden Moto X, yes ...

Sometimes there’s so much news you need to call in the Reserves just to handle it all, and that’s just what we’ve done this week. Between Google’s surprise announcement of an unlikely pair of additions to the Google Play Store; Microsoft’s rumored offer to pay Samsung to keep making Windows Phones; and a boatload of reviews, we’re in over our heads this week – so we’ve brought in four team members to do the news justice. Sorry, no listener mail this week – but in its place you get a consolation prize: you get to know what curious fate ...
