“Ah, so that’s the way a phone should work.” That’s just one line from a series of company-crafted snippets on Motorola’s official website for the new Moto X, and it’s a great encapsulation of the company’s intent behind the new flagship smartphone. But the Moto X isn’t just another ...

We’re on the eve of the launch of a most significant (if not spec-packed) smartphone, the Moto X. We’re hot on the heels of the industry’s latest benchmark-juicing scandal with Samsung’s Galaxy S 4 tweaking. We’re only a week away from seeing what LG has to offer with its G2 (though we already know what accessories it’s launching with). And we’re not even a week out from the launch of the Nokia Lumia 1020, but we’re already in full-on fretting mode about our favorite Finns. That roster would be enough to fuel two podcast episodes this size, ...
The post Pocketnow Weekly 055: Moto X hopes, LG G2 dreams, Lumia 1020 fears appeared first on Pocketnow.
It’s not every day you schedule a podcast the day before one of the biggest Windows Phone announcements in the platform’s history – but given our plans to host a special-edition Pocketnow Live event covering Nokia’s NYC event tomorrow, we thought it best to get the Weekly out of the way ahead of time. That doesn’t mean we don’t talk Nokia – indeed, we’ve got Chief News Editor Stephen Schenck on the air with us this week to discuss what it’s been like to follow the story of the EOS/1020/909, probably one of the most widely-leaked devices ...

It’s weird when holidays fall in the middle of the week, because either you’re kicking off a long weekend with the special celebration, or you’re returning to work the next day with a fuzzy brain, a sunburn, and sand in your hair. We’re in the latter situation this week at Pocketnow, the American portion of the team coming down from a day of BBQ and a night of fireworks … but in our case, it’s a good thing. Because today’s the day for our weekly mobile tech podcast, and we love us some mobile-tech podcasting. We hope you do, too, because ...

The mysterious Motorola Moto X is coming this summer but some reports talk about August 1, others try to find different dates. It’s coming, nonetheless. If this recent report turns out to be true, the phone pictured above might be the Moto X. Until then, it’s just the Motorola XT1056. The source of the image believes this is the Moto X though, and the phone pictured, X or not, is being tested on Sprint’s 4G ...

At Pocketnow, we have a responsibility to try the new, the fresh, and the weird – and that latter swamp is exactly the one Managing Editor Anton D. Nagy waded into with his recent review of the ASUS Fonepad – the tablet with an earpiece. Or the phone with a tablet screen. Whatever you want to call it, we’ve covered it – and Tony has some thoughts about using a seven-inch smartphone in this edition of one of your favorite tech podcasts. After we clear the giant-phone convo, we’ve ...

We didn’t expect to run the Weekly with a skeleton crew two weeks in a row – and it’s a good thing we didn’t have to. Mere minutes into this week’s Tony-and-Michael-only podcast, Taylor Martin arrives to save us from the spectre of a fun, but low-energy, two-man show. In its place: jokes, laughs, and a lot of industry insight you’re gonna wanna put your ears on. We talk phone batteries that can jump-start your car, what place Twitter has in music, whether we should be excited about Motorola’s X phone or Nokia’s aluminum Catwalk, and the ...
