Pocketnow Weekly 062: iPhone launch day, Xperia Z1, Lumia 1520 & more

Posted on September 20, 2013 by Michael Fisher

It’s iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s launch day, and we can’t think of a better way to commemorate the event than with a Pocketnow Weekly podcast. Actually, yes we can: it would be great to take a look back at Apple’s pre-iPhone days with the spectacular failure that was the Motorola “iTunes phone” of 2005 – fortunately, we already took care of that yesterday. So we’ll discuss the MOTOROKR E1 a little bit on today’s Weekly, before delving in to the ...

Back-mounted volume control is brilliant

Posted on July 1, 2013 by Taylor Martin

While companies continue to produce phones with impressive specifications, the smartphone market has grown somewhat stale in the last two years. Practically every form factor but the basic candy bar has become extinct. And with the exception of a few pieces of brass trim and varying levels of build quality and size, every phone is virtually cut from the same mold. It’s boring, monotonous, and we’re all just about ready for the next big thing – no not the Note III or some other cookie-cutter ...

Pocketnow Weekly 043: The Post-Galaxy S 4 Tech Podcast You’ve Been Waiting For

Posted on May 8, 2013 by admin

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 ...

Didn’t Make It To MWC 2013? Here’s Everything You Missed (Video)

Posted on March 4, 2013 by Michael Fisher

Mobile World Congress 2013 was, as promised, a boatload of fun and a bucket of hot tech-geek action. While we didn’t see everything we wanted to, we were treated to an avalanche of smartphones and tablets running everything from Android to Windows Phone to Sailfish to FirefoxOS. We got a gander at some really impressive form factors too, at sizes ranging from the conventional to the fantastic. If you were off the internet for the duration of last week, or if you simply couldn’t deal with ...

Mobile World Congress 2013 Recap

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

Technically, the Mobile World Congress may finish-up tomorrow, but with all the big smartphone and tablet events over, we’re calling it a wrap. We’ve had a great time the past several days bringing you news of all the new hardware and software companies came to the event to promote, and as we now begin to recuperate and get back to business as usual, we wanted to take a look back on MWC 2013 and everything it brought us. The week leading up to the MWC was filled with rumors, as we should expect, and while some played out, others ...

The Pocketnow Weekly Podcast, Episode 033: The Great MWC Wrap-Up

Posted on February 27, 2013 by Michael Fisher

We think it’s pretty fair to say that MWC 2013 was one part IFA and one part CES: a few stark disappointments peppered among some really amazing stuff. We’ve seen technology this week ranging from the incredible to the absurd – from the third iteration of ASUS’s wild Padfone concept to the improbable debut of a Kyocera Echo lookalike. The big guys have come out to play, too, but they’re a little shy this time around: neither Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8.0 nor Nokia’s midrange Lumias blew the roof off the joint. Even a few has-beens came out to confuse ...

Google Rejects Retail Stores, HTC Tiara Leaks, Samsung Ads Effective & More – Pocketnow Daily

Posted on February 27, 2013 by Jaime Rivera

Watch today’s Pocketnow Daily as we talk about how Google doesn’t seem to like the idea of building their own retail stores. We later talk about the rumored HTC Tiara, which proves that HTC is still committed to building Windows Phones. Then we talk about Nokia and their expansion plans, though instead of bringing more phones, they’re clearly becoming more of a software company. The dual-screen Yotaphone is next, as we show you some hands-on coverage of the device at MWC 2013. We end today’s show talking about how even Apple’s Ad gurus admit that Samsung Ads ...

Dual-Screen Yotaphone: Live Demo (Video)

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

Remember the YotaPhone dual-screen Android with an e-ink display? We’ve been hearing about since summer of last year, got to check out a video of it action back in December, and at the Mobile World Congress this week we finally had the opportunity to see it in the flesh. From one side, the YotaPhone is your pretty run-of-the-mill mid-range Android, with decent specs and a 4.3-inch 720p screen, but the magic happens around back, where you’ll find a 4.3-inch e-ink screen. You can transfer images from the ...
