When you’re coming down off a few weeks of huge news, there’s a lot to sift through. On this episode of the Pocketnow Weekly, that’s exactly what we’re doing. Join Michael Fisher, Brandon Miniman, and -a first for the podcast- Chief News Editor Stephen Schenck for in-depth discussion on Apple’s continuing iPhone 5 and iOS6 successes and failures, the latest in the annoyingly-named “mapplegate,” HTC’s new One X+ and One VX, speculation on the next Nexus, Nokia’s terrifying new commercial aimed at the iPhone, and even a touch of webOS news. We changed up the order a bit this week, everyone, so be sure and listen to the whole podcast to be sure you don’t miss a thing!
