Life frequently defies our expectations. For example, if it’s your first full season covering mobile-technology trade shows, sometimes you find your expectations for a nice, quiet lull between CES and MWC completely upset -toppled, really- by reality. For this editor, that reality came fast and fierce, delivering an unbelievable bounty of rumor and speculation at his doorstep on the morning of this week’s Pocketnow Weekly podcast.
The bright side: you get to hear all the latest news and gossip surrounding Galaxy S IV and Note 8.0 speculation; HTC’s Droid DNA upgrade with a very James Bond-ian code name, the M7; possible Windows Phones with “real” PureView optics built in; and Brandon Miniman giving us still more reasons to like LG.
All that, plus a special announcement involving our newest series, Pocketnow Live, after the break! Plus, Tony and I sing a little. A very little. So open a channel, open a refreshing beverage, and open your mind: episode 028 of the Pocketnow Weekly is here. Send feedback, questions, and requests to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Google Plus to stay apprised of the latest episodes. Thanks for listening!
