by Michael Fisher | March 4, 2013 4:09 PMRead OnMobile 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 the cavalcade of content gushing forth from the tech-news spigot, that's okay. We understand. And we've ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 27, 2013 7:53 PMRead OnTechnically, 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 fell flat on their faces. LG really got things started early, ...

by Michael Fisher | February 27, 2013 5:57 PMRead OnWe 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 us with their wares, some of which will be ...

by Jaime Rivera | February 26, 2013 7:00 PMRead OnWatch 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 are making a dent in their ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 26, 2013 11:16 AMRead OnRemember 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 main phone onto the e-ink screen, which will keep its picture even when the phone's ...

by Jaime Rivera | December 13, 2012 7:00 PMRead OnWatch today's Pocketnow Daily as we go through the new rumors of a Galaxy Note device with a 6.3-inch display. Facebook later makes the news with their new upgrade to their Android app to enhance performance. The mysterious YotaPhone with dual-displays is up next as we see it possibly reaching retailers next year. We then talk about Google Maps on the iPhone and we give you a full hands-on video of the new features and enhancements. We end today's show by talking about the harsh news that Google doesn't plan to build Windows Phone 8 applications. All this and more after the break. Stories: ...
