Pocketnow Weekly 046: Tablet Z vs TouchPad Go; Galaxy S 4 Mini; iOS 7; Nokia Amber

Published: May 30, 2013, 3:35 p.m.

We had an interesting bit of synchronicity crop up in the offices of Pocketnow this week: we're simultaneously in possession of one of the thinnest, newest tablets in the world - and one of the clunkiest, oldest ones. The interesting part about the latter: it never officially existed. We'll talk about that, plus rumors of yet another mini-Galaxy that ain't bashful about skimping on specs, and a Motorola smartphone that's all-American from design to manufacture. We'll also cover rumors of a newer, flatter iOS 7 as well as updates to its Microsoft-sourced competitor, and we'll even get into a brief discussion about NASCAR and its shared history with mobile communications. All that, plus Taylor Martin digging himself into an ever-deeper hole of Windows Phone-fan disdain, after the break. We've broken out the fine china and good silver and put the dust cover on the couch; the Pocketnow Weekly podcast is ready for its first guest.
