Pocketnow Weekly 060: "Live" from IFA 2013 in Berlin!

Published: Sept. 8, 2013, 2:08 a.m.

We've been bringing you our best quality mobile-tech podcast once a week for over a year now, and we're not about to break that streak on one of the biggest tech weeks of the year. Sure, we might've missed our usual Wednesday/Thursday time slot, and we might've even technically missed the weekend dividing line, depending on what time zone you're in - but you know what? We've just capped off four days of intense video coverage with a midnight podcast from one of the most echo-filled hotel rooms in all of Berlin, and we're uploading it through the technological equivalent of a 1999-era AOL dialup line. So you're just gonna have to cut us some slack on this one, folks. Fortunately, your sacrifice will not go unrewarded. The 60th episode of our mobile technology podcast covers all the new hotness that dropped at this year's IFA trade show here in Germany, from the stitched-leather Galaxy Note line and its strange wristborne companion, to the artist formerly known as Honami, to the new tablets out of Toshiba, Sony, and LG. We even get into a bit of talk surrounding Acer's new Liquid S2 beast and a Pebble competitor out of Switzerland, before delving into the popular topic of how it feels to cover a major tech show - and how difficult that becomes when you don't have a reliable web connection. Sound like something you could put your ears on? Good - because like a bratwust drowned in semf and served on some fine kasebrot, episode 060 of the Pocketnow Weekly podcast is (finally) ready for your ingestion.
