Pocketnow Weekly 071: Lumia 2520, jumbo-phones, and the new iPad mini

Published: Nov. 23, 2013, 1:46 a.m.

Avalanches above, business continues below. That's a lyric from a very weird song, but it also encapsulates the goings-on in the Pocketnow offices this week - with technology news bubbling up from the outside world even as review devices tumble down from above. We'll talk about those devices as well as the rest of the happenings in the mobile technology world, and we'll take questions from your listener mail in the ninety minutes of this week's podcast. (We'll also take every opportunity to distract you from Michael Fisher's awful audio quality with promises of G Flex coverage, coming soon!) So whether you're here for the news of the week or the budding debate on jumbophones, welcome to episode 071 of the Pocketnow Weekly podcast.
