Thanks to our new Blackphone review devices, we're already halfway off the grid ... or at least, halfway buried under Post-It notes littered with passwords, which is almost the same thing. Before we get too stealthy, though, we're hosting us a little show. Some of you might know it as the mobile technology podcast that's gone 108 episodes without missing a single week (accurate). Others might know it as the last remaining mobile-only podcast (citation needed). Still others might know it as the podcast where we advertise horse products (totally false). Whatever your own impression of our little corner of the podcastosphere, we call it the Pocketnow Weekly. And on this episode we're talking Blackphone (shhh), LG G3 (more!), Galaxy S5 Sport (dear God why?), a phone-free smartwatch (ditto), touchscreens with texture (ooh!), and so much more™. If that's the kind of podcast that charges your battery pack, then the Pocketnow Weekly is the show for you! Join us live on the air today at 2pm Eastern (click here for your own local time) for Pocketnow Weekly 108 (or download the high-quality edited version of the show down in the Links section, if you're reading this post after we've already called it quits) and shoot your questions to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air.
