Pocketnow Weekly Podcast

Happy iPhone season! Well, maybe it is, maybe it isn't -- if JV has any say about it, the new iPhone 14 lineup is fine from most standpoints, but a whole new paradigm is starting with the introduction of fully eSIM units in the US. JV and Nick debate the pros and cons of this change before getting into the general announcements, followed by a pretty quick synopsis of IFA, which Nic

And we're back! Thank you so much for your patience as I, JV, get back in the saddle to host the Pocketnow Weekly Podcast. I never closed the door on hosting this long running show, but I did find that I had to take care of my own stuff, personal and professional, as I juggled so many different projects at any given time. I want to give thanks to the Pocketnow team for always being

Google I/O has come and gone, but there were so many great announcements made that JV and Nick Gray have to make a chunky episode talking about everything that they were excited about. Google wasn't the only one that had a great week though -- Sony with their Xperia 1 IV and the WH1000xM5 headphones made quite the splash too, and the two talk through them before the I/O craziness.

Google I/O is on the horizon, and there are a few hardware announcements that JV and Nick are really excited for: the Pixel 6a, Pixel Watch, and Pixel Buds Pro.

JV and Nick talk about the announcement that actually shared... Nothing. The enigmatic Carl Pei brought very few details about the smartphone that will be developed and released by his much hyped company, Nothing. The two speculate about the upcoming smartphone and JV praises the Nothing ear(1) as a good faith look into what might be in store. Before that, a live unboxing on the po

We're back! Not that we were trying to be totally gone -- JV and Nick Gray of Phandroid return to talk about the week's mobile tech news which include the recent Apple event! Do you really need an M1 Ultra in a Mac Studio? No, but you really want one, don't you? Also, Nick is fresh off the first international trip most of us have had in a long time, as he recounts the announcements

JV and Nick Gray are back from CES 2022 -- well, they've been back for a while, but are just now getting to recount their experience at one of the most unique shows ever.
