Inbox Zero - Pocketnow Weekly 076

(Full description below) The Pocketnow Weekly is an audio-only mobile tech podcast hosted on YouTube for your convenience. For full MP3 downloads and links to articles discussed on the air, visit us at .

The end of the year in tech is already dominated by lists - best of, worst of, top 5, bottom 50 - you get the picture. So rather than foist another array of numeric bullet points upon you on our last podcast of the year, we've decided to dedicate this show to you, the listener ... and more specifically, to those of you who've written to us. That's right - just like we did back in the summer, for the last show of 2013 we're focusing entirely on listener mail on this, episode 076 of the Pocketnow Weekly.

The backed-up emails in our inbox span the full array of tech topics, ranging from speculation about hot devices like the Galaxy S 5 and the rumored Apple phablet, to questions about jailbreaking iOS 7 and why the modern BlackBerry OS isn't an Android skin. It's all topped off with a marathon barrage of questions about what the behind-the-scenes action is like at the Pocketnow offices, and all of it is fleshed out by even more than the usual truckload of banter among our three regular hosts.

The resulting product is over 2 hours long, so to all of you who've been asking for a longer Pocketnow Weekly: you're welcome! But more importantly, thanks for the excellent listener mail, and for an outstanding year of devoted listenership. You folks are the best.
