You know the old saying: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger, sometimes you're the ball. Sometimes you're a radio champ, sometimes you make a 90-minute podcast based entirely on leaks and rumors, only to have the subject of those rumors officially unveiled just hours later. Life's rough.

Well, this week we're looking to correct that bit of poor timing with yet another special edition of the Pocketnow Weekly. But we're not just talking Nexus 5; we'll also trade some thoughts on that other shiny new piece of sweetness to come out recently, Apple's new iPad Air. And joining us to help with that is a friend whose name will be familiar to anyone who's been listening to tech podcasts for a while: Engadget's Senior Mobile Editor, Brad Molen! huzzah.wav!

Finally: yes, we will indeed announce the winner of the great Pocketnow Nexus 5 giveaway in this very episode. Fair warning: while we don't make you listen to the whole show, we do take quite a while before the big reveal. Before ya'll start posting time codes in the comments, here's a hint: it's after the meat of the Nexus 5 coverage, but before Listener Mail. YOU'RE WELCOME. Winner, please email us at the podcast address in the next paragraph!

So, whether you're here for the free phone, for the Brad cameo, for the tech talk, or for some reason you've yet to realize ... come join us for episode 069 of the Pocketnow Weekly podcast.
