Pocket-lint Podcast

The podcast returns for its first outing in 2014 and the Linters have plenty to talk about. With numerous trends and topics coming from the CES trade show in Las Vegas, attention is focused on a few of them that raise differing opinions. PlayStation Now could either change gaming forever, or not. The wearables market is splitting into two, smartwatches and fitness bands, which would you side with? And will curved TVs really take off? Really? Then, of course, there's Michael Bay. Oh yes. Senior editor of news and features Rik Henderson is joined by editor Chris Hall and a debut on the podcast for UK news editor Luke Edwards.

A new podcast is now available and it's as special as special gets. The winners of the 10th annual Pocket-lint Gadget Awards 2013 have been chosen and rewarded in a glitzy London ceremony and all that's left is to explain why we think each of the best products were chosen by the judges and public vote. There are some surprises, some perhaps more obvious. So listen to the new edition to see what we think of the results.

Behold, a new Pocket-lint Podcast is available and have we got a treat for you? Er, yes, we have.

The latest edition of the podcast is here and this week the team wraps its chat flaps around the new curved phones from LG and Samsung. Will people engage with the G Flex? Will the Galaxy Round win out? Or are they just too odd and would better suit the back pocket of Bananaman than the average consumer? In addition, we give a brief hands-on opinion on the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display tablets, and discuss Nokia's swathe of new phones and the tablet device unveiled during Nokia World. Plus, the team talks about BBM for Android and iOS and whether or not the next-generation console hype machine is actually calming down rather than ramping up as their launches approach rapidly.

There may be surprises in store. In addition, we mull over the release date for the Nexus 5, reveal why we think the phablet market is getting a little too large with the HTC One max being the latest behemoth, and much much more.

Hurrah and huzzah. The Pocket-lint Podcast returns with new opening music and a more laid back approach, but with the same amount of tech knowledge and love that we've always put into each episode since it's debut over three years ago. As we've been away for over a month topics up for discussion this week include Apple's iPhone 5S and 5C launch, Samsung's Galaxy Gear and Note 3 launch, the launch of GTA V, and some things that aren't launches. BlackBerry's financial woes for one. Senior editor of news and features Rik Henderson is joined by editor Chris Hall and head of video Ian Morris.

Pocket-lint returns from New York City with tales of the LG G2. Why is it being dubbed the most powerful Android smartphone on the planet? Just how good is that Full HD 5.2-inch screen?

And we also chat about the new 4G services for the UK from Vodafone and O2, plus the goal-line technology that will be changing the face of Premier League football this season.

And so the dust has settled on this year's E3 gaming convention, but the products shown and implications will run all the way to Christmas and beyond. It is ideal timing, therefore, for the three intrepid Pocket-linters who travelled to the show in Los Angeles to give their thoughts on the winners and possible losers in the next generation battle to come. The Xbox One and PS4 come under close scrutiny, as does Nintendo's first-party games line-up. And all the rest of the top games are discussed too, including Titanfall, Destiny, FIFA 14, Gran Turismo 6, Tom Clancy's The Division and more.

E3 is just around the corner now - well, the other side of the planet, but you know what we mean - so it's time to look at the goodies in store for us when we land in Los Angeles. Microsoft will be detailing the games it thinks will get you to choose its Xbox One next-generation console this Christmas. Sony will be revealing the PS4 itself. And Nintendo will be breaking the mould by not having an E3 press conference at all. As well as all that, some of the hottest games are on the agenda, including Batman Arkham Origins, Destiny and Call of Duty Ghosts. And we talk about Oculus Rift and whether we think it will be a showstopper or not.
