With Lenovo's recent acquisition of Motorola's handset division and Google's renewed bipartisanship with Samsung, there's certainly a lot to discuss. Along with the regular mobile fare, we treat you to one car chase, more Ashton Kutcher than you'd probably like and a tale of rare, yet spam-inducing social monikers.

Filed under: Podcasts, Mobile Brad and his team of mobile-centric pals sit down for some deep talk about feelings and, of course, smartphones. Sony has launched its Xperia Z1 Compact, which scales down size but not specs, and its compatriot, the Z1S, which takes the standard Z1 into waterproof territory. Not to be outdone, Samsung delivers some new tweaks on the Galaxy series, with its Note Pro and 12.2-inch Tab Pro. It's definitely a fun atmosphere on stage, but this is one party that T-Mobile's John Legere failed to crash -- although his hijinks did get a mention.

Filed under: Podcasts, Mobile Who cares how fast your phone is if it doesn't have PEZ? As far as Myriam is concerned, it can even have EDGE-only data and lack built-in GPS. The burning question, however, is whether Nokia will actually implement this cutting edge sugar-dispensing tech in its Lumia 420. Okay, we're not being totally serious, but that's a bit of conversation that totally, seriously happens during this episode of our podcast. Move your pointer to the player below to hear that and all the banter about this week's mobile news from Myriam and Brad.
