HTC’s roadmap leaks, Pocket-Lint award winners, and Nokia closes its London flagship
This week, we talk with the guys from London about HTC's phones slated to hit next year, plus Pocket-Lint's awards, and Nokia looks to be closing its Regent street flagship store... is it a sign of the economy, Nokia's health, or both? We ask Dan Sung and Duncan Geere from the site.
Awards season, mini phones and Pirate Bay drama
This week, our ol' chaps from over the pond (that is what they're called, right?) check in to speak of the unspeakable drama going on at The Pirate Bay. Not unspeakable because it's dramatic, scary or obscene, but it's just unspeakable because... well... explaining the situation gives us a bit of a headache. We'll let Duncan expound on how pirate visitors to The Pirate Bay actually might have a better shot at getting away with it.
Also, Dan chimes in on a notable trend, specifically the trend toward creating a "mini phone." In essence, the netbook / laptop relationship has extended to the mobile space, where less expensive smartphone handsets are starting to roll out in tandem with their bigger brethren. Phones like the Pixi and the Palm Pre, among others. What's with the fad, and is it worth buying into?
Lastly, it's award season over at Pocket-Lint, and besides the requisite champagne dreams after winning a Pocket-Lint-ie (that's not what they're called), the guys explain some of their favs including a piece of software getting some U.K. buzz that soon could be coming stateside.
Also, give us feedback if you've got it. pocketlintshow@techvi.com. We'd love to hear what you think of the show.
