An interview with Samsung about New Computing and the Galaxy Tab S7 FE (Hassan Anjum)

Happy iPhone season! Well, maybe it is, maybe it isn't -- if JV has any say about it, the new iPhone 14 lineup is fine from most standpoints, but a whole new paradigm is starting with the introduction of fully eSIM units in the US. JV and Nick debate the pros and cons of this change before getting into the general announcements, followed by a pretty quick synopsis of IFA, which Nick did actually attend.   Follow our guests!

And we're back! Thank you so much for your patience as I, JV, get back in the saddle to host the Pocketnow Weekly Podcast. I never closed the door on hosting this long running show, but I did find that I had to take care of my own stuff, personal and professional, as I juggled so many different projects at any given time. I want to give thanks to the Pocketnow team for always being understanding and patient with me, not to mention them giving me the space to do everything I do in whatever manner that keeps me healthy in body and spirit. That being said, I had a great opportunity to bring back the podcast because some of our friends were together with me on a wonderful trip -- the Sony Kando Trip. Made primarily as a way for photographer and Sony Alpha camera enthusiasts and influencers to get together, the small core group of tech friends were also in attendance and I got two of them -- Thunder E of Booredatwork and David Cogen, TheUnlockr -- to join me as we talked about the entire lovely week and the Sony Xperia 5 IV. Look forward to future episodes and I'll do my best to bring them out on a consistent basis -- but do bear with me as I get my feet wet again as the host of the Pocketnow Weekly Podcast!   Follow our guests!

Google I/O has come and gone, but there were so many great announcements made that JV and Nick Gray have to make a chunky episode talking about everything that they were excited about. Google wasn't the only one that had a great week though -- Sony with their Xperia 1 IV and the WH1000xM5 headphones made quite the splash too, and the two talk through them before the I/O craziness.   Follow our guests!

Google I/O is on the horizon, and there are a few hardware announcements that JV and Nick are really excited for: the Pixel 6a, Pixel Watch, and Pixel Buds Pro. Of course, that doesn't mean we're really going to be seeing them in a few days, but it's still fun to speculate! Before that though, JV wanted to just put forth a bit of appreciation for pieces of tech that have gotten smaller, more powerful, and more efficient. Also, Amazon Fresh.   Follow our guests!

JV and Nick Gray get through a few main stories from this past week, including the release of a couple of software betas: the Nothing Launcher and Android 13 ahead of Google I/O! After that, JV wonders why we even need the Snap Pixy selfie drone, even if he admits that he will get one to try out regardless.   Follow our guests!

Nick is back on the show -- well, you might have expected that, but he was actually down with COVID over the last week. Nick Gray of Phandroid recounts his experience of being locked up with all of his tech while JV expresses all the gratitude he can that everyone is okay. After that, the two talk through the OnePlus 10 Pro and why it's so hard to wrap their heads around.   Follow our guests!

JV and Nick talk about the announcement that actually shared... Nothing. The enigmatic Carl Pei brought very few details about the smartphone that will be developed and released by his much hyped company, Nothing. The two speculate about the upcoming smartphone and JV praises the Nothing ear(1) as a good faith look into what might be in store. Before that, a live unboxing on the podcast of the newly available Moto edge+ and some last thoughts on the iPhone SE and the iPad Air with the M1 chip.   Follow our guests!

We're back! Not that we were trying to be totally gone -- JV and Nick Gray of Phandroid return to talk about the week's mobile tech news which include the recent Apple event! Do you really need an M1 Ultra in a Mac Studio? No, but you really want one, don't you? Also, Nick is fresh off the first international trip most of us have had in a long time, as he recounts the announcements and experiences from MWC 2022.   Follow our guests!

JV and Nick Gray are back from CES 2022 -- well, they've been back for a while, but are just now getting to recount their experience at one of the most unique shows ever. From Samsung announcements including the Galaxy S21 FE to wireless Android Auto courtesy of Motorola, the two run down a lot of what they enjoyed at the show.   Follow our guests!

On this episode, Jaime Rivera sat down with the folks from John Deere, who had a notable presence at CES 2022 -- JV and Jaime both got a great look at the tech that power their autonomous combines and tractors. With autonomous driving all the rage both on and off the roads, Jaime learns what makes John Deere's technology so effective -- and where it might lead us.
