Everybody wants the new hotness, but no one wants to wait for it. That's evident from the deluge of leaks surrounding the world's most-talked-about mobile devices, and we're going to stick our straws in for a quick sip –just to whet our whistles– on today's podcast.

Looking for more than just product talk? As a famous retailer used to say, "Yeah, we've got that." The FCC puts forth its hardest-hitting proposal ever for enforcing net neutrality, Microsoft kills Windows RT, I take a walk on the magenta side with T-Mobile ... and RadioShack goes to meet its maker in the great tech Sto-vo-kor in the sky.

All of the above, plus a new edition of Tough Spot and your usual bounty of listener mail lies ahead; join us, won't you? Pocketnow Weekly 134 is waiting for your participation –either through the live video stream at 12:30pm Eastern on February 6 , or the high-quality audio version available later on– and shoot your questions to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air. See you then!

Tough Spot

(01:05:22)

A segment about hard choices and tough decisions, made in imaginary-land on the heels of a hypothetical. ‎Today's Tough Spot comes to us from reader Greg Vogt:

If you had to purchase a phone and use it for the length of a 2 year contract and your only choices were a cheaply made smartphone running your preferred OS, or ideal hardware for you (screen size, battery life, camera, build quality/materials) but running on your least favorite OS, which one would you choose? Also what would your favorite OS and least favorite OS be?

Music

It may just sound like a ringtone to you, but our transition music track ("Radiation") is a real song, from a real album, by a real artist: Ali Spagnola. You can download that album, along with many others, at Ali's website here: alispagnola.com, visit her YouTube page here: youtube.com/alispags, and follow her on Twitter here: twitter.com/alispagnola!

Thanks for listening! See you next week!
