The Android Lollipop release is finally here, and it's the most beautiful thing that's ever happened to Google's mobile platform. We'll talk about that with the assistance of some Nexus 9 review units in our Gadgets in Hand segment, and we'll touch on when you can expect Lollipop to land on your device. Before that, though, it's been a big week if you're in the market for an Apple Watch or a Microsoft cloud solution: you can now start saving the money from the latter to help pay for the former. And speaking of Microsoft – it's been a while since we've countenanced a new Windows Phone around these parts, so today we'll be unboxing the Nokia Lumia 830 live on the air!

If that's the kind of podcast that flips your live tiles, then congratulations! You've found the mobile show you're looking for. Join us for Pocketnow Weekly 121 below –either through the live video stream at 12:00pm Eastern on November 6 (click here for your local time), 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.

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 (alispagnola.com), visit her YouTube page (youtube.com/alispags), and follow her on Twitter (twitter.com/alispagnola)!

Thanks for tuning in. See you next week!
