There's one fewer Romanian on this week's podcast, and we're no longer hovering over a precarious microphone stand made of empty shoeboxes and trash cans in an Eastern European hotel room - but that doesn't mean this latest episode of the Pocketnow Weekly is lacking in charm. On the contrary, we've called in a silver-tongued devil from Honduras and a smooth-talking geocacher from middle America to provide two very different perspectives on some very high-visibility smartphones.

That's right: it's Apple week. That special time of year where iOS makes its way to the top of our rundown and instigates debates that try friendships, incite rage in commenters, and fill Cupertino's coffers. It's time for Pocketnow's semi-annual iPhone podcast.

But if you don't care about the new iPhone 5s and 5c, fear not: there's a whole treasure trove of Android and Windows Phone news on the other side of the Apple divide, including some LG G2, HTC One Max, and Nokia Lumia 1520 discussion that's sure to get your hardware glands salivating.

If that sounds like the kind of podcast you're into, and you're also a fan of extended bouts of listener mail ranging from carrying-case discussion to speculation on just what the future holds for Microsoft's mobile platform, well, you've found the right place. So pull the pins out of your ejection seat and lock down the canopy: your three-man flight team of Jaime, Adam, and Michael are ready to catapult you into the stratosphere with yet another installment of the Pocketnow Weekly mobile-technology podcast.
