The Signal (IntoMobile Podcast: Episode 12)

Did you miss us last week? We missed you too. Aww.
Not to fret, we’ve got two weeks-worth of news to catch up on. I just couldn’t stop playing with the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Storm after getting it Friday night that the podcast totally slipped my mind. A bigass review is in the works, so stay tuned. In the meanwhile, Episode 12 of The Signal goes over Verizon (NYSE: VZ) unlocking GPS on all their handsets, as well as BlackBerry Storm return rates, Consumer Reports picking BlackJack II as their top smartphone, the new Palm (NSDQ: PALM) software store, Seadragon for the iPhone, and plenty more. As an added bonus, we’ve got Will back! Woo Will!
Check out the Holiday Edition of The Signal after the jump!
