The Signal (IntoMobile Podcast: Episode 16)

It’s been a busy week in mobile news, and we’re rounding it up like stray cattle.
There’s plenty going on this week, with manufacturers putting their finishing touches on Mobile World Congress announcements, especially Toshiba (OTCPK: TOSBF) with their shiny new TG01 – the first phone to use Qualcomm (NSDQ: QCOM)’s powerhouse Snapdragon chip. Garmin and Asus locked in to a partnership for the nüvifone brand, so we’ll likely be seeing more GPSy goodness from them. Finally we talk a bit about the new Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Latitude service and how willing people will be to share their where.
Good to go? Episode 16 of The Signal is right behind the jump!
Music by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, as featured on Tap Tap Revenge for the iPhone.
