Watch the Engadget Mobile Podcast CES edition, live tonight at 11PM ET!
Nope, it's not a typo, folks: for tonight's CES 2012 podcast we're getting in front of a camera to discuss all of the latest happenings in Las Vegas. And there's a lot to talk about, too, so you won't want to miss seeing us rant live for a change! So join Myriam Joire, Sean Cooper (yes, the Sean Cooper) and Brad Molen as we show off some of the phones announced this week and converse on everything we've seen so far.

The Engadget Mobile Podcast, live at 5PM ET with special guest Nicole Scott!
We stuffed ourselves with turkey and yams last week, so naturally the long post-holiday break has left us trying to digest a whole mess of wireless news. This is a podcast you won't want to miss, because we'll have Netbook News' very own Nicole Scott sharing the mic with us to break it all down and make sense of it all. We'll miss you if you can't make it, but thanks to Carrier IQ we'll know exactly what you're doing instead be able to help enhance your network performance. Too soon? Join us at 5PM ET!

Engadget Mobile Podcast late nite special: live tonight at 11:30PM ET!
So here's the deal: our editorial duties are being stretched to the max tomorrow and we're unable to do a live podcast during the weekend, so we're hereby calling an emergency late night edition of the Engadget Mobile podcast, live at the bewitching hour of 11:30PM ET (8:30PM PT and 3:30AM GMT). The good news is that you'll still be treated to your weekly dosage of rants, opinion, and all-around goofiness. The better news is that if you usually listen to our recordings, you'll get it even sooner! So join Myriam, Brad and special guest Joseph Volpe in a fireside chat as we help keep you awake tonight. Update: And we're done! Thanks to everyone who joined us tonight, and we'll have the podcast up as soon as we can.
The Engadget Mobile Podcast, live at 5PM ET!
We're not going to let a Burning Man get in the way of our weekly podcast, are we? That's a negatory, as the Engadget Mobile Podcast lives on in Myriam Joire's absence. Co-host Brad Molen is still behind the mic offering his soothing sounds, and in to help him hit the weekly rant quota are special guests Zachary Lutz and Dante Cesa. Join us, won't you, for another round of mobile goodness? Be here at 5PM ET (2PM PT, 9PM GMT) for Episode 102.
The 100th Engadget Mobile Podcast, live at 5PM ET!
The Engadget Mobile Podcast started in December 2008 with a couple guys and a dream; a desire to bring you the week's best (and worst) mobile haps to keep you up to speed. 976 days and 100 podcasts later, that dream is still being made into reality week after week -- and today's special edition is yet another way to prove that. And there's no better way to show our gratitude for all of your support than to keep doing what we know best: deliver the latest and greatest in mobile. The difference this time is that hosts Myriam Joire and Brad Molen are literally doubling their vocal cords by inviting on Noah Kravitz (of TechnoBuffalo and PhoneDog fame) and our very own Richard Lai. Sounds like a good time, right? Be there at 5PM ET (that's 2PM PT / 9PM GMT) to join in on the celebration!
The Engadget Mobile Podcast, live at 5:30PM ET!
We interrupt the end of this crazy workweek for a special podcast. Y'know, one of those 90 minute (or longer, in recent weeks) audio recordings where two or more people get together around a mic and chat about mobile topics. The difference this week? We may or may not have a special guest. You definitely don't want to miss it. Join us for the 99th edition of the Engadget Mobile Podcast, live at 5:30PM ET (2:30PM PT / 9:30PM GMT)!

Are your ears ready for our most Sensational podcast yet? HTC dropped a dual-core bomb on central London this week with its super-specced new Android smartphone, but somehow that managed to be only the second awesome announcement of the day, after Nokia reached into its bag of tricks and whipped out the new E6 Symbian handset with the sickly pixel density of 326ppi. It'll be accompanied to market by the entertainment-savvy X7, with both phones shipping with the latest Symbian Anna OS installed. Should you be interested in Nokia's more distant future, we also dropped by Microsoft's MIX 11 developer conference this week, where Windows Phone 7's Next iteration made us positively giddy with excitement. Like we say, it's gonna be sensational. Tune in to this post to hear it all live!

3D HTCs, dual-core LGs, 8.9-inch Samsungs, and a sun-soaking display: needless to say, it's been a fun CTIA Wireless as usual, and that's not even including all the AT&T / T-Mobile madness from last weekend!

A little phone (okay, not so little) called the Thunderbolt just got reviewed by yours truly, so it stands to reason that we might want to talk about it a little bit. What else is on the docket? Well, you'll just have to tune in and find out, now, won't you? It's all after the break!

We're podcasting a little early today so that we can stay out of the way of your inevitable trip to the Apple Store this afternoon, either to wait in line for an iPad 2 or to point and laugh at those who are. Either way, we love and support you -- but we'd love and support you even more if you'd join us after the break. Do it!

Ahh, Barthelona. It's not 100% Spain, but it is 100% awesome. And, this time of year, it's full of people like us trying to wrap our brains around a never-ending barrage of new fliphones and pagers.

The Engadget Mobile Podcast, live... right now!
So we're all out in Barcelona for MWC this week, which... you know, would explain the odd time of the podcast, wouldn't it? The show floor opens tomorrow, but a number of press events have already gone down -- Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, specifically -- so as you can imagine, we have quite a bit to discuss. Follow the break for the unedited madness.
Engadget Mobile turns 5 today -- help us celebrate with a Motorola Aura giveaway!
On this fateful day in 2006, Engadget Mobile was born -- and the world has never been the same. Of course, we never would've made it this far without you, our dear readers, so we wanted to give something back... and we think you'll like what we've come up with. The Motorola Aura is one of the most unique handsets ever to come out of Schaumburg, featuring a circular display covered with a 62-carat sapphire crystal along with a rear window that lets you marvel at the action of the watch movement-like swivel mechanism. At its launch in late 2008, it retailed for some $2,000 in limited quantities -- and it remains a collector's item today. It won't out-game your iPhone or out-email your BlackBerry, of course... but as an evening or weekend phone, there's probably not a better conversation piece out there. Want it? Read the rules and regs below! Thanks to Motorola for providing us with the Aura! The rules: Leave a comment below. Any comment will do. You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.) If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine. Contest is open to all residents of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Canada (excluding Quebec), 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad. Winners will be chosen randomly. One winner will receive one Motorola Aura. If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen. Entries can be submitted until Sunday, February 20, 2010, at 11:59PM ET. Good luck! Full rules can be found here.
