Engadget Podcast: Sonos and the inevitable death of connected gadgets
Also, we dive into the wild Saudi Arabia/Jeff Bezos hack.

This week, Devindra, Cherlynn and Deputy Managing Editor Nathan Ingraham dive into Sonos' plans, and what it says about the future of every connected device. (How's that Pebble treating you?) Also, they discuss how Saudi Arabia allegedly hacked Jeff Bezos's phone via WhatsApp. Yes, it's as crazy as it sounds.
