Podcast: Apple’s got iPads and Nokia’s flonking phablets

We’re not sure if you’ve heard but Apple’s just launched some new tablets for us all to enjoy. We’re not too sure if we’re keen on the iPad Air name, but it’s thinner and looks more like the iPad Mini — which coincidentally also got an update. The iPad Mini now comes with a retina display, which we guess is always nice.

Apple isn’t the only company showing off its new wares, with Nokia also deciding that it too wants to launch a tablet — with the release of the Nokia Lumia 2520. The Lumia 2520 isn’t really anything special, but it runs Windows RT 8.1 and looks like a Lumia. Nokia also had two phablets to show off in the form of the Lumia 1520 and the Lumia 1320, as well as some budget phones from its Asha line.

We also had our first bit of breaking news, although you’ll have to tune in to see what that was all about.
