New phones usually enjoy a big comfortable seat in the limelight when they land. This week, however, there’s a lot less elbow room thanks to the recent deluge. But, despite much more muscular competition, that cheeky Asha 210, still manages to get in there first. Enjoy the show.

New remotes from Logitech and a slew of streaming video news from Netflix, Amazon and Microsoft lead off the podcast this week. Netflix finally has more customers than HBO in the US, so we’ll dig into its Q4 numbers and see what’s next for the streaming company. Cox, time Warner Cable and Sky all had updates for their mobile apps this week, which presents the question of Android vs. iOS for video streaming. Finally, another city is getting Google Fiber, and once again it’s a place neither of us live in — hopefully the NFL Draft will go better.

We’re only 60 weeks away from the big 400th podcast, and the excitement is starting to build. So we guess that’s why they’ve demolished the old studio? This week they’ve moved our hosts into temporary residence while — we assume — they build a new, deluxe suite in preparation. Right?
