Plus, Rik talks about his experience of being locked in a room with Anthony Daniels - C3PO, a couple of chaps from Industrial Light and Magic, and some exclusive footage of the forthcoming Star Wars The Complete Saga Blu-ray box-set. And, rather than a games review this week, the team reveals more than expected about the first act of Gears of War 3's campaign mode, which we've played in full.

Pocket-lint Podcast #50 | You'd think that, as it's reached the ripe old age of 50, there would be a massive party and celebrations for this week's podcast, but as the team completely forgot, there's nary even a mention. However, rather than mope and feel old, Podcast number 50 comes out fighting this week, with Samsung versus Apple, BlackBerry versus Facebook Messenger, Anonymous versus Facebook, and Stuart Miles versus his own kids for sheer audio volume. Therefore, the Linters explain the legal details behind the injunction on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Europe, what they think of Facebook's latest attempt to take over the world, and why hacktivist group Anonymous is unlikely to stop it from doing so. Plus, Android exclusive Grand Prix Story is our game of the week... Find out why. There's even a new news sting, for those who care about such tomfoolery.

Pocket-lint Podcast #49 | Sky's controversial announcement about the Formula One broadcast rights takes centre stage this week, as two Lint F1 fans, Rik and (new to the podcast) Hunter join the mass debate (fnar) on whether a pay TV model is right for the sport. While Dan wonders if Horace Luke's resignation from HTC could be bad for the handset manufacturer, or good for the rest of the industry. Apple's public break-up with Foxconn for iPad 3 manufacture is on the agenda, as is the latter company's prospective adoption of robots rather than staff members. And Hunter Newsgatherer talks us through the highlights of the Namco Bandai 2011/2012 games preview. Plus, find out what the team's favourite games of all time are. There's at least one surprise.

Pocket-lint Podcast #48 | Everything was going to be so professional and slick this week... Until the Skittles Newlyweds viral video invaded the office, that is. Naturally, considering the subject matter, seriousness went south and the team decided to talk about that instead. Of course, Apple's mid-week launches couldn't be avoided by the plucky Pocket-linters, with Paul explaining exactly what's wrong with the new MacBook Airs (and any of the former ranges). Plus, the fake Apple Store in China gets a look in. Dan suggests that C3PO and R2D2 were the wrong choices for the Star Wars Xbox 360, and each of the team members explain how they'd most like their console pimped. Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty on iOS devices is the game of the week. So, join the Linters for a fruit filled podcast, with more flavour than a spurt of sweeties. | 7/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pocket-lint Podcast #46 | This week on the Podcast we try and go a little bit high-brow - kicking off with a chat about the very last launch in the 30-year Space Shuttle programme. We then move to more familiar tech ground, with a web-heavy show that features plenty of debate about Facebook and Skype's hookup for video calling within the social network. We discuss the awkward non-personality of the enigma that is Mark Zuckerberg, and ask whether Steve Jobs would have been ignored by a canteen full of live bloggers, whilst talking about trends and graphs. Stu also gives us the run-down on his latest findings within Google+ and we talk about how the Big G's new social avenue will take on Facebook, as well as chewing the fat over where next can the ubiquitous Google empire grow.

Pocket-lint Podcast #39 | This week is all been about big tech companies letting us down. Firstly Sony dropped the ball by completely cocking up with PlayStation Network security and then Apple tripped over it when it kind of admitted that it had been tracking us all along. Take a listen to hear our thoughts. It's not all tech doom and gloom though, Dan waxes lyrical about the amazing Samsung Galaxy S II and Stuart even mentions how it's tempted him to stray from his trusty iPhone. Stu and Dan also get all excited about the Royal Wedding (they've got their party frocks ready), whilst Paul sulks and instead tells us all about bludgeoning people to death in the brilliant new Mortal Kombat title (virtually, of course).
