Black Friday and the quest for Inbox Zero | Pocketnow Weekly 176

Here in the US, Thanksgiving is just around the corner – and right after the turkey and tryptophan comes the crazy consumerism. To help you figure out what mobile tech to spend your money on this holiday season (whether it's for yourself or for a lucky family member), we're rounding up all the Black Friday mobile deals we could sift from the internet's tech trove. Then we're raiding Pocketnow's Listener Mail account – because it's almost the end of the year, dammit, and we're getting to Inbox Zero one way or the other. It's all lying in wait on episode 176 of our weekly podcast, so get your coupon-trimming scissors in order and strap on your WWII acoustic headgear, because the Pocketnow Weekly is coming in hot!
Watch the video broadcast from 1:00pm Eastern on November 25, or check out the high-quality audio version the Monday after we broadcast. And don't forget to shoot your listener mail to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air!
