We have something for everyone in this week's podcast. There's bad news as Samba Mobile closes, bad news as Apple and Samsung suffer product faults... and bad news as wearable devices are criticised for the poor user experience they offer.

Yet there's good news as well, with the launch of mobile payments by Paym, the launch of premium mobile-oriented audio products from Samsung and upbeat quarterly results from Apple and Facebook. Plus we're reporting the Microsoft/Nokia deal and a curious tech industry court case from the USA.

You can listen to the programme on our website audio player, via iTunes, by using our RSS feed, on the Stitcher.com app or by downloading the mp3 file directly.
