I noticed a new phenomenon at Mobile World Congress this year: Beer O’Clock. Come 5pm Monday through Wednesday, companies with larger booths would break out the Cerveza, Vino, Cava and a small number of Orange juices. All very sociable and fun… until the music started.

This week's mobile industry news podcast starts with two very different stories from Nokia and Microsoft: one is announcing closures, the other is expanding its manufacturing.

The ongoing reorganisation at Nokia will see another 10,000 people leaving and two factories closing. Meanwhile Microsoft has revealed Surface, a new range of devices that aim to challenge the iPad's dominance of the tablet market. We also find time to talk about roaming tariffs, mobile money, intelligent vending machines and a handful of recent mobile-related acquisitions.

You can listen to the programme on our website audio player, via iTunes, by using our RSS feed or by downloading the MP3 or OGG audio files directly. Alternatively, install the Android, iOS or webOS Stitcher Radio app and stream the podcast straight to your mobile phone.
