We're taking a break from the current mobile industry news headlines this Diamond Jubilee week. In fact, we're celebrating our own anniversary because it's six years since we first started recording The Fonecast.

Listen to this week's podcast and we'll take you back to 2006, a year in which 'mobile music' meant ringtones, the Nokia N95 redefined 'smart' and we reported rumours of a new Apple 'iPod phone' being prepared by Foxconn.

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