Tech Weekly podcast: Nokia's mobile alliance with Microsoft

Aleks Krotoski is joined by Vic Keegan, former editor of the Guardian's Technology section and developer of iPhone apps City Poems and Shakespeare's London, to discuss the latest coming from the "burning platform" at Nokia. The merger, announced this week, between the mobile phone hardware manufacturer and the software developer has caused heatwaves throughout the technology industry, with pundits asking if this really was the big decision that Nokia CEO Stephen Elop needed to take to save the company.

Rewired State's Adam McGreggor and the Guardian's Robbie Clutton join Vic and Aleks to talk through the results of last weekend's Guardian SXSW Hack, which saw a meeting of the minds between journalists and technologists. The 80-strong group worked through Saturday night to produce apps that hacks can use to cover news events, such as the SXSW conference. But what happens at these events? Aleks and Jemima Kiss report back after the dust has settled.
