Tech Weekly podcast: Samsung and M-Spot take on Apple's iTunes

This week on Tech Weekly with Aleks Krotoski and Guardian Technology editor Charles Arthur we look at the possible loss of 6,000 jobs at the beleaguered handset manufacturer Research in Motion, maker of BlackBerry phones.

Also we discuss the introduction of new EU rules around the use of cookies by websites and why the UK could find itself out of step with the new regulations.

And the Korean technology giant Samsung move closer to an Apple-like strategy of offering music services with its hardware. Samsung recently announced its purchase of the M-Spot online music service and Charles talks to TJ Kang from Samsung and Darren Tsui from M-Spot about their plans to offer an alternative to iTunes.

Finally, Charles and Aleks discuss the topsy-turvy world of the Facebook IPO and why contrary to much of the negative reporting the best may be yet to come for Mark Zuckerberg's company.
