Following on from the 361 Degrees Podcast MWC mini-series come the MWC specials recorded on site in Barcelona (after a busy week on daily episodes). There's an audio tour through hall 3, home of the biggest handset manufacturer stands, a vigorous discussions on the merits of the various NFC trials and initiatives at MWC, and an awards show where the team pick some of their highlights from the preceding four days.

The Audio Tour:

The team tour hall 3 - home to all the biggest exhibitors including Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, Huawei, ZTE and hosts GSMA to describe the stands and crowds.

The NFC argument:

The team discuss (well... argue) about the merits of NFC, which was very visible at MWC 2013.

Ben argues it "doesn't work" and Ewan points out that it clearly does. Rafe suggests a longer-term view...

The 361 Awards:

The team stage a lavish (and largely imaginary) award ceremony giving awards for things such as 'best use of mobile', 'best future tech', 'best mode of transport' and 'best in show'.
