Live musical interludes, tips on how to survive a zombie apocalypse, Portal, Resident Evil 4... We may be one man down this week, but we're plugging the Chris shaped gap with even more nonsense than usual.

This week's podcast marks the start of our new, shorter format. Still with all the same news, rumours, hands-on reports and competitions, but in half the time and twice as funny!

Among rumblings of GTA, Lucas Arts, new iPod touches and the App Store's first birthday, Professor Rob pins down the plural form of phenomenon and we profess our love for Stephen Fry's Twittering activities.

Chris is back from the dead, Rob's linguistic pedantry is in full flow and Fraser's obsession with mythical creatures is barely concealed. This week our three brave hosts chew over id's iPhone plans, as well as what they've been playing and of course, the latest from the Rumour Mine.

The third iPhone, the 3G S, is out, as is the new 3.0 software so there's plenty to chat about with guest Stuart Dredge this week. Besides these fresh iPhone developments, there's also time to chat about what we've been playing, the rumour mine and Christian Bale's accent.

After sending the intrepid Jon Jordan out into the field to cover WWDC, we've roped him back within listening distance of a mic, so he can tell us about what he saw, what he heard and what he can't talk about yet...

E3's just gone so we're picking apart the PSP Go!'s fresh attack on Apple's turf, as well as taking on Harvest Moon and the controversial Kryzer Prologue. And after that we still find time to fit in a new weekly competition, take a look at what we've been playing and, of course, the Rumour Mine.

This week we discuss how the Zune HD and Nokia's Ovi Store will affect the iPhone plus we get excited about Doom iPhone. All that plus The Rumour Mine, our weekly competition and a definitive answer as to whether Skips are crisps.

We get excited about Capcom and Sega bringing their big guns to the iPhone and fret over the imminent arrival of micro-transactions. All that plus a run down of what we've been playing and of course another round of guess the game tune.

In the first audio version of the Pocket Gamer iPhone podcast, Fraser MacInnes, Rob Hearn and Chris James chew over the retro games they'd like to see on the iPhone, discuss why Flight Control is so fantastic and tackle the thorny issue of iPhone game pricing.
