Charge! Veer! Infuse! This week’s Engadget Mobile Podcast bullet points read more like oddly descriptive imperatives than phones, but we’ll roll with it. Get the hottest juice on updates, crackdowns, and revved-up releases from all corners of the mobile world — including both planet earth and BlackBerry world.

PS – Myriam joins us from the jungle near south-central California, and as a result is a little bandwidthy-sounding, and Vlad joins us from the wilds of the UK, where royals are allowed to go shopping by themselves, so we appreciate your bearing with us through some audio-technical issues.
