Android Authority Podcast

Joshua Vergara, Jonathan Feist and Joe Hindy take a few minutes, or 40, to bring you up to speed and give you an idea what the team is working on. Please note, this is not a normal episode of the Android Authority Podcast, it's more of an extended check-in with a focus on coming events. By the time you read this, Josh will be on an airplane for China. Jonathan will be packing his bag for a DJI event and the NAB Show, a convention in Las Vegas. Joe Hindy will be, well, just going about his normal work week bringing you the best apps and games for Android.

It is a very busy time around the Android Authority network, be sure to check in with Charged.io, VRSource.com and SoundGuys.com for some of the latest from our team.

Joshua Vergara is joined by Joe Hindy, David Imel and Adam Molina for another great episode of the Android Authority Podcast. The guys enjoy a lengthy discussion on the new YouTube TV streaming service - is it worth it? Maybe. The ages old debate on hardware vs software buttons gets hashed out and Josh, at least, is excited that Pebble watches and apps will no longer need Pebble servers to operate. While the team was recording, Jonathan Feist enjoyed most of the day off, a bit of wind knocked out his power - having no electricity is like taking a vacation in this job.

Joshua Vergara was in New York for the Samsung Unpacked event, where they announced the Galaxy S8 - you know he recorded a fun special episode with awesome guests to memorialize the trip. This week, John Velasco and Nirave Gondhia return to chat, joined by special guests Chris Velazco (@chrisvelazco), Cherlynn Low (@CherlynnLow) and Evan Rodgers (@evanrodgers) of Engadget. The topics were pretty straightforward, the Galaxy S8 was the main dish, with all other new things from Samsung on the side. Of course, they explored one other very important topic, what comes next?

In this special episode of the Android Authority podcast, Josh hangs out independently with Nicole Scott (@nicole_scooter) of Mobile Geeks, she thinks the LG G6 is the winner of the show!

Next up, Juan Carlos Bagnell (@SomeGadgetGuy) of Pocketnow, with his infectious personality, laughs along with Josh. Tablets and laptops join the conversation, as does the Samsung S Pen and wearables. The talk mostly stays on a high level, talking about how people see the various devices and what it's like to attend these fun tech shows. Not to mention that LG G6 screen corner situation.

Last up, as both missed their flights, Michael Fischer (@theMrMobile) of, well, he's Mr. Mobile and Josh hang out for an hour to talk MWC. Fashion starts the chat, with vests and suits. What you really want to hear about, best of the show, behind the scenes at how the guys work and actual tech talk. Wearable tech rears its head, watches are big with these two, as is photography.

Joshua Vergara, Joe Hindy, Jonathan Feist and David Imel officially close out the double digits with episode 99 of the Android Authority Podcast. That might be a lie, with a special episode coming next week, delaying episode 100, but we're close! Topics around the team included love and dating, but specifically how iPhone users have been found to judge Android users poorly. Android Wear 2.0 is rolling out, but is the smartwatch the right medium? Samsung putting the fingerprint scanner beside the camera, weird, but is that a problem? But first, we express that we're not overly worried about the Google Now Launcher exiting the Play Store.

Joshua Vergara, Jonathan Feist, David Imel and Adam Molina get excited for technology on the 98th episode of the Android Authority Podcast. Razer purchased Nextbit, so we imagine what will come of that, the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 stop getting full OS updates, and patches only promised through 2017. Google Voice received its first real update in a long, long time, then we talk AI and AR, but not until after diving into a big topic, the immigration bans from President Donald Trump and how they affect the technology and companies behind the tech.
