Oculus Go, Movies Anywhere, and Windows Phone died again
We’ve got a bloggy Vergecast today. In between review weeks, a few things popped up in the news that Nilay, Dieter, and Paul needed to talk about. Google is integrating video chat into a phone but still not text; you can now watch all the movies you’ve purchased online in one place; Apple is on a “hype cycle” talking about AR; and Windows Phone died again.
But that’s not all. There’s a whole lot in between that — like the segment Paul does every week, “You know Dan, the duck face is no longer cool” — so listen to it all and you’ll get it all.
07:28 - Android Messaging rant
18:49 - Hollywood studios join Disney to launch Movies Anywhere digital locker service
26:07 - Google will “permanently remove” Home Mini feature that led to constant recording
32:21 - Apple hype cycle
38:02 - Oculus announces new $199 self-contained VR headset called Oculus Go
49:59 - Windows Phone is dead
58:17 - Paul’s weekly segment “You know Dan, the duck face is no longer cool”
1:01:50 - Amazon finally makes a waterproof Kindle, after 10 years of Kindles
