Listener Questions

This is one of the few weeks in the year where phones and mobile gadget news is overshadowed by the gaming industry. We still have a few important mobile topics to discuss this week, such as the horrible rumor of Comcast buying T-Mobile, but we also talk about Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Of course, we also share our wins and fails, app picks, and answer listener questions.

WWDC happened this week, and with it came a bunch of Apple-y news. iOS 9 gets a Google Now competitor, iPads get better multitasking, and Apple Music will be coming to Android. We also talk about pizza boxes, the ugly Samsung Galaxy S6 Active, smart buttons, and much more!

Android M is here, and there is a lot of new stuff to dig through. We talk about our favorite new features and other goodies from Google IO. Nintendo is in the mobile new again this week, Microsoft acquires another great app, a crazy-fast voice assistant app, and much more!

The tech world is about to be buried in Google IO news; we make some predictions before the big event. Cortana is coming to Android and iOS, but is that a bad thing for Windows Phone? KFC makes Bluetooth food trays, Periscope arrives on Android, OnePlus is doing something, and more!

It's always a good episode when something crazy happens to Chris. This week he accidentally left his DROID Turbo in the freezer overnight. We also discuss old Android phone designs, the Asus Zenfone 2, LG G4 launch date, Mad Men finale, and much more!

It's a bittersweet episode this week. We say goodbye to Kevin, but also say hello to a new member of the podcast. The four of us talk about Verizon buying AOL, Google self-driving car accidents, ads in Blinkfeed, beer machines, Nintendo, and much more!
