Android Central Podcast
The Android podcast for everyone. A weekly show about Android, Google, and the best of mobile technology.

 

We're on the road this week, with Phil and MrMobile himself — the one and only Michael Fisher — attending Verizon's Moto Z Droid event. We've got a few new nuggets out of that one, and a few things we have to wait a little longer for.

Pokémon Go is everywhere. It brings together a part of our childhoods and smashes is right into The Future, thanks to our smartphones. There's a pretty good chance that you could step out onto any public street in America and find someone playing it. And the rest of the world is coming soon.

So we took a half-hour to catch up on what all the fuss is about. There's a LOT going on here. If you're trying to figure out what Pokémon Go is, or whether it's something you'll want to play, you don't want to miss this. 

You can catch up on all of our Pokémon Go stories here!

There's no such thing as a slow week in the Android world. And in the span of a single morning we've gotten both the nickname for Android N — Nougat — and a long-overdue unlocked version of the Samsung Galaxy S7 in the United States. 

Plus we weigh in on some recent stories that probably have been blown way out of proportion, and we answer some excellent questions via email.

We've done podcasts in all sorts of conditions, but this is the first that's been interrupted by a tornado. Find out if Jerry survived! (He did.) See if he woke up in Oz wearing a pair of ruby slippers! (Wouldn't be the first time.)

But more important, we catch up on a whole lot of YOUR questions about all things recent goings on of Android. This is a must-listen show!!!
