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

We're coming at you live this week all the way from Taiwan, where we've spent the week at the RIDICULOUS trade show known as Computex! We've got the new ASUS ZenFone 3 line, the cute little Zenbo robot, and so much more! You can check out all of our Computex coverage here

We take one last spin around Google I/O with an actual developer — Mike Wolfson, the coder behind the Android Central App (among other things). Plus we get more insight from a couple folks who were able to stay out of the Silicon Valley sun.

ICYMI: Episodes 288 and 289 were our LIVE Google I/O editions. Don't miss 'em!

We warned you. And it's come true. This year's Google I/O was so big, it demanded a two-part podcast! And this here is Part 2!

For the next 90 minutes (yep) we'll wrap up more on Google's VR play (called Daydream), Android apps running on Chrome OS, more on Android Auto — and, yes, what worked (and what didn't) on the first Google I/O at Shoreline Amphitheater.

And you can find all of our Google I/O 2016 coverage here!

We're coming at you live from Google I/O 2016! It's Google's annual developer conference where we not only learn about upcoming consumer-facing products and services for things like Android and Chrome and VR — developers get to learn how to start using them! 

And because there's so much awesomeness going on this week, we're going to do TWO podcasts to recap it all. Part 1 covers the keynote address and all the major news from the first day of the event, like Allo and Duo, Google Home and Google Assistant, and Daydream, Google's new VR effort.

You can find all of our Google I/O 2016 coverage here!

Stay tuned for Part 2!

It's a special Cinco de Mayo podcast! By which we mean we're recording on May 5th. First up — we check in on a number of excellent voicemail questions, including what's up with Android Auto these days, more on adoptable storage back backing up your data, and whether the Nexus 9 should best be forgotten at this point.

Plus we dive into the latest scary (or not) story about Google, Android and hacking, and catch up on the latest in Chromebooks.

After a few wild weeks on the road we're back with even more new hardware — the Huawei P9, for one, and the new Android Wear MODE bands for another. Plus the Nextbit Robin has received a major update and is better than ever, someone drops an F-bomb, and we see if podcasts on Google Play Music are anything to fuss over.

The HTC 10 is here! We've been waiting with bated breath for the newest phone from the Taiwanese manufacturer, as it's been some 14 months since the last flagship release. Expectations are high. Excitement has been building. And we've got a whole bunch of thoughts on the HTC 10. Enjoy.

Namaste.

Phil, Jerry, Andrew and Russell gather 'round the fire to discuss anything and everything LG G5. The good. The not-so-good. And whether you should actually consider buying this phone.
