Google I/O 2015, iPhone messaging bug, Lenovo goes nuts | Pocketnow Weekly 150

Опубликовано 29 мая 2015, 18:51

The funny thing about the annual Google I/O developer conference is this: the news doesn't stop for it. In fact, the opposite is true; knowing that Google's about to carpet bomb the mobile tech landscape with two days' worth of Android developments, rivals and partners alike kick their PR machines into overdrive, straining to be heard above the din.

Add in the lack of our customary Chief News Editor, a burgeoning backlog of listener mail and the long-awaited return of Joe Levi the Android Guy, and you've got a recipe for a podcast that's in even more danger of speeding into the weeds than usual. But we've been doing this for almost three years now ... so odds are we can keep this ship on course. Maybe. 

Pocketnow Weekly 150 is surging from the faucet, so put a bucket under it and capture all the mobile-tech goodness you've come to know and love. Watch the video broadcast at 1:00pm Eastern on May 29 (click here for your local time), or check out the high-quality audio version dropped below afterward. And don't forget to shoot your listener mail to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air!
