Project Ara was a cool concept, but we were skeptical of it becoming a real thing. This week Google showed us that this is much more than just a concept. We’re very excited. Also, Android TV got leaked and it looks like the idea of Google TV is dead. We also talk about the 5 types of Android users, Samsung’s craziest devices, Wins and Fails of the Week, and our App Picks. Thanks for listening!

Where is Edgar?
He’s no longer with Phandroid, sadly enough.
I like facebook messenger so that I can message facebook contacts without running the full FB app. The full app runs everything in the background instead of just messenger.
