Mobile Roar 67: Inbox invites, T-Mobile G1 birthday, and more!

Hey bro, you got any invites? That’s the question being asked across the internet this week as Google introduced a brand new email app called “Inbox.” We talk about this new app and how Google is changing the way we use email. Happy Birthday to the T-Mobile G1! We remember the phone that started Android’s dominance, and share stories about our first smartphones. All of this, and much, much more in this week’s episode. Thanks for watching/listening!
