Mobile Roar 71: Nexus Player review, Nokia N1, and Chris finds “The One”

This week on the podcast we’re talking about Kevin’s Nexus Player review. Did Google do enough to persuade Kevin from disconnecting his ancient Google TV? Other topics include Apple’s war on “freemium” titles, Nokia’s weird (but cool?) N1 Android tablet, and SnapCash. We also hear Chris excitedly gush about his latest favorite phone. Will it stick?

NOTE: Next week’s episode will be recorded on Wednesday.
