Mobile Roar 85: Top 5 essential apps, Chris’ DROID Turbo saga, and Peter Chou

This week the guys answer one simple question: what are the 5 most important apps/services that every phone needs to have? It’s not as easy as you might think. They also discuss early HTC One M9 reviews, Peter Chou’s exit from HTC, Cyanogen phone drama, the exaggerated “death” of Google Glass, and Chris’ quest to buy a gold DROID Turbo for some reason. How long will he last this time? Thanks for watching/listening!
