Joshua Vergara, Jonathan Feist, Joe Hindy and David Imel get together early Sunday morning to chat technology in episode 111 of the Android Authority Podcast. We talk about tech in general, but two main topics guide the show, the HTC U 11 and smart assistants. Apple has a pod now, Amazon's Alexa continues to shine, but Google Home is catching up. The debate turns to software vs experience vs hardware, all the while considering practicality of it all based on current capabilities and limitations. Warning, we use all of the Personal Assistant trigger words, many times. If "OK, Google", "Alexa", "Echo" or "Computer" are your hotwords, consider using headphones for this show.

Joshua Vergara, Joe Hindy, Jonathan Feist and David Imel get together to chat phones, watches and drones in episode 109 of the Android Authority Podcast. We share some final thoughts on Google I/O, but mostly we're talking Android O, which, actually, is little more than an emoji conversation. It's okay David, you'll survive the blobs. DJI has announced a small new drone, the DJI Spark threatens to be the drone that puts drones in mainstream. Wearables rear their head again, we've all used a smart watch and/or a fitness band, but none of them have really stuck, what comes next?

Joshua Vergara is in San Francisco for Google I/O 2017. Taking a couple days to let it all sink in, Kris Carlon, Nirave Gondhia, David Imel and Edgar Cervantes join together to chat about the event. Google I/O provided plenty of value to developers, introducing many great new tools that we'll see in products moving forward. Android O was a minor topic directly, but will be the version of the OS that gets all the best in the coming months. Google Photos got a few clever and intuitive (hopefully) additions and Google Assistant got a significant rollout... to iOS.
