Will Chrome OS and Android finally merge already?

(00:06:33)

And it might just be called Andromeda. So, will a Pixel 3 laptop run Andromeda OS? How about a Nexus 7P tablet? News

15:47 | Android Wear 2.0 delayed until 2017.

18:09 | Will Huawei's next watch run Tizen?

29:39 | Samsung replaces replacement Note 7.

38:00 | Could this possibly be the Galaxy S8? Really?

44:41 | We're already talking iPhone 8 rumors...

49:29 | Apple might send your iMessage contact numbers to police.

54:08 | Sprint's "Free iPhone" deal could return a profit.

57:26 | Rogers bundling Projector MotoMod with every Moto Z pre-order.

59:38 | Lenovo lays off most of its remaining Motorola employees. Blackberry says goodbye to hardware?

(01:03:15)

No more in-house phone development, as more images of the DTEK60 leak, but CEO John Chen says there will be QWERTY phones in the future.
