Not having an app drawer isn't exactly a new phenomenon, nor is it something any self-respecting smartphone nerd should ever worry about.

From the Editor's Desk: It's true, all of it
158
There's that line in "The Force Awakens" where Han Solo gives the tl;dr of everything you missed so far. "It's true. All of it." Great line. And applicable to much of what I'm seeing today.
MWC 2016
From the Editor's Desk: Damn, that was fun

Home, finally, from what probably is our best Mobile World Congress yet.

From the Editor's Desk: Going big in Barcelona ...

We head to Barcelona this week for Mobile World Congress. And as we do every year, we're going to cover the crap out of it.

From the Editor's Desk: The return of Google Podcasts ...

Podcasts never went anywhere, and they're about to get a big boost from finally returning to one of Google's core apps.

From the Editor's Desk: Android & airlines

Airlines are slowly getting better in-flight entertainment, and we're slowly starting to see take better advantage of the phones we have anyway.

Understanding what makes EMUI tick

The name of the game, folks, is "battery life at all costs."
CES 2016
From the Editor's Desk: Dust settles on Vegas
61
So, CES. Now that the dust has settled — it mostly was kept down by a rainy week in the desert anyway — I'm trying to think about what stood out, at least from an Android point of view.

From the Editor's Desk: World without headphone jacks
234
I asked a couple of folks who make phones for a living about what getting rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack might mean.

And we're officially at the point of the year in which Google makes good on its promises to get products and services out the door before the new year. But something's missing.

Funny thing about traveling: Once you start learning about other parts of the world, you tend to want to learn more.

From the Editor's Desk: The audacity of the Facebook
153
I love the audacity of Facebook, the company, and how it rightly (yet so wrongly) operates under the assumption that you're using Facebook, you'll continue to use Facebook and that there's absolutely no way you'll ever quit Facebook — ever.

I don't speak the language. I can't read a single character. But I can recognize that little wonder machine that was pulled from a pocket.

Opinions and other crazy ideas
195
Phil is off this week, after a lengthy trip to Asia to learn cool smartphone stuff (and play in the snow!) he needs a day or two to rest. This week I'm going to talk about (you guessed it) the Blackberry Priv. But not about what I think of it, or how to do something with it. I want to talk about the controversy around the reviews.

The folks behind the Big Android BBQ really know how to make a person feel like they belong. They have me itching to get out more to see more things.

From the Editor's Desk: Too many phones

We've reached that point of the year in which I have a serious problem I have absolutely no reason to complain about: Too many new phones.

From the Editor's Desk: Semi-annual reminder

My grandmother turns 89 years old today. And I like to think the things she experienced when she was my age 50 years ago (!) would be as historically amazing to me now as holding an iPhone is for her.

From the Editor's Desk: Don't rule out Tizen
105
Do not make the mistake of ignoring the Samsung Gear S2. It's an imperfect smartwatch, but also one that's lightyears ahead of its similarly Tizen-powered predecessors.

From the Editor's Desk: Next week tomorrow!

So here we go. New Nexus week. The phones are just part of it, of course. We'll have a more in-depth preview Monday of what we're expecting Tuesday. But me? I'm hoping for a few surprises.

And things are about to get real exciting around there the next few weeks. And months. Probably through the end of the year.
