Happy Friday, everyone! It's been a busy week, for sure — well, more so for some of us here, less so for others — but we're going to close things out right. We're gearing up for a live recording of the Greatest Android Podcast in the World this afternoon.

So join us at 4:30 p.m. EDT for the live podcast broadcast. We'll see you there!
