Pocketnow Weekly 150: Google I/O 2015, iPhone messaging bug, Lenovo goes nuts

Published: May 30, 2015, 11:55 p.m.

The funny thing about the annual Google I/O developer conference is this: the news doesn't stop for it. In fact, the opposite is true; knowing that Google's about to carpet bomb the mobile tech landscape with two days' worth of Android developments, rivals and partners alike kick their PR machines into overdrive, straining to be heard above the din. Add in the lack of our customary Chief News Editor, a burgeoning backlog of listener mail and the long-awaited return of Joe Levi the Android Guy, and you've got a recipe for a podcast that's in even more danger of speeding into the weeds than usual. But we've been doing this for almost three years now ... so odds are we can keep this ship on course. Maybe. Join us for a broadband discussion ranging from the iPhone messaging bug to Lenovo's crazy tech showcase to the latest Lumia leaks and beyond!
