This week we’re talking about the death of SMS in Hangouts. Is it a big deal? Do you use SMS anymore? We’re also talking about a new Microsoft Hololens demo which showed what you’ll actually see through the viewer. Unsurprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is rumored to have a “3D Touch” feature. Lastly, we talk about Android N names and a little Star Wars. Thanks for listening/watching!
