This is the half-hour portion of the Android Police podcast that we recorded two weeks ago talking a little bit about the everlong travails of Google when it comes to Fitbit and getting Apple to adopt RCS. Well, we at least know how one of those stories worked out, but we also continue writing the story of this very show and the business of what we…

Every morsel of gravity in the world hits the downhill this episode on the Android Police podcast with OpenAI sacking CEO Sam Altman while Apple outsteps Nothing in bridging the gap between iMessage and the rest of the modern texting world - and there's a very good reason why now was the time for the company to get on board with Google and RCS.

Anyways, we catch up with some chat on the Snapdragon X Elite chips, bemoan the Galaxy S23 FE, continue to praise the OnePlus Open, and give Google a sideways glance and ask how it's doing …
