Weekly Recap: I/O So Close You Can Taste the Oreo

Google I/O is next week, so you are going to want to make sure you catch up on everything that happened this week. I say that because next week will be beyond nuts with the amount of news that is sure to pour in and you’ll want to be current before we get there. For example, Google has a new way to make Android updates happen faster in Project Treble, plus we should get a new Android O build, likely as a beta. Oh and Fuchsia is a thing. Lots of stuff.

Outside of that, we got Amazon’s new Echo Show a few days ago, voice calls and messaging through Alexa, the unlocked Galaxy S8 and G6, and answered a bunch of questions through another Q&A session. You’ll find links to all the hotness below.
