Hi Guys.
I have a complaint. You ask every show for us the listeners to email in our thoughts and opinions and when we do they don’t get read out! I often hear oh sorry we have run out of time to get to your emails but will read them out on the next show. When we take the time to contact yuu we expect to be answered, contacted back, or have the email read, otherwise there’s no point in us making the effort.
Just like to say that I LOVE you guys and the show I listen to every show and have done since the beginning of time i’m taking about the Steve Cherinbo days. I don’t always make contact but I’m always here for you and when my numbers come up I’m flying over and we are going for a beer, that’s a promise.
By the way the first part of this email isn’t really a complaint just a little irritation.
Keep doing what you’re doing guys.
Love to you and yours.
Derek

Just a hello from Ottawa Canada, end of episode 556 asked for a location road call. Self proclaimed Android “NUT” here currently running 3 SIM cards. Pixel 3XL, Note 9 and OnePlus 7Pro are my current devices. Each phone has about 40 tech podcasts, Android App Addicts and Android Buffet are the only two I have on automatic download and AAA is the first one I listen too when available. Keep kicking ass! I do find you guys kind of cheap running devices I would never recommend I always enjoy your points of view. Props to the new hosts, while Eric is still missed I like the new “nutz”!! Cheers, Moist

Hey guys,
Well, this has to be the show that has seen the most changes in the shortest time. A big tip of the hat to all of you for stepping up and helping keep the show going. Door, you also deserve a tip of the hat for convincing such find folk to join you in said podcast.
I found it harder than I would have thought to get used to the new voices, but ever since I had to endure the loss of Steve C., I have come to terms with it and learned to enjoy the changes. It saddens me how several of the hosts had to leave, in particular Eric, but also Mark “laser lips” Cockrell, who destroyed my attempts to trip him up with my feedbacks. I also inadvertantly stepped on Ivor’s toes, suggesting he’d be that “Aussi bloke”, which of course he is NOT, so the “bull in a china shop” saying, applies to me.
I was a long time holdout regarding “Smart Phones”, but when I eventually started listening to this and other podcasts on my smart phone, I too have become an Addict.
I think I have purchased my last flag ship phone.... Prices are going through the roof and having an unlocked phone will save a lot of money, not to mention bring it’s own challenges and rewards. I have my eye on the new Pinephone and hopefully it will find a home here on the show, even if it’s NOT an Android phone.
Guys, enjoy the season, your friends and family, and I look forward to hearing you on AAA in the new year.
Regards

2 items:
1) cell phone bands. I think you need to emphasize more the issue of bands compatibility when shopping Chinese phone models. A phone might be advertised as supporting a US carrier (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc) but it might only support SOME of the band...

Mark: By Dec 31st 2019 it will be illegal to use gender based pronouns of any kind.

Door: Phones with 12 gigs of RAM and batteries will still suck, people will still be screaming about picture quality

Door: 5G Technology will be nowhere, yet people will still be scrambling to be on it just so that they can say they’re on it. The hardware will cost a lot more money.

Eric: Glass is going away as far as screens go, Big screen TV’s will be replaced by super-bright LED WiFi projectors that interface with your phone (chromecast) – you won’t have 70 inch piece of glass sitting in your living room.
(some doubt this would happen in one year)

Mark: Roku concept will take over the world, replace cable box, TiVo etc

Door: Humans as a species losing even more measures of privacy and private data to big tech.

Eric:: Exoskeletons! Exoskeletons for your knee instead of having a knee operation.

Door: We’re going to have a mild revolution of treatment of certain diseases, development of micro-virus treatments to cure certain things.

Mark: 2019 will be the year of the smartwatch, it won’t be called a smartwatch, it will be a FitBit or Garmin.

(Ivor’s Prediction from the chatroom): Microsoft gets back into the mobile phone business, Door adds it will be an android based phone and mentions the courier (folding PC).

Door: We are going to see the public display of Fuscia, it will not be a phone. It will probably replace the home hub.

Door: China vs. South Korea, we will see a continuation of the war of economies between China and South Korea, USA will reap the benefit of a cost reduction from competition.

Door: Android and Chrome OS further converging over time, even though we will probably suffer because of it. Chrome OS and Chrome Laptops will keep selling well, Chrome OS tablets will continue to unbelievably stumble and be unsuccessful.

Mark: Microsoft will release a phone, but it will be a chromium phone.

Door: Progressive web apps which will be the backbone to a system like that will be key. Mentions Appscope – web store for PWA’s. There will be an insane boost to the idea of PWA’s – will make substantial headway toward the end of 2020.

Eric wishes Google will get stock Android to work properly. Google Now lags, google keyboard is horrible, project fi support is crappy etc.

Door: Machine learning and AI will not progress 1% of anything,

Door: All of the bars on technology will continue to be lowered, coding barriers, application development, publishing, PWA’s etc which will allow everybody from any culture to produce applications like “be my eyes” which 1.84 million people volunteered to help on. Most people like doing good and helping each other. Barriers of entry will keep coming down allowing a bunch more people create. Particularly in small co...
