“Who knows what goes through the minds of cellular executives.”

Attack of the Androids episode 15 begins and ends with a bang, and with it, the very last episode of 2011. Joining me tonight is Jeremy Lesniak and Joey Kelley. The rest of the crew will hopefully be back next year, assuming they don’t get blown up by explosions, or fireworks, or anything odd like that.  Also coming next year is our brand new website, so keep an eye out for that over at AttackoftheAndroids.com.

We start the show with a discussion about some interesting findings about one of the most popular Android messaging apps, Handcent. Hopefully we can have the author on the show next week to answer some of the questions we tossed back and forth. If I delete something on my device, it should be deleted, not stored in a database somewhere just in case. But, some might disagree. That leads to a short discussion on an article by Paul Thurrott comparing Android to Windows back in the day. Oh, and hey Joey, what’s RedTube? This sounds like another classic episode of AotA.

“And he still loves it after it beats him at checkers.”

Mat Lee Hosts. Joined by Joey Kelley, Seth Heringer and Eric Finkenbiner. This week the AotA crew discuss the Android news of the week including the long awaited Galaxy Nexus release.

Guess who has a galaxy nexus. we are happy to answer any and all questions you might have in regards to the third Google Nexus device. We pretty much spend the first half of the show discussing the Galaxy Nexus, so if you don’t care, or are sick of hearing about it, feel free to fast forward. It won’t hurt our feelings.

Carrier IQ back in the news with a 12 page public relations PDF. Note how they back peddle in paragraph two, and rather than demonize Trevor Eckhart or try to send another cease and desist, they actually thank him for sharing his findings, thus improving the Carrier IQ experience for everyone. Nice work… right?

Are you enjoying Google Currents? We give our reviews on this pretty magazine type news app.

After all this amazing discussion, we end the show as usual, with the AotA team’s app picks of the week. If you develop awewsome apps, or know of one you think we might like, email show@attackoftheandroids.com and let us know about it! This week we have PDA net which works with the Galaxy Nexus, GTA III coming soon, and MX Moto Lite.

Thanks for joining us, we’ll talk to you all again next week. In the meantime, be sure to subscribe in iTunes and write us a glowing five star review. Also be sure to find us on Google+, like our Facebook page, and continue our discussions on the forums!
