Weekly Round Up #63: Google I/O 2016, Nokia, Mango R1 sale & Max Verstappen

Welcome to Weekly Roundup, our podcast discussing the latest tech trends, innovation, and news from the last few days.

This week, the main man Stuart Thomas talks to Andy and Hadlee.

This week the team discusses the announcements at Google I/O 2016, Foxconn and HMD Global purchase of Microsoft’s feature phone unit for US$350-million (which signals Nokia’s return to tablets and smartphones), Mango’s R1 glitch sale and Max Verstappen, an 18-year-old Dutch driver, who has won the Spanish Formula 1 GP.

On the ‘What are you…?’ segment, the team discusses the TV series they’re currently watching, the games they’re addicted to and, uh… the lunch they’re eating.

Tweet Of The Week also comes from Google I/O 2016, and has something to do with a spray dispenser.
