This week, Mishaal Rahman and C. Scott Brown discuss a new collaboration between Google and Apple that could make transferring data between Android and iOS much easier. Scott also shares his hands-on experience with Google's new Android XR glasses prototypes, and we look at the return of "bumping" phones to share contacts on Android.
