The AH Show was a blast this week. We got a surprise visit from Chris, and we also talked about a bunch of news and hardware stuff, and some pretty cool things happening with software and apps too. Google sold Motorola to Lenovo. They also signed a patent deal with Samsung and got Samsung to agree to stop making TouchWiz horrible. Microsoft finally announced their new CEO. Amazon and Samsung are discounting some of their hardware. The rumored red Nexus 5 is finally available for purchase, as is the LG G Flex. Koush’s AllCast app has Chromecast support again thanks to Google opening the Chromecast SDK to developers. All that and more will be discussed on the AH Show this week.
