This Week in Android Revamp

This Week in Android is making the move to This Week in Mobile. We have decided that as much as we love Android, we want to be able to talk about other mobile news as well. So, next week we will have expanded to become This Week in Mobile. On this expanded show, we will cover carriers, hardware (like tablets), mobile operating systems, and developers.

If you, or a party you know of is interested in sponsoring This Week in Mobile, please contact sponsor at thisweekin . com.

What do you think of this expansion? Let us know in the comments!

    Great idea! Won't mind losing the (very busy) TWIA hashtag either which is shared with This Week In Asia

    Good luck with the change, but this is probably one listener that you're going to loose. I only am interested in Android, and don't want to have to sit through conversation about iPhone/WinMo/WebOS/etc to get to the content I want to hear. Take care!

    I'm sure there's lots of people who don't care what operating system their phone runs but I wouldn't have thought that many of them are the sort of people passionate enough about mobile technology to subscribe to a podcast about it.

    The people who care enough are (I would have thought) unlikely to want to hear 3/4 of a podcast dedicated to something they've already decided they're not interested in. Personally I have no interest in BB/iPhone/WinMo etc

    I'm sure you've done your research, I wish you well and I will stick around for a show or two but I'm sad that you haven't managed to attract a big enough audience with a purely Android show.

    well i guess this is for the best. Since not every week you get some interesting news for android and it's hard to talk for an hour or so when nothing is new. However, I'm not very interested into listening about anything Apple because I just hate that company with a passion due to how lock down it is (no offense to apple-fan). Im fine listening about other platform though. We will see how it goes.

    Makes complete sense.

    Makes no sense to me. Is there some other mobile operating system other than android worth talking about?

    I've gotta say I'm not really interested in anything but passing coverage of anything non-Android. Isn't that kinda the point of “This Week In . . .?” – niche podcasting?

    As others have said, I am not really interested in non-Android news for the medium.  There has been enough content to fill each episode and if there is a slow week, just make it shorter that week. Right now, every media outlet is already up in Apple’s grill and I already have to sort through the same Apple news/rumors being reported over and over and over again.  Maybe if Windows Mobile or Blackberry were major players, it would be worthwhile, but this just isn’t the time.

    I’ll give it a shot for a few episodes, but doubt I’ll stick around.
