Android Atlas Weekly 36: The battle of the Android form factors (podcast)

We sift through the bucket loads of Mobile World Congress news for precious Android nuggets, including hardware news, new form factors, and a few ways to view and edit video content on future Android devices. All of that and the Android guys Justin Eckhouse and Antuan Goodwin have a little too much fun with the Androidify app on this week's edition of Android Atlas Weekly.

Hi guys. Love the show. A question for you.

I’m traveling to Europe in a few months with a Sprint HTC EVO. I know that CDMA doesn’t work there, but I’m looking for an app that has the ability to download & store maps on the SD card of Dutch & German cities ahead of time since there is no 3G/4G connection to use in real time. Suggestions?

Aloha and Mahalo,

Eric
