Productivity apps are the bane of the app world. On one end of the spectrum are the total nerds who could shame a cyborg with their organizing skills, and on the other are those who dump everything into Google Keep just to have everything in one place.

Despite some speed and network coverage improvements, 5G hasn’t really lived up to the hype. You know it, I know it, and deep down, even the carriers know it.

We also saw glimpses of app sharing, which could allow you to access apps installed on other devices.

Android TV currently offers a Discover tab for getting recommendations and building your watchlist. A new update to the system launcher suggests that Google’s planning to drop Discover and move your watchlist to the Home tab.
