This Week On The TechCrunch Gadgets Podcast: Bye Bye BlackBerry And Vanilla Android On The HTC One/GS4

BlackBerry is “circling the toilet,” as Chris Velazco puts it so eloquently. Meanwhile, Google is now offering stock Android versions of the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4. We’re also mildly interested in Hyundai’s new infotainment system, Blue Link, (especially given Apple’s foray into the car with iOS 7).

Just as you’d expect on this lovely summer Friday, we discuss all this and more during this week’s TechCrunch Gadgets Podcast.

This week’s conversation features John Biggs, Jordan Crook, Chris Velazco, Natasha Lomas, and a dash of Darrell Etherington.

Enjoy!

We invite you to enjoy our weekly podcasts every Friday at 3pm Eastern and noon Pacific.
