This Week On The TC Gadgets Podcast: Omate, CarPlay, And Hoverboards… Oh My!

It’s Friday, which means your Pavlovian response to the nearing weekend has left you drooling to hear us chat about gadgets. Hooray!

Smartwatches are taking over the world, or at least our wrists, and Omate is the next gifted wrist-worn gadget to go under our microscope. Meanwhile, Apple released CarPlay, officially making your super sweet ride an iPhone accessory. And finally, is this Hoverboard a real thing? And if so, why?

We discuss all this and more on this week’s episode of the TC Gadgets Podcast, featuring John Biggs, Jordan Crook, Natasha Lomas, Romain Dillet, and Darrell Etherington.

Enjoy!

We invite you to enjoy our weekly podcasts every Friday at 3 p.m. Eastern and noon Pacific. And feel free to check out the TechCrunch Gadgets Flipboard magazine right here.
