Show Notes
Welcome to episode 98 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will dig into all sorts of recent exclusive reporting. From Google's upcoming app icon redesigns for Workspace — and, if Pixel is any indication, far beyond — to the upcoming Fitbit Air fitness band and its Google-ified partner app, there's plenty to talk about. Plus, we look at Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Glasses and wonder just whether they're the right pair for us.
