Stephen is teaching his cat how to use a BlackBerry that he's about to pitch to Mark Cuban on Shark Tank while doing various other things and oh, it's Sora 2. This week on the Android Police podcast, we nod to the doom loom and the money problems that the tech industry at large is whistling over. That, plus coverage of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's explosive event on the JerryRigEverything channel as well as a look to what 2026 has to offer, at least from the Chinese side of Android.
