John Westfall highlights that people like him use tablets for &#8220;tablet-y type things&#8221; such as viewing sheet music, lecture notes, or needing a larger screen for mobility without a permanently attached keyboard. They compare this perspective to past dismissals of smartwatches and the debate over a month view in older Windows Mobile calendars, suggesting some people struggle to understand diverse tech use cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Adobe Project Indigo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Todd installed and is reviewing Adobe Project Indigo, a free, high-end photography app for iPhone 15 Pro Max that shoots in raw format.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Android 16 Release<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Android OS 16 was released on June 10th for Pixel phones and tablets, offering improved notifications, better hearing device compatibility, and enhanced security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Budget Android Tablet Warning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: John warns against unbranded budget Android tablets, as they often do not receive OS upgrades or monthly security updates after purchase, making them potentially insecure within months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Future Wearables and Bionic Devices<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The hosts express boredom with current wearables and discuss desired future &#8220;bionic devices&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vision Pro 2<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: They hope for a Vision Pro with an integrated battery and bundled peripherals for productivity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>AR Smart Glasses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: John desires AR smart glasses with integrated vision correction, darkening for sunglasses, recording, and a heads-up display.
