This week’s show features a quick rundown of Amazon’s new devices. It also has a lot of exciting news on the wearable front. Kevin Tofel reviews his Apple Watch with LTE and we also discuss a new program from the Food and Drug Administration that will allow nine companies to get pre-certifications for their devices. I’m optimistic that consumers will get more innovation and better data. We also hit on a stealthy new lighting startup from a former Nest co-founder, a partnership around autonomous vehicles and a fight between Google and Amazon.
My guest is Matt Rogers, co-founder and VP of Engineering at Nest, who discusses the rationale behind the new Nest Security system and where Nest is heading. We also talk about efforts to build a closer relationship between the Google Home and Nest teams. Plus, he offers hope for an eventual HomeKit integration, although I am not going to hold my breath. Enjoy the show.

I love everything about your content in your show. What gets on my last nerve is your little bursts of phrase-singing and melodic phrasing, plus the occasional utterances of joy. Probably the most obnoxious things I’ve ever heard And judging by the tone of your cohost voice and your parents is on the twit network I think most people would secretly agree with me. Sorry but someone had to tell you
Perhaps you are a good candidate for my newsletter then. Although there are exclamation points.
