doesn't run Android, but those who use Android can benefit from its existence. If something Android adjacent is a great product with a great app, we're going to talk about the whole product. That includes the drone you clip onto paper airplanes so they can fly farther, the Sous Vide cooker that updates you with notifications, all things Amazon Echo, some

This isn't going to detract from our normal Android coverage, but it's something we're going to have some fun with. We're not going to fill the homepage with tutorials on how to fix a stuck button on your connected scale, but we are going to let you know what we think after using it.
