<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">In this episode, we chat with Andrew Bunner and Akshay Kannan from the Nearby team. Nearby is a technology that allows devices that are, er, <i>nearby</i> to communicate in one of several ways (including ultrasonic frequencies, which is just kind of awesome).<br /> <br /> Favorite bits: "beeps and boops" (a technical term), "acoustical chamber" (sounds a lot cooler than it probably is), and the three most important things about Nearby: proximity, proximity, proximity.<br /> <br /> Subscribe to the <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/AndroidDevelopersBackstage" target="_blank">podcast feed</a> or download the <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/androiddevelopers/android_developers_backstage/ADB%2034%20Really%20Nearby.mp3" target="_blank">audio file</a> directly.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://developers.google.com/nearby" target="_blank">Nearby Product Overview</a><br /> <br /> <b>Andrew</b>: <a href="http://google.com/+AndrewBunner">google.com/+AndrewBunner</a><br /> <b>Akshay</b>: <a href="http://google.com/+AkshayKannan">google.com/+AkshayKannan</a><br /> <b>Tor</b>: <a href="http://google.com/+TorNorbye">google.com/+TorNorbye</a><br /> <b>Chet</b>: <a href="http://google.com/+ChetHaase">google.com/+ChetHaase</a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/AndroidDevelopersBackstage/~4/iUGMhYpzbEo" width="1" />
