Geek Dads are everywhere and they’re easy to spot. They’re the ones playing games or maybe talking about Star Wars or Star Trek while other guys are talking sports.

It’s an OS that is being used on a bunch of different phones, with a bunch of different phone makers, across a bunch of different mobile companies and they’re constantly working to make it better.
