THE OUTLINE
Carrier 411
- T-Mobile is acquiring MetroPCS, but really, MetroPCS is acquiring T-Mobile, and Deutsche Telekom will be the majority shareholder, but it'll still be called T-Mobile, and the networks will be operated separately, but also together. Got it?
Rumor Roundup
- LG Optimus G Nexus: Yes, we're getting on board with this.
- 32GB Nexus 7 - need I say more?
Android at Arms
- Judge Koh lifts ban on Galaxy Tab 10.1. Now all you have to do is find a place to not buy one!
- Samsung v. Apple jury misconduct story 2252312.
- Samsung sold a lot of Galaxy S III's during some weeks after some things happened, because as we all know, correlation = causation. Period.
- Motorola wants to dismiss its own lawsuit against Apple. It's clearly a clever reverse psychology ploy!
Code Google
- Google Wallet has gained another carrier partner. But it's US Cellular, so, move along.
- Google needs to spend money to fix Motorola? Unbelievable!
- Android has bigger numbers than Apple's numbers.
The Hotsheet
- A bunch of HTC things happened this week, and most of them involve the One X+. Like AT&T getting it exclusively (dumbdumbdumb). And it having Sense 4+, because version numbers can now have mathematical function symbols! Oh, and I talked about all this because seriously HTC what are y ou doing.
- The One X and S are getting Jelly Bean this month. That's good.
- The Samsung Galaxy Camera is coming to AT&T, because a point and shoot camera with a monthly data plan attached to it will sell like crazy.
- Motorola updates its ICS timeline again, decides Atrix, Electrify, and Photon users are all ripe for pissing off.
- Device Updates: Transformer Pad Infinity, Galaxy S III (Sprint), Xperia Go / Sola / U, Pantech Burst, Droid Xyboard 8.2 (Verizon), Galaxy S Blaze 4G, Pantech Element.
App Updates
- PlayStation Mobile is now available for some devices, but if it's not compatible with yours, don't worry: it sucks.
In Other News
- Lightplay is a pico project with Android. Go look at it.
