We have another dose of the Android Overload here for you tonight. These are the stories that made it past our desks today, but for whatever reason, didn’t manage to make it onto our illustrious front page. No worries, before we toss them into the bin, we figured you let you guys give them a final once over. I found LG’s push to get Unity games up on their Google TV televisions to be most interesting. Can’t help but wonder if an Android powered gaming console could arrive sometime in the near future with Kinect like functionality.
