Happy Tuesday, everyone. We had a lot of big Android news filling our day and no matter how hard we try, there are always some stories that manage to slip through the cracks — or just plain don’t make the cut. The ones we deem worthy of another look, we place here, in the Android Overload. This is the one place you can turn to (either before you go to bed, or when you wake up) when you don’t want to miss a beat on the wonderful world of Android. Have at it.

When verizon said the galaxy nexus was an exclusive, i think it was actually a misunderstanding with their marketing reps, what they actually said was “excluded”– in that the world would get the nexus “excluding” North America.
Nice vz, buy the rights to everyone’s hopes and desires, promise them, but never deliver…Did I wake up to the first level of hell, where VZ runs the place; you hate them more and more each day, but there is no alternative. The hell scenario actually would explain alot.
Nice.
The one article I was interested in (Galaxy Nexus in Japan) doesn’t seem to be listed here despite it being in the headline? Am I just blind as a bat?
It’s the 4th article.
“Time Warner Cable TV app now available for Android.”
Sweetness, thanks for this one!
Unfortunately doesn’t work on Nexus S :( blast!
That “Friends and counting” label should say “Friends Remaining”.
Galaxy Nexus is turning into the GS2. By the time it is released in the U.S. I won’t want it anymore.
I WANT THE GALAXY NEXUS AT&T! So hurry the fck up and get it
