Greetings, Phandroids. We’re officially wrapping up our work day here at the Phandroid offices, but before we leave you, we thought we’d give you a few more late night treats to have you snacking through the night. Because so many Android-related articles come past our desks, it’s impossible to feature them all on our front page. Thankfully, we’ve created the Android Overload for you guys to keep up-to-date with all the Android happenings around the world. So dig in and if you find an interesting article/s, leave your thoughts below. Night, guys.

I've been obsessed with consumer technology for about as long as I can remember, be it video games, photography, or mobile devices. If you can plug it in, I have to own it. Preparing for the day when Android finally becomes self-aware and I get to welcome our new robot overlords.

  1. Your slacking, PadFone officially released. And it is officially my next purchase.

    1. dude who cares ? stop boasting aboat the stupid “padfone” and get it we dont care

      1. Sorry, I was kind of joking. I just thought with all the hype that there would be coverage on it the minute the release event happened.

  2. Because of it’s ratio, I thought the Vu would be getting iOS 6

    1. o_O
      Why?

  3. Whoa, so 4.2 is legit? *happy dance*
    But wait… It’ll probably be until next year until I see the update on my Evo LTE… *sadness*

  4. You can always count on American Greed

  5. Let’s get an ics update for phandroid

  6. @Patrick

    +1 W/a cache clean upon exit option,which is on the PHANDROID NEWS app.

  7. Very nice article. keep up the good work.

  8. Dear LG, I want to start by saying F U. and I would like to thank you for NOT supporting the Spectrum. LG is a joke. and everyone should avoid this manufacture. only 1 gingerbread update since January 2012.

  9. The LG link goes to a page in KOREAN?! Very useful…

    1. If you’re using Chrome, it will auto translate for you. You ARE using Chrome, aren’t you? Well… aren’t you!? O_O

  10. Two things I won’t be buying anytime soon: A phone made by LG and ANYTHING made by Archos.
