The Android Overload is the place where we stash all of the stories/articles/news bits that didn’t make it onto our illustrious front page. But, just because they weren’t featured doesn’t mean they aren’t worth taking a look at. In fact, there’s almost always a little something here for everyone, so take a look around and let us know if you find any gems. Oh, and I already posted the warning below but you may wanna stay away from the comment section of that Apple Insider article. That is, unless you wanna rage. Night, folks.
