By The Android Overload is where we feature the biggest news stories from throughout the day (see above video), as well as stash all of the stories/articles/news bits that didn’t make it onto our 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 anything of interest.

Xperia ZL with AWS support? Hmm…. lol
No glass back? Looks more fat :(
It LOOKS more fat from the pictures, but really, just has a slight curvature to it. It’s still quite thin, but the Z is just stupid thin. Lol
I got to play with em at CES. The ZL really is much nicer to hold than the Z. And I’ve had enough phone screens break on me to be way too skeptical of a glass back. The camera shutter button is awesome, as is the front camera. All the Z has going for it over the ZL is waterproofe’d-ness, and while it’s awesome, the price you pay for that are the freakin annoying flaps over all the ports.
Yeah, it’s definitely one of the sexiest Android devices ever.
*Scratches Chin* Hmmm.
I just like the enclosed look of the Z, but I have yet to mess with the ZL. Only time will tell. I do want one of them though lol.
Don’t forget, the ZL has smaller bezels on the front. Freakin’ Android, man.. Too many choices! :p
Sony has always been great about bezels. I mean, the Xperia T is smaller than many 4.3″ phones and it has a 4.55″ screen!
Chris, are you more length or girth ? ;)
I… I…….. neither ._.
Scumbag Twitter.
That’s it. I’m done with Twitter. TweetDeck is my lifeline and all other clients cannot compare. This on top of Twitter’s bullyish stance towards independent developers ? Kiss my ass.
Gah, it sucks because if I had to choose, I’d pick Twitter over all other social networks. I hate how it has to be like this :/
