It looks like this could be the final post from yours truly here in the Android Overload. In an effort to further bring you — our readers — new and exciting original content from the world of Android, we’ll be transitioning Android Overload to a weekly Friday feature. As usual it will wrap up the week’s big stories and share some stuff that flew under the radar. The purpose of this change is to spend more of our time and effort into other avenues, like more app reviews, featured content, discussions, and so forth.

Since Phandroid has always been a team effort – through our team of writers and community feedback – we’re curious how you feel about this change. If you feel like this nightly column has been a resource to you, we wanna hear your thoughts. If there are specific things you would rather see, let us know. Android Overload: kill it or keep it?
