Welcome to the Android Police Week In Review - your source for the biggest Android stories of the week. Don't forget, you can catch a lot of these stories (and more) on our weekly podcast.
Carrier 411
- T-Mobile now has an unlimited data plan that is actually unlimited, as opposed to the limited unlimited data plans they still offer. There's an Eagles joke in here somewhere.
- AT&T has more LTE in more exciting places, like Bakersfield, California. Shudder.
Rumor Roundup
- An unknown HTC phone shows up on blurrycam, we speculate.
- A Nexus 7 with 3G might be coming. Or it might not.
- Someone at Sony probably got yelled at this week.
- Looks like even Verizon's getting the Note II, (and AT&T, and Sprint... and T-Mobile) so you know it's going to be big (I'm sorry).
Android at Arms
- Apple something Galaxy S III something something patents something something lawsuit.
Code Google
- Eric Schmidt says 1.3 million Android devices are now being activated per day, Skynet self-awareness imminent.
- Sony has released the binaries for the Xperia S, and given my knowledge on this sort of thing, I'm just imagining a bunch of little zeroes and ones being let out of a cage.
The Hotsheet

- The New Old Kindle Fire: It's newer, and better..er!
