THE OUTLINE

Carrier 411

Sprint's 4G LTE is headed to 100 cities "in the coming months." Because that leaves absolutely no room for disappointment.

Rumor Roundup

LG teases the Optimus G. That's mean.
ZTE Warp Sequent: because "sequel" sounded stupid.

Code Google

Google Wallet is discontinuing the prepaid Google card, and you have until October to use the balance. This could actually be the first time spending money proves challenging for me.

The Hotsheet

Motorola DROID RAZR M has launched, motorcycle-jumping-face-exploding action not included.
The Galaxy Note II is coming to AT&T and Verizon - prepare your hands.
You can opt out of the Kindle Fire ads for $15, if the minute chance of Fifty Shades Of Grey appearing on your lockscreen frightnes you that much.
The LG Escape: budget gets less depressing every week.
The Galaxy S Relay 4G is official, officially has one of the worst names we've seen in months.
And then there's the Galaxy Victory 4G LTE, which makes up for what it lacks in substance with upbeat buzzwords and fancy acronyms.
The Galaxy S III will get Jelly Bean as soon as October! ... In the UK. Gotcha.
Device updates: Nexus S 4G, Captivate Glide, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and Note 10.1, AMP1000

App Update

gReader is the best RSS reader on Android and don't you tell Cameron otherwise.
Chameleon got updated. I bet you didn't see that one coming.

In Other News

The iPhone 5 has some new features, which, conveniently, you may already be familiar with.
In a exciting development in the field of money-extracting technology, Amazon will soon let you buy physical goods with in-app purchases on the Kindle Fire.
CyanogenMod has announced the M-Series and that might be exciting to you.

Speaking of short people with Galaxy Notes. I travel to Asia quite a bit and I see this phone far, far more in Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong than I have in the US. I was on the MRT in Singapore and honestly I think the phone was bigger than the guy who was using it. For the record I'm 6' 6" and carry a Galaxy Nexus with a Nexus 7 for good measure.
