THE OUTLINE

T-Mobile is acquiring MetroPCS, but really, MetroPCS is acquiring T-Mobile, and Deutsche Telekom will be the majority shareholder, but it'll still be called T-Mobile, and the networks will be operated separately, but also together. Got it?

Rumor Roundup

LG Optimus G Nexus: Yes, we're getting on board with this.

THE OUTLINE

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.

[The Android Police Podcast] Episode 24: My Dad's Better Than Your Dad

Posted by David Ruddock in Podcast

The Android Police Podcast: for those times when listening to 5 guys yammer about technology is more appealing than reading. This week, we're talking Galaxy Note 10.1, with special guest Ron Amadeo. I also get really frustrated at the idea of an Android-powered camera.

THE OUTLINE

Carrier 411

Sprint is giving away ZTE Optiks to people who buy new phones. We'd probably just say no, thank you. They'll also give you a $100 AMEX gift card.
Verizon is bringing LTE to 34 new markets and expanding in a boatload of others, and I've probably typed this headline in one form or another several dozen times at this point.

AT&T wants you to sign on with its new Mobile Share plans. But it won't make you. Yet.
Sprint's LTE network made a blip in the SF Bay Area, and yes, that apparently warrants its own story.

[Update: Officially Dead And Gone] Google Listen Quietly Pulled From The Play Store, Previous Users Can Still Find It

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Applications, News

Listen, the relatively popular, if neglected, podcast app from Google has been surreptitiously pulled from the Play Store recently. It's unclear just how long ago Google pulled it (though it appears to be within the last week or so), and users are looking everywhere for it. There is also no indication on what Google has planned for it from here on out. We've reached out to Google for comment but have not heard back as of publication. For users who have previously installed the app, you can still find the Play Store listing here. Everyone else, however, will see the familiar 404 landing page:

Update: Google just issued a statement on the official Google Blog:

We launched Google Listen through Google Labs in August 2009, to give people a way to discover and listen to podcasts.

[The Android Police Podcast] Episode 21: Buffering You Into Purgatory

Posted by David Ruddock in Podcast

Welcome back to another week of the Android Police Podcast. I have to open this post with a bit of an apology, as our attempts to get the live show rolling this week were thwarted at every turn by technical gremlins - we should be up and running again next week, though. You can still listen to this week's episode in its full, recorded glory, though.

Republic Wireless is ready to take on some new customers - so if you want to spend less in order to have both a crappy phone and a crappy network, now's your chance to feel good about yourself.

[The Android Police Podcast] Episode 20: Willy Wonka And The Crack Factory

Posted by David Ruddock in Podcast

The Android Police Podcast apologizes for our non-liveness this week, but hey, you can hear to what we said anyway while no one was listening. This week we're talking Apple v. Samsung, Samuel L. Jackson's apartment building, and how much we hate Kansas City / want to move there.
