[The Android Police Week In Review] The Biggest Android Stories Of The Week (4/15/12-4/22/12)

Welcome to the week in review - Android Police's weekly news roundup for all things Android and Android Police. Don't like reading? You can catch a lot of these topics on our weekly podcast, here, as well.

Hardware Reviews

The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, despite an absolutely tragically bad name, is a pretty cheap good tablet for doing tablety things (whatever those are).
The HTC One S for T-Mobile will make you fall in love with Android all over again. Unless you're a heartless bastard.
The Sony Walkman Z-Series PMP is basically 156 grams of pure sad.
The Zeemote makes tablet gaming suck less.
The Nocs NS200 earbuds sound pretty great, and they're made of aluminum, which is neat.

Carrier 411

Verizon is going on an LTE blitzkrieg around the nation, giving lots of people moar gees in moar places.
T-Mobile has decided Carly would be much more appealing in pink leather pants, but forgot to actually make their marketing campaign, you know, good.
Sprint has officially laid the EVO 3D to rest.

Rumor Roundup

A crash log spills the [jelly] beans on the next version of Android, which we all pretty much know is called Jelly Bean, but hey, this looks legit.
Is the Galaxy Note headed to T-Mobile? I'd think it'd be pretty easy to see it coming.

Code Google

Google just signed MGM to Play Store Movies, bringing titles like Terminator and Robocop to Android. Oh, I see what they did there.
Google Drive rumo - *zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*.
The Play Store just launched a phone support line, which will probably lead to some confused customers of this company.

The Hotsheet (device news)

The Sprint Galaxy Nexus is coming on April 22! And it's sold out, which is going to do great things for Sprint's super-robust 3G network.
Sprint announced the LG Optimus Elite, which I heard has taken the award for "Saddest Phone Of The Year," mostly because everyone on the judging panel just killed themselves.
A lot of Sprint things just came out today.
The Transformer Pad 300 is up for preorder, and hey look, we found it without ever using GPS!
The One X is coming to AT&T May 6th, and let's face it, it's going to be the best Android phone on the market when it does. You can pre-order it, too.
Two large chunks of plastic and screen are now available for you to throw your money at. They're called the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (... Plus Super Deluxe 8675309 and this joke has now fully derailed) and the Transformer Pad 300.
A whole bunch 'o HTC phones can now go S-Off, and if that doesn't make you feel sexy and dangerous about owning a myTouch 4G Slide, I don't know what will.
Device Updates: Acer A100/500, HTC ThunderBolt, RAZR and RAZR MAXX, DROID 4, LG Spectrum, GSII, Casio G'Zone.

App and Game Roundups

34 best new Android apps and live wallpapers (4/8-4/21).
40 best new Android games (4/6-4-19).
10 best new Android tablet apps (3/24-4/18).

App Update

QuickOffice launches QuickOffice Connect, a really expensive cloud service for really stupid people to spend their unneeded money.
Read It Later is now Pocket and totally free, and that's probably so they can take money from you again later. Yay capitalism!
Chrome for Android now has UA switching, so the, *ahem*, special websites on the internet will stop giving you their useless mobile pages.
Motorobo is an Android desktop management client and it's pretty and I just can't bring myself to even care enough to write a joke about it.
AirTerm is a floating Android terminal app. NEEERRRRRDS!

Developer News

Sony is willing to lend developers its handsets fo' free. Good idea on paper, until they get them back covered in Cheeto dust, the world's only known permanent dye.
ADT was updated to version 20, and updates are good. At least that's what I hear from a number of people with beards.
