Android Community Weekly: July 22nd, 2012

This past week was a pretty good one if you're a Nexus S owner, but not so good if you've been trying to get your hands on the Google Nexus 7. Google began sending out Android 4.1 Jelly Bean updates to Nexus S phones on select carriers Friday night, but unfortunately earlier in the week the company announced that it was having some trouble keeping 16GB Nexus 7 tablets in stock. As a result, the 16GB Nexus 7s now have an estimated delivery time of 3-4 weeks when shipping from the Google Play Store, so unless you're okay with picking up an 8GB model instead, you might be left waiting for a Nexus 7.

Here at Android Community we had another exciting and fun-filled week of Android news. The biggest part however was probably the end of the week where Google delivered a treat to many customers. The flagship Nexus 7 tablet started shipping out to all those patient (and some impatient) customers on Friday, but that's only some of the news. Head below for your weekly brief.

This week was all about the Galaxy S III here in the US. T-Mobile and AT&T both unleashed the flagship smartphone into the wild, although only in limited supply, and the masses can now enjoy Samsung's latest creation. Next week however will be all about Google I/O. By the end of next week we'll hopefully be talking about Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and beyond.

Another week of happenings for the best mobile platform around has come with some surprisingly good news. Courts have cleared Google of all wrongdoing in the long-awaited end to Oracle's patent trial, and HTC's EVO 4G LTE has been cleared through customs and away from the litigious hands of Apple's patents. Shipments are arriving to pre-orders now, with a little something extra. That's the best news you'll hear all week.

Another week gone in the Android world, but not quietly, at least if you live in the United States. Here your options for high-end Android devices have been severely curtailed, thanks (presumably) to Apple's ITC complaint against HTC, concerning one of their software patents. The HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE are both in customs limbo, though HTC has already worked around Apple's software patent. In related news, a Delaware court ordered the sparring companies to enter mediation in August.

It's been a big week in the Android world, mostly due to the CTIA wireless show in New Orleans. Naturally Android Community was there to cover it, and you can see all of our CTIA stories here. For a lighter look at the more important bits, check out our CTIA wrapup. Oh, and don't forget to enter our latest giveaway to celebrate the anniversary of NVIDIA's Tegra Zone. There was plenty of other stuff to catch your attention as well, so without further ado, let's get going.

Another week's gone past, and believe it or not, there are stories other than the Galaxy S III announcement to talk about. But we'll definitely be talking about that first. Android Community was present at Samsung's London event to bring you all the juicy details, which you can find in our wrap-up feature. Long story short: the Galaxy S III is big, powerful, crammed with custom software... and a little on the bland side as far as design goes.

Another week, another barrel full of Samsung Galaxy S III news - I mean Android coverage. Believe us, we're as tired of the torrent of leaks, teases and misinformation as you are - which is why we're much more excited to talk about the long-awaited reveal of Google Drive. We've got hands-on impressions and a comparison of competitors for you to enjoy. Also notable this week was Google's return to retail with the $399 GSM Galaxy Nexus on the Google Play Store, and another look at Project Glass courtesy of Charlie Rose.
