For the past 3 years there has been one constant in our lives: Android. And this week is no different as Jason Howell, Huyen Tue Dao, Florence Ion and Ron Richards celebrate three years of Android Faithful with a barrage of news from all the manufacturers along with a fair share of drama and disappointment. You know, the typical Android roller coaster of emotions.
