If you weren’t already worried about someone eavesdropping on your email, a legal briefing from Google’s lawyers might raise your ears. Not only is the NSA thumbing through your messages, but according to Google’s attorneys, Gmail users should have “no legitimate expectation of privacy.”
Motorola has said that the Moto X will start shipping later this month and in early September, but we haven’t heard any concrete dates until now. Word on the street is that AT&T and Sprint will start carrying the Moto X first on Friday, August 23rd, followed by Verizon on Thursday, August 29th.
Droid Life has heard about these dates from sources, and Android Central has provided leaked inventory from Best Buy that supports the proposed Verizon date.
AT&T selling first makes sense given that Motorola has an exclusive launch partnership with the carrier for its Motor Maker website. Moto X buyers on AT&T will be able to customize their device through the website with different color and engraving options before anyone else.
No word on when, or if, T-Mobile will carry the Moto X.

Over the last few years we’ve seen Apple’s competition start to really take it to Cupertino in TV ads. Sometimes it seems petty but according to Samsung’s marketing chief, Arno Lenior, the tsunami of ads mocking Apple fans were a huge boon for the company.
In an interview with AdNews, Samsung’s Lenior says that the ads were brilliant because they got Apple fanboys and Samsung fans to bash with one another over which beloved “brand” is better:
LG announced its ultra-affordable extra small entry-level Android smartphone, the Optimus L1 II, last week and today we have confirmation that it’s heading to Three U.K., from where it is expected to launch “soon.”
The new Nexus 7 has quickly become the hottest Android-powered tablet available, combining high-end specifications with a very attractive price tag. But the super slate hasn’t been without its fair share of problems since it went on sale late last month. In addition to a pesky GPS issue, it appears the device’s 1080p display doesn’t like multitouch input.
