Since we couldn't possibly (want to) cover all the stuff that goes down there individually, we've gathered up an exhaustive listing of every phone and / or tablet getting the stamp of approval over the last week. Enjoy! Continue reading FCC Fridays: April 13, 2012 FCC Fridays: April 13, 2012 originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 13 Apr 2012 15:39:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
