The Android Momentum Continues

In recent weeks, the Android operating system has seen tremendous, encouraging? momentum. After the Mobile World Congress show took place earlier this year, with very little Android news of any kind there, some speculated that the open source operating system might be an outright failure.? Now, though, there are signs of interest in Android from the number two personal computer manufacturer in the world, new forks of the operating system arriving, and lots of new Android smartphones on deck. GigaOm has a summary of the past week's important Android headlines, including the possibility of a new Android tablet device, and we've been on the Android watch as well.?



Android, Minus the Phones

The other day we mentioned in this post that there may be more momentum gathering around implementations of Google's Android platform on non-phone hardware. Today, both ZDNet and apcmag.com are discussing a more laptop-friendly version of Android, dubbed Cupcake. Also, folks have already demonstrated the efficacy of putting Android on netbooks with two experimenters putting it on an Asus Eee PC in under four hours. This trend is going to continue.
