Only a few months ago, in March, I wrote a post called Why is Android Stalled? It's hard to believe how much momentum the open source mobile operating system has gathered since then. The past couple of weeks have included a number of new milestones for Android, including promising new smartphones based on it, and an update to the operating system itself that adds several notable features. Here are the details.

JKOnTheRun has a couple of interesting Android-related items up today. First, at the Mobilize 09 conference that GigaOm is putting on on September 10th in San Francisco, Motorola?s co-CEO Sanjay Jha will be launching the company's Android portfolio of smartphones during his keynote. And, yes, the company has a portfolio of Android phones to announce. Second, you can take a look at one of two new Android-based tablet devices that ARCHOS has in the works. It looks to be a touchscreen, video-centric device, and there are several photos of it here. As we've been reporting, Android is really picking up steam.
