Android Mobiles

Engadget is having their 2009 Engadget Awards and Android is making a case in many categories. Unfortunately, for bothh Gadget of The Year and Smartphone Of The Year the Motorola Droid is 2nd to the iPhone 3GS – BLEH! Time to rally the troops!

Head on over to Engadget 2009 Awards and VOTE FOR THE DROID wherever you see it present. Show your Android love and lets see if we can move the needle at all. Interesting sidenote: the Droid is DOMINATING for GPS Device of the year – pretty awesome considering its a phone!

I don’t usually make these types of posts but hey – Jason mailed me and requested we pool together the Android love and I couldn’t resist the idea. Thanks Jason!

Google just added the Near Me Now feature to their mobile searches – but only for Android and iPhone users. Now Google Mobile gives you popular image results during your search from your handset. Under the search box, you will now see some of the top popular corresponding images along with a link to “Browse Popular Images”. Following the link will open a categorized list of image searches and related images.

Seems like one more minor improvement but when added with all the other small improvements the growth seems pretty vast. Any ideas as to what Google Mobile will introduce next?
