Google Android Missing In Action At Top Mobile Show
The mobile world converges on Barcelona this week, but Google's (GOOG) Android mobile software is on the sidelines so far.
So far, we've seen plenty of attention around Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Mobile and Nokia's (NOK) Symbian. But beyond a leaked set of photos of a supposed Google-powered phone for Vodafone (VOD), we haven't heard much about Android.
PhoneScoop editor Eric Zeman, writing for InformationWeek:
Mobile World Congress 2009 was thought to be the real coming out party for Google's Android mobile platform. So far, it's a bust.
Nokia's new phones don't run Android. HTC also failed to announce any new Android gear. Instead it focused on announcing two new Windows Mobile 6.5 phones.
Samsung said that it will announce an Android phone sometime "this year." It didn't announce anything at this show.
