There are a couple of new resources about Android mobile. A community for Android developers has been set up called http://www.androiddeveloper.com which aims to be a hub for developers using the platform.
Another site called http://www.androidmobileforum.com has been set up for everyone to discuss anything about Android mobile.
Hopefully these will be useful as Android becomes more popular and is talked about more.
