Here’s our weekly summary of Android-related news stories we missed or quite frankly couldn’t summon up the energy to pretend to be enthusiastic about.
Because despite appearances, we do try to exercise bit of quality control about what we bung up here…
Rumor: Palm May Ditch WebOS for Android
In which a kid on an internet forum fooled the tech world with a pretend “memo” from Palm. You didn’t fool EuroDroid, BUDDY.Chinese mobile firm drops Google
Frankly, China’s so far away we’re not even 100% convinced it even exists.PayPal to extend ‘bump’ paying to Android, BlackBerry
Honestly, who on earth is ever likely to transfer money using their phones and Paypal, and a stupid system in which you “bump” your expensive phone into someone else’s expensive phone? Well done to Paypal for getting everyone to write news about it, though.

That’s a good point – were Apple and Microsoft even there?Motorola responds to the Droid Android 2.1 update delay
Did anyone think Motorola might be able to get an update out on time? Certainly no one in Europe did.Kyocera back with a smartphone

Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
