Google Android Missing In Action At Top Mobile Show
Silicon Alley Insider —
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.

But that may change shortly — at least for Europeans, as the G1’s successor, the G2, does appear to be just around the corner. ...
