NXT-Ready Goodies for Google Android

Name of Model: N/A
Created by various Googlers in their "20%" time
Found at: http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2010/12/android-stretches-its-legs-errr-wheels.html and http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2010/12/robot-hackathon-connects-with-android.html
Details: Naturally, pretty much everyone who has heard of Google's "Android" platform has been disappointed that it's not even remotely related to the android-style robots it has taken its name from. Recently, they've been working on making it easier for robotics hobbyists to use the Android platform with various popular robotics platforms - including the NXT. Since these are text heavy already (and you can browse through the links above to read about this at whatever level of depth you'd like), I'll leave it at that - start browsing at the links above for the news on the new App Inventor and Cellbots for Android.
