Since becoming involved with the Android movement, we’ve seen some awesome and  knowlegable websites. This post will list them with brief descriptions that are worth following (sorted by website type):

Unique Niche Android Websites:

Android Tapp. Android Tapp is the best resource for Android App Reviews, Android App Ratings, Interviews with mobile app developers, News and Showcases. Eliminate the guess work when downloading Android Apps… know for sure! Offering infinate value alerting whether an Android App is worth paying for… or not :mrgreen:

Android Apps. Although they may be considered our only and direct competiton for Android App Reviews, we don’t mind mentioning them. The sister site of AppVee iPhone app reviews; they not only review Android Apps, but they offer YouTube video screencasts.

Droideo. Android Video website. Find all android videos from unboxing, sneak peak at new app/feature demos, phone hardware and more.

Cyrket. Developer Jay Freeman managed to create an extract of the actual Android App Market, once only viewable on the handset, now viewable on the web. The Android Application Browser features comments (yeah… even the idiotic comments), user ratings, app descriptions, and more.

News, Insight & Tips:

Android Guys. Blog that covers everything Android; news, reviews, interviews, Podcasts, etc. They even have an accessories store for your mobile gadgets.

Phandroid. Android Fans blog covering all things Android; breaking news, insights and reviews. See their forum below, Android Forums.

Google and Blog. Blog about Google and Android news, tips and insights.

LiveCrunch. Though a Tech blog, they do give a lot of attention to the Android OS, news and devices. Their motto is “KISS” (keep it simple stupid) with short bites of news and alerts.

Forums & Message Boards:

T-Mobile G1 (Android) forum. T-Mobile’s Official forum for all “How To…”, “Market Apps”, and “General Discussion and Feedback” topics. Vast information, discussion, praise and gripes.

TalkAndroid. Android news and insights blog. They also have a Forum which contributes to a huge Android Wallpaper repository.

Android Forums. Thousands of members and counting, discussing all things Android.

TmoNews Blog is the Unofficial source for all things T-Mobile, since T-Mobile has trademarked the “G1″ and became the first major wireless carrier to debut Android, their blog covers it as well. There is a Forum with thousands of members as well.

AndDev is a Forum for Android Developers by Android Developers. Get Android tutorials, tips, help, sample code or even hire a developer.

There are plenty more forums & message boards: T-Mobile G1 Forum, T-Mobile G1 Fans, G1 Forum, and Android Community.

Developer’s Blog:

Google Android Developers Blog. Google’s blog for Android Developers by Android Developers.

Big In Japan. Developers of the popular Android App ShopSavvy, offers news about the app roadmap as well as other Android advances.

Leading Mobile, Gadget and Tech Blogs:

This is a list of the larger well known blogs  that frequently write about Android, Android OS, Android Phones and Android Netbooks. TechCrunch’s family of tech related websites; CrunchGear & MobileCrunch. Gizmodo, Gigaom, and IntoMobile all cover Android often.

Wallpaper & Ringtones:

G1Wallz. Offers a lot of Wallpapers suited for the Android G1 screen size.

G1MP4. Offers free ringtones pre-sliced for the G1.

Well… That was more than 25 as there are some really awesome Android websites out there (sometimes difficult to narrow the list).

    Hello,
    To ease the job of adding the rss to a reader, I created the OPML file for some of the above links and added some my own (mainly coming from http://www.planetandroid.com/). This is basically my list in greader.

    You can find the oplm here (can not attach it to the comment):
    http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/478969/feedlist.opml

    Thx,
    Carl

    • Justin says:

      Thanks Carl!

      I just got the Evo and checked this site out precisely for its links to RSS feeds. I had to teach myself how to import OPLM files, but that turned out to be super easy.

      90% imported into MS Outlook ok!
      The following did not… ‘CodingRelic’, ‘AndroidDevlepers’, ‘Morridl’ and ‘SleepyDroid’. I don’t know why. Thought you could use the feedback.

      Thanks alot for the OPLM!

    • Taran says:

      theres one more to add on the list http://www.androidng.com

  2. Hey, don’t forget us! We’re just starting out, but we’ll be running full force soon with news and reviews of everything Android.
    http://www.theandroidsite.com

  3. Can’t believe you left http://www.g1-news.com off the list! Yeah, I’m biased because I write it…but still!

    My mum says I’m awesome.

  4. Dexter says:

    You have got to be kidding me…

    Any site that places their own site on a Top 25 list and doesn’t include xda-developers doesn’t deserve to run their own Android site.

    XDA-developers’ HTC Dream forum…a real dev site – http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=446

    • @Dexter Constructive critism is always welcomed. But your comment is a bit harsh. Either way, we’re not going to cry :mad: and shut down our website because of your statement. Dont worry, there’s aways “25 MORE Awesome Google Android Websites You Should Follow” blog post to come :wink:

    Br, Mikkel

  13. furniture stores says:

    This is a nice list you have put together for the android sites.

  14. Mike Falco says:

    Great listing of sites! If you have an android site, do not forget to join our toplist @ androidrankings.com . Our toplist is formatted to fit android devices and, for those of you who think toplists are so 1990, they work for mobile!

  15. Good list of sites! I’ve found another http://101bestandroidapps.com which is growing and improving fast, lots of traffic and interest.

  16. Mobiguy says:

    Hey, we’ve just added an Android section to our site at:
    http://www.syncpedia.com

    Includes news and software. It is still new but we will be adding a lot more soon!

  17. Hello. Forgive my rudeness and self-centred-ness, but I’ve just started up a UK/European Android site located at http://www.eurodroid.com – I hope you might find it of some interest. Thanks.

  18. Alster says:

    We’re been running a software reviews site for the Android platform for a few weeks now and it’s growing quite nicely. The URL is http://www.MeAndMyDroid.com/ and seems to fill a niche that others don’t cater to, IMHO.

  19. Ok, I’m a fan of http://www.androidsocialmedia.com but then again it’s my site.

  20. Max says:

    Downside is that most of these are not easy to read from Android phone itself. Here is a list of aroud 150 web sites optimised for viewing on Android phone which I’ve set as my start page.

  21. Brian says:

    Hi, my name is Brian (Big Lou), and I have created a new website called RootYourDroid.info. It is a website that helps even the least knowledgeable noobs root their Droid; all while educating them every step of the way.

    Started in December 2009, RootYourDroid.info has helped thousands of people with Root and hacking related procedures. We pride ourselves in helping even the least knowledgeable people.

    I just thought I’d let you know about the site seeing how many people are still bewildered by the root process.

    Thank you,
    Brian

Doing app reviews, phones, tips and more. We’ve only been live since April 28, and so far we are doing really good. Keep up the good work and thanks for post!

  38. Hi Android Tapp,
    I have recently bought a Android HTC Desire phone
    and I came across your excellent list.
    On the back of this, couple of days ago I recently set up my own blog outlining
    my personal best apps for android.

    Your site is just awesome.
    Thanks again
