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):
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.

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.
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.

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):

Thx,

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
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.
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
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
Dont forget about me, not the biggest or the best….but worthy im sure

Great resource, much appreciated. thanks. and this includes all those who mentioned resources that were not listed.
Loved Part 2 and this piece is awesome as well.
Hi,
I just started a Android news site http://www.MyAndroidNewz.com … I hope it will one day be on the list
Br, Mikkel
This is a nice list you have put together for the android sites.
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!
Good list of sites! I’ve found another http://101bestandroidapps.com which is growing and improving fast, lots of traffic and interest.
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!
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.
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.
Ok, I’m a fan of http://www.androidsocialmedia.com but then again it’s my site.
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.

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
