Seems everyone and his dog is working on a Google Android handset at the moment! The latest news is of a new Android phone being developed by Chinese laptop and PC manufacturer Lenovo.

As you can see from the pic, it certainly looks more like a phone than a Photoshop fake, so Lenovo are clearly working on something.

Google’s Open Handset Alliance (OHA), the group of technology and mobile companies that it set up around the Google Android mobile operating system, has just announced that it’s signed up another 14 companies who will “…either deploy compatible Android devices, contribute significant code to the Android Open Source Project, or support the ecosystem through products and services that will accelerate the availability of Android-based devices.”

Google must be jumping with delight at this news, at they’ve managed to bag some big names. Top of the list must come Sony Ericsson, who announced that they’re working on a new Google Android phone. Other big hitters include Toshiba (who we can only hope release an Android phone on some decent hardware, so that it’s not as appalling as their current range of Portege smartphones!), Vodafone, and, more interestingly, Sat-Nav company Garmin.

More details after the jump.

Sony Ericsson has just announced it’s joined the Open Handset Alliance and will develop a new mobile phone based on the Google Android operating system. There had been rumours about this for some time, but now it’s official, and 2009 should see the introduction of a new Sony Ericsson Android phone.

News just in – a second Android phone has just been announced to take on the T-Mobile G1. The new handset is called the Kogan Agora, which, as you can probably tell, doesn’t come from any of the major manufacturers. Kogan, it seems, are Australian, but they’ve beat most of the other manufacturers to market with an extremely handsome, and extremely well equipped, Android handset.

More details after the jump.
