and when you add "Google" to the search for Android on Yahoo groups, I find there is a nifty Android group up and running: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/AndroidUsers/ Not sure how I missed that both recently and last year when I checked. I kept turning up nothing except an andoriod fetish group. Go figure. The AndroidUsers group seems to be fairly well established and active, so I would consider recomending that. Perhaps I'll keep the "Android_OS" around as a fallback should a mass exodus from google groups ever be required... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
