 It seems that Mobile World Congress in Barcelona will be full of Android news (even new SDK is promised to be released there)

British chip designer ARM (ARM.L: Quote, Profile, Research) will demonstrate a prototype of Google Inc’s (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Android mobile phone platform in action next week at the world’s biggest wireless fair, a source close to the company said.

It was not immediately clear on Thursday what the working model that ARM plans to show at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona would look like or who would supply the parts.

Google plans to deploy phones and services using the Android platform commercially in the second half of this year.

 Research firm Strategy Analytics has estimated that Android will be in 2 percent of smartphones this year.

What really surprised me is new market data. 2% of smartphones! This is more than current iPhone installed base. I personally feel this is an exaggeration but I might be underestimating the momentum.
