Amazon has announced
Kindle for Android
this morning and I've already signed up to be notified when it releases. Yes, I have an iPhone, but I don't use AT&T (so, it functions as a iPod Touch). I've been thinking of upgrading my phone to one of the newer Android selections and I'll definitely make a switch when this is available (now, just to choose which Android phone to get). From following the Kindle forums, this has been the most requested for Kindle App in recent months (the Palm and a few others get mentioned now and then, but Android phone users, followed by Mobile Windows users have really been feeling left out).
