Android Pins

They’re back! Last year, at our Mobile World Congress debut, we designed a set of unique Android pins that capture the diversity and fun of the Android community.

Everyone enjoyed collecting them so much that we’ve designed a whole new set of pins with our Android Ecosystem partners for MWC 2012.

If you’re at MWC, you can collect all the pins by visiting the Android stand and exploring the rest of the Android community. Check out the Android Ecosystem Map to see where our partners are around the convention center.
