Ausdroid, or Android Australia, was founded by Buzz Moody in March 2010 and was inspired by his love for everything Android. Since the site was launched we have gained popularity within the online community. Ausdroid is run by a big ol’ team of people, and supported by a variety of news sources throughout the industry and across the world.

Ausdroid is proudly brought to you by the team below. We also thank our principal sponsors MobiCity (providers of review devices and discount devices) and Charles Sturt University (who’s advertising funds some of our activities).
