The Android-loving Open Handset Alliance says it's added 14 more members, bringing its total to 47 companies.
Of course it's only produced one phone so far, the iPhone's leagues ahead, and the crummy economy is expected to hurt even cell phone sales, but this is a matter of covering multiple bets and seeing what shakes out.
The new members are AKM Semiconductor, ARM, Asustek, Atheros Communications, Borqs, Ericsson, Garmin International, Huawei Technologies, Omron Software, Softbank Mobile, Sony Ericsson, Teleca AB, Toshiba, and Vodafone.
They are either going to deploy Android devices, contribute code to the Android Open Source Project, or support the ecosystem with products and services that are supposed to accelerate the availability of Android devices.
Sony Ericsson, Asus, Garmin, and Huawei say they will turn out handsets. LG, Motorola, Samsung, and Toshiba are already pledged and HTC's actually got one on the market.
