Personally, I both love and despise April Fool's day. On one hand, it is a lot of fun, but on the other, it makes me waste entirely too much time trying to see as many jokes as I can and then figure out which stories are real and which ones are not. Alas, such is life, and April 1st will keep coming every year (at least until 2012 :-S), so we'll just roll with it and link the best Android-related trolls of the day.

Reddit /r/android flips to the dark side
Something is definitely off today at /r/Android/ - can you see what it is?
You will never guess what happened to /r/iphone
Gmail Motion
Gmail now, Android soon?
Paul O'Brien is going to RIM
Blackberry time for MoDaCo founder?
Denny's got your back with a bacon-scented app
It's pretty easy, actually - just rub some bacon on your phone. Or get Danny's new app.
There's an app for that
And believe me when I say it is foolish.
Atlassian introduces The Angry Nerds
With a playable game too - it's just a tad less smooth than Angry Birds. Just a tad.
Google loves kittens - and shares that love with Android owners
Google Search "kittens" on your Android device.
blackmanx announces a 12MP Android 3.2 device
The usually credible Verizon tipster goes overboard with an Android 3.2 device and a whole poem for it.
For those that have waited till the hype hangover abated
Do I have a treat for you….
Cores numbering twice with nary a skin on device
I give you the device that’s pure,
A 12 mp shooter on rear and 2mp in front, it’s clear this device will be the cure…
A High Def Screen will make all your media dreams, seem like they have come true
Data speeds aplenty and SVDO on the platter will let you talk and surf anew…
Skype on deck for all that want to Sextext
Or is it Google video chat you’ll select?
It’s open so you can choose…
A screen that’s massive for widescreen fragments of an OS dipped in Honey…
This device is well worth the money..
When will I have it you ply?
To that a Panda replies….
check the tags my friends.. for this info is akin to that which is most secret
Swype presents Thynk
Big Fish Games introduces the PlayWrite tablet
Who said tablets had to be expensive? [BigFishGames]
Droid-Life has the scoop on the iPhone 5
And it comes with many geebez and wifeez.
AndroidSwag sells out to Apple
What is this aye foun?
HootSuite rips off Angry Birds with... you guessed it - owls
Except they're not angry at all.

Do a search on Google for Comic Sans and see what happens.
Haha, nice. Not Android related, but funny.
Works if you search for "Helvetica" too.

Lots of great jokes there, though not really mobile-related.
http://www.thinkgeek.com has their usual round of joke items. Angry Birds and iPhone products in there.
