AdMob has added an advertising unit for Android applications. The first developers to leverage AdMob's new Android ad unit in their applications include AccuWeather, Jirbo, and TapJoy.

AdMob's new Android ad unit will also allow brand and performance advertisers to reach the rapidly growing base of consumers engaging with applications on their Android devices. Advertisers will be able to use these ad units to drive customer actions such going to the Android Market to download an application.
