I picked up a recent copy of Rolling Stone magazine which carried a double page ad for the MyHero3G ‘phone from T-Mobile [the HTC Hero in the UK]. The ad, like the TV ad [at the bottom of the page] promotes the fact it is ‘with Google’ but makes no mention of the Android brand nor does it include branding of the Android. Is this a concious decision by Google to not promote the brand?

Similary, there is a full page ad for the Droid which carries no Google branding at all. Is Android not a selling point?

As a side note, the copy of Rolling Stone also included two ads for the iPhone [one solus for Rhapsody, one for AT&T and apps]

On a total side note, try www.google.com/android – nothing there!
