Google Advertises Motorola Droid on its Home Page

Motorola Droid

In addition to celebrating the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street by placing Burt and Ernie where its Doodles would be, Google started promoting the new Motorola Droid, which launched today from Verizon Wireless (also available for purchase at Best Buy).
Note the blue button in the upper right-hand corner. What does that look like to you? That’s right. It looks like a software download button, similar to the ones we’ve seen for Google Chrome or Google Sidewiki. It actually takes you to the Verizon Wireless Droid splash Web page. The link under it takes you to another Droid page that’s hard on the eyes.

Matt McGee over at Search Engine Land, whom I’ll credit for pointing this out, asks whether or not this is an advertisement for Motorola and the Droid phone.

I say: Hell yeah, Matt! Though I’d argue the emphasis is more on Verizon Wireless and the Droid than Motorola. But no matter. Journalists are scribbling madly about how the Droid will single-handedly save Motorola. It can and will, if people buy it.

Google, too, has high hopes for the Droid, the first phone to feature its Android 2.0 operating system build and feature the Google Maps Navigation GPS service.
