HTC lets you Goggle their ads for a more immersive experience
Way back in November of 2010, Google announced a new partnership with five major companies that would be adding Google Goggles enabled content to advertisements. As brilliant as the idea was, the concept never really seemed to take off. Sure, you could find a Google Goggles enabled ad tucked inside a magazine every now and then, but Google's interactive...

Few mobile software titles see the success that Rovio's Angry Birds has seen, and the ad-supported free version for Android has seen over 7 million downloads already. With in-app purchase power called Bad Piggy Bank on the way, Rovio should be raking in the dough. If virtual must-have accessories don't do the trick for you (pig scarves?), perhaps an ad-free premium... Read more » Move over Vader, there’s a new Android rep in town
What do you get when you cross Marilyn Manson and Madonna? Android's latest spokesperson of course!

Can anyone out there think of a better way to start the campaign than to put Ms. Fox in a bathtub sending out pictures via BLUR? No? Then we are on the same page. The Superbowl ad most of you have seen by now... Read more » 2009 Android Advertising
2009 was a great year in advertising for the mobile industry. We saw everything from The Island of Misfit toys, a very creepy webOS multitasking blonde, Catherine Zeta Jones, and miracle banana diets on The Now Network to “an app for that”, a “map for that”, and more of Charles Barkley's Fave 5 (R.I.P.). Those are just some of the popular mobile tech... Read more »
