Hi, My understanding is that Google (as a brand) doesn't really do any external advertising for their own products, well apart their own search ads and a few billboards.
See for example - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21295728 I think this is more a proposition for the resellers/retailers of android based products and the OHA for android in general. But then what -is- the point or benefits of advertising an OS to the general public ? Nil I think, how many Symbian ads have you seen on TV lately...
