It is kind of nice to see Android, or at least Android phones getting the spotlight in television commercials. The latest carrier to feature and Android phone is Sprint with the HTC Hero.
And unlike the slightly strange Droid commercials from Verizon, the Sprint commercial seems a little more down to earth mentioning the “customizable HTC Hero with Google.” I like how they tossed in the “with Google” to make it seem more appealing. They also mention that there are lots of available apps.
Additionally that same commercial also highlighted the Palm Pre and BlackBerry Tour which were described as being able to run “multiple apps” and offering the ability to “call from anywhere” respectively.
