I don't recall there ever being much branding effort on Android. Perhaps there is less today, I won't try to argue that, but from the start it was the HTC G1 with Google. Manufacturers have never wanted to embrace the Android brand as that turns them into mere part assemblers. The only time I see Android brand being used is on low-end phones where they want to get the point across that it is backed by a good ecosystem.
Here's the Nexus One sites, also no Android to speak of: http://web.archive.org/web/20100319002511/http://www.google.com/phone http://web.archive.org/web/20100319002511/http://www.google....
- mimiflynn 14y agoI got a little Android wind-up walking green robot at a conference... seemed like that little green robot was on everything for a while. I feel like they worked on the brand just enough and then, when their experiment was sucessful, they decided to go ahead and bring the product into the fold. If Android had failed, it would be easy to forget (for the general public, not for devs or techies) that it was even part of Google.
