Why does google need to advertise to end users? Most of the savvy ones already know about Android and the rest probably don't care what their phone runs as long

Why does google need to advertise to end users? Most of the savvy ones already know about Android and the rest probably don't care what their phone runs as long as it can do email, get map directions, etc.
If they are spending money on marketing, they are spending it on the handset manufacturers.
- Mark_B 17y agoExactly. I don't care what went into making my hot dog. I only care that it tastes good!!
- joezydeco 17y agoAlso, no carrier is going to advertise that their phones run the exact same system as another carrier's phone. Why give customers an easy reason to switch? There are half a billion Nokia users that have no idea what Symbian is.
- Zak 17y agoIf I'm Verizon and I'm selling the Motorola Sholes, I want my potential customers to know that the cool app they saw their friend using on a G1 last week also runs on the Sholes. The ads I've seen so far have been T-mobile, so maybe others will try to do that.
