If you checked out Google today (statistics say you probably have) then you may have noticed that the company is doing something out of the norm.

Just what you say? Well check out the above image and you’ll notice that they are advertising the recently launched Motorola DROID right on the front page.

I’m sure Verizon will be reaping the benefits of this.

What you see above is a new Palm Pre ad released by Canadian carrier Bell. Featured in the video is ‘Bradley’ who goes around meeting various Canadian athletes but not before taking a couple of shots at America.

First and foremost one of the first things Bradley says is, “Unlike our neighbors to the south, Canadians are an active people.” Throughout the ad there are a few more subtle insults, but nothing too gruesome.

Anyways, the ad does a great job showing consumers that the Palm Pre is your go anywhere, do anything device, from a camera and games to a calender and email. But wait, pretty much every handset phone out there can do those 4 things now, right?

Only joking, Palm, don’t hurt me.

If one of Amazon’s recent patent filings is anything to go by, there are ad-supported Kindle eBooks in the works.

This is by no means a breakthrough filing, but instead may allow publishers to offer their books for a cheaper price or perhaps earn a bit of extra revenue on their already downloaded eBooks.

As you can see from the above diagram, the general outlook looks about the same as that of a normal ad-supported website with banner advertisements on both the top and sides of the content.

It seems our buds over at Boy Genius Report have gotten their hands on a peice of Verizon Wireless promotional material that clearly states the BlackBerry Tour will hit the carrier on July 12th for $199.99 after a 2yr contract.

There’s really no telling if the advertisement if real or not as Verizon hasn’t released any official statement but it looks pretty legit to us.

Anywho, if you’re anticipating this phone mark July 12th on your calender just in case. Better safe than sorry, right?

Let the sparks fly — As you can see above Sprint’s latest advertisement for their highly sought after Palm Pre has set its eyes on Apple.

Not only does it entice users into switching from the iPhone to the Palm Pre instead of an iPhone 3GS but the Pre itself is resteda gainst a half eaten apple, clearly a direct shot at Apple. Sure this is funny but it’s very doubtful Apple will just stay on the sidelines and take this.

Let’s see what the Cupertino, California based Apple can fire back at Sprint.

What? You didn’t think Nokia would let their flagship handset hit the market without generating any buzz, did you? Well it looks like the company has contracted rapper LL Cool J to record what Engadget calls a “hilariously aggressive ad”. In other words, an ad that features the phone along with background hip-hop music and flashy text.

Sure the N97 is a great handset touting just about every feature you could ever ask for but I don’t know how much LL Cool J’s “don’t call it a comeback” advertisement made me want to purchase said handset. You know, maybe if they lowered the $699 asking price LL Cool J’s words would stick in my mind a bit more. Hey, just a thought.

Microsoft has been known for some colorful TV advertisements, especially those garnered towards Vista, but I think they are really onto something with the above Bing ad.

Recently released to, obviously, market their revamped and re-engineered search engine, Bing’s first TV ad focuses on taking all of the fuss and confusion (I didn’t know there way any?) out of using an online search engine.

They are obviously targeting Google with their whole “no more search overload” slogan so let’s see how this ad has an impact on which search engine users decide to use.

To most iPhone and iPod Touch owners, seeing ads is nothing new. But apparently there is something different about this ad from i.TV. i.TV 1.4 includes a dedicated menu tab for Comcast subscribers, the world’s first “shakable” advertisement, AT&T U-verse listings and major performance improvements.

“Along with efforts to make i.TV faster and more stable, i.TV 1.4 includes a special menu tab for Comcast subscribers with information about video-on-demand offerings,” said i.TV CEO, Brad Pelo. “Yes, i.TV is a movie, DVD and TV guide for the iPhone and iPod touch, but it is also a hub where media companies can directly interact with their customers.”

i.TV has also integrated services from companies like TiVo and Netflix in order to connect users with their favorite media providers. With the release of i.TV 1.4, i.TV users now have instant access to Comcast video-on-demand listings.

i.TV is a free download for the iPhone and iPod touch, available exclusively in the US and Canada from the iTunes Store.

If you happen to receive a certain plug or advertisement on your cell phone, you can be sure that the Atomic Blue Sender Software is responsible for it. Mobile marketing is touted as the new age of marketing for businesses and with this newly developed software from AtomPark Software, you can be sure that companies will start investing in it to build market awareness via the growing population of mobile phone users.

Of course, the Bluetooth connection must be enabled on phones. While some user have played it safe by turning it off (for security reasons against viruses), the probability of being sent advertisements via mobile technology is to be expected.

When Bluetooth-enabled devices are in range of the broadcast, the Atomic Blue Sender application (constantly scanning for such devices) finds the ones with Bluetooth set to discoverable and sends information to all of them. All you have to do is to add the files containing that information.

But again, the thing is that the Bluetooth connectivity of phones within range must be turned on. Also, users have to open it to see it.
