Today GOOG exercised a PR event to push consumer demand for the Android OS phone. The OEM "breakthrough" story is being carried by MSM online and off. I'll not repeat it here. This reminded me of a :60 that began airing in the US about a month ago.

I don't watch MSM so it's all new to me.  After watching:

my burning question is ...

"Why would anyone care?"

Especially at at $3,799.75 over two years.

A notebook computer and cell phone will cost half that with triple the functionality.  

I don't get it.

Why would anyone care?

hmmm, lemme see... The business press game narrative is "GOOG Takes on iPhone." (One NYT article I'd the misfortune of reading contains many hilarious tactical absurdities engendered --if you will-- by JVs among the competitors. For example Schmidt "recusing" himself from numerous Apple board meetings.)

The paid-early-adopter narrative --valiantly dramatized in the spot-- is "GOOG is da bomb." (Manifould entendre intended.)

But the beauty of either story is, of course, the unsung moral, "You don't have to get it."

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
