What, you didn’t have your celebrity Android fix for the day? Well, here you go. George Clooney was in Malibu this week filming a smartphone commercial and just so happened to have a Galaxy Nexus on him. We are going to go ahead and assume it wasn’t a commercial for the G-Nex since they blacked out the Samsung logo on it, but thought we’d share anyway. I wonder if it’s running 4.0.4? AOKP maybe? LTE or unlocked? How does George roll?

Now, back to the NBA Playoffs or a beer or kimchi tacos or your son’s baseball game or whatever it was you were doing for the evening.

George Clooney Kicks It With a Galaxy Nexus in New Commercial is a post from: Droid Life

In the March edition of Details, they recommended a bunch of phones that don’t begin with an “I” and we couldn’t help but smile at all of the Android options.  Of course, we loved seeing the Thunderbolt, but also took notice that they left out Skype and 8-device hotspot features which we know have been fueling the delay controversy lately.  Oh, and another 2-page ad showed up directly after.  Just wanted to share…

Details Mag Recommends HTC Thunderbolt, Atrix 4G and Nexus S is a post from: Droid Life

March’s magazines started showing up on doorsteps today and inside, our readers are finding all sorts of Thunderbolt and XOOM ads.  We found some earlier in the day from the SI Swimsuit Issue, but now we have more from Esquire, Popular Mechanics and Popular Science.  I’m sure you can find more in Rolling Stone and a variety of other publications, so feel free to post those in the comments should you run into them.  No dates given on any of them.

Announcement, please.  I’d really like for next Thursday to be epic.  

Cheers MJ, @slyty71, and @sam_thomas!

More XOOM and Thunderbolt Ads Pop Up in Esquire, Popular Science and Popular Mechanics is a post from: Droid Life

One of the difficult parts of this job is doing things like heading to the local market to pick up the brand new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and fondle it flip through it while looking for ads for the latest pieces of technology.  And sure enough, we were able to accomplish this difficult task which turned out to be a great success!  Like it wasn’t going to be anyway…

The Motorola XOOM found itself in a full page ad which we deemed far too removed from Irina Shayk, but the Thunderbolt sure opened up in a 2-page spread somewhere near Peter Island and Brooklyn Decker’s section.  Neither ad includes a release date, but we’re still holding out for the 24th.  And now you have an excuse to go buy this issue.  (Like you needed one?)

Tbolt spot after the break.  

And if you don’t feel like picking up the actual magazine to view the ladies, SI’s site is ready.

If anyone watched the Big Bang Theory tonight, you probably saw our little green friend appear in an extended video chatting scene, planted firmly on Sheldon’s desk as he video chatted with some chick.  I know it’s not a “DROID”, but still fun to see, especially on the day when the mainstream media tried their hardest to make it sound like that other phone’s availability on Verizon mattered.

Cheers Jamie!

An unmarked DROID Incredible made a quick appearance on The Office last night and we couldn’t let it go un-posted.  If you jump to the 7:00 mark in the video below, you can see our family member in action from a gas station.  

Cheers Mike and Chris!

DROID Incredible Makes Brief Gas Station Appearance on The Office is a post from: Droid Life

It has been a while since a DROID family member made any sort of new appearance, but last night on Fox’s Lie to Me, we were treated to almost  two full minutes of DROID X action.  I’m not about to admit to know what’s going on, but will instead refer you to Hulu to watch for yourselves.

Oh, and one more pic after the break.  

Cheers Shawn and John!

DROID X Makes Lengthy “Lie to Me” Appearance is a post from: Droid Life

This isn’t a complete joke, although we couldn’t help but laugh the entire time we watched it.  We’re talking about the trailer for Scream 4…speechless, right?  They are actually remaking the movie AGAIN, featuring almost the exact same cast of characters that managed to run and scream their way through enough bad reviews to warrant some sort of cult status.  There is one bright spot though, and that would be the star of the film.  At least that’s what we’re calling him…the OG DROID.  At some point in the movie, he makes an appearance although it looks like it might be right before someone dies.  Sad.

Original DROID Stars in Scream 4 is a post from: Droid Life

We’ve already featured a couple of Droid X appearances in OnStar commercials and print ads, but somehow missed this one.  The commercial is called “Show Off” and features a guy using his DX and OnStar app to remotely check out his car before giving it up to his lady friend who is off to have a “girl’s weekend.”

OnStar “Show Off” Commercial Also Stars DROID X is a post from: Droid Life

The Droid Snowbot commercial has  been updated again, only this time mentions the Droid 2 Global instead of the original Droid 2.  We sort of knew this was coming after watching Verizon swap out the Droid X in the last spot for the Droid Pro.  I mean, all they had to do was change one word in the end of the video plus toss in a new voice-over.  Give their marketing department credit for this Swiss Army Knife commercial.

DROID Snowbot Commercial Updated to Include DROID 2 Global is a post from: Droid Life

This whole not wanting to officially recognize the Droid 2 Global thing is starting to get silly.  In this new ad which I just pulled from this month’s Details, Verizon introduces the Droid Pro (our review) to the family as the new global beast, only the D2G is also pictured without a mention  Now, I think we all understand that they made a mistake by launching the original Droid 2 and are trying not to piss off the massive amounts of people that bought it just 3 months ago, but this phone could be a huge hit with its global capabilities and powerful 1.2GHz processor.  Not to mention that the keyboard crushes the OG’s and the OGD2′s…weirdos.

Oh, the Droid X is also featured.  Nice to see the big dog still holding his own after 5 months of life in the wild.

That’s also our third Droid appearance in one day.  Here and here.

Motorola’s Entire DROID Lineup Makes Another Print Appearance is a post from: Droid Life

Just this morning we featured a new “DROID DOES FRANCE” advertisement for our global family members and only hours later, we have another.  This time, the Droid 2 Global and Droid Pro (our review) take on Kenya in a way that your passport can’t.  Funny right?  I wonder what country we’ll see pop up next?

More Droid appearances here!

Cheers Tato!

DROID 2 Global Also Does Kenya! is a post from: Droid Life

I’m not exactly sure where this ad  came from, but you can see that the new print ad campaign for the Droid 2 Global and Droid Pro is in full swing.  ”DROID does France” is the latest in a string of global inspired ads hoping to help Android grab the spotlight on the business front from some of the other global smartphones currently on the market.  It would have been nice to see these devices on the small screen, but you can guess that the budget for Droid phones ran out back with the Droid X and the huge campaign attached to it.

Make sure to keep up with the rest of our Droid Appearances!

Cheers Droid Life app tipster!

“DROID Does France” in New DROID 2 Global Ad is a post from: Droid Life

The Droid X continues to be included alongside the new OnStar app and thanks to all of you, we’re keeping track of it.  We first saw it in a new OnStar commercial followed by a 2-page print ad, and now we’re seeing it at the L.A. Auto Show as a blown up version of itself.  How can you not love seeing a 3-foot tall DX in action?   If any of you are in the L.A. area, head over to the GM section of the auto show and see one for yourself.

And don’t forget to keep submitting any and all Droid appearances!

Cheers Danny!

Giant DROID X Takes Over L.A. Auto Show is a post from: Droid Life

I know this has nothing to do with the “DROID” brand and that HTC EVO talk is usually saved for our other site, but we received so many emails about the appearance of an Android phone in last night’s episode of Fringe that we had to at least acknowledge it.  Going forward though, these non-Droid appearances will be up over at Android Life.

So early thoughts were that this was either an Incredible or a Droid X, but if you are able to capture a still of the device sitting on this nightstand, you can see a little Sprint logo in the top corner meaning this is definitely an EVO.  Not a Droid Appearance, but man, you guys were on top of this one.  Be sure to keep sending these in!

Here are the rest of our Droid appearances.

Watch the episode here.

Cheers Ben, Lewis, Dave, Don and Jake!
