Google has taken the fate of its Android smartphone platform into its own hands by promoting and directly marketing HTC’s latest new Android phone under its own brand. How does the new “superphone” stack up to last summer’s iPhone 3GS?

AT&T has tipped the scales of ironic behavior by dumping Tiger Woods, apparently because it doesn’t want to be represented by a figure who cheats his partner and screws anyone willing to sign up for service.

Perhaps the company should have instead signed up Woods as its primary spokesperson. Who else could better explain that while AT&T can’t really be trusted about what it promises, it’s still pretty good at what it does in terms of speed and technique. Luke Wilson is less convincing in saying that AT&T’s 3G is the faster and more world-savvy than Verizon’s.
