Android robot pops up in iPad app ad (updated)

tagged , , ,

Easter eggs are fun, aren’t they? This one is a bit random, but everyone’s favorite green robot can be seen in an iPad spot for an app about the history of Sweden. We’re not entirely sure why they decided to do this, but its amusing nevertheless.

Continue after the break to watch the spot.

Update: It appears some of you have taken offense with my title. I should clarify that Mr. Andy pops up in an advertisement for the app itself, not an actual iPad ad. Perhaps I should have been more specific, so for that I apologize.

    Bad headline. THis isn’t an iPad ad, it’s an ad for an App (that App happens to only be available, CURRENTLY, on iPad).

    While there’s an Android robot in there…there’s also a guy locked in prison, which is the Apple mascot :)

    I think that it’s Switzerland’s army,isn’t it?

    FWIW, the app was about Switzerland, not Sweden.

    Yeah guys come on…

    1: It’s Switzerland
    2: It’s the app of the official national broadcaster
    3: They say why they did it, they also cover android platforms and I recommend their stupid videos at http://www.youtube.com/swissinfovideos
