Google have been certainly pushing their Android OS on a number of smartphones in 2009, but the biggest launch has to be the Motorola Droid, which was released on the Verizon network yesterday. We often wonder if Google favors any of the handsets, and it seems that they do.

According to Google Watch, the search engine giant showed advertising on its home page underneath its search bar saying “New! The Droid is on sale now. “They also had a button on the top right, which looked a lot like a software download button.

Search Engine Land then asked the question if this is in fact an “advertisement for Motorola and the Droid phone.” Google Watch did not hang about with its answers, simply saying “Hell Yea.” There is something good to come from all this though, as the Droid will be the one phone to help save Motorola from becoming like one of its old handsets and falling down the back of a couch.

Google certainly have some high hopes for the Droid as it is the first cell phone to feature Android 2.0 OS. They have also included its free Google Maps Navigation GPS service. With Google putting its weight behind Droid we should see some strong sales on the build up to the shopping season.

The Motorola Droid was not the only Android smartphone released yesterday, there was also the HTC Eris. In a recent post what put the two handsets side-by-side to see which cell phone was the best option for you.
