アンドロイド

Very cute mascot. But alas, I have no iPhone. And doubt I ever will unless I get given one as a birthday/xmas gift or something.

AH~~!
ANDROID PHONE STRAPS!!! - I'm VERY interested in getting one - Wait... will this somehow become another giveaway???

I've been aiming my next phone to be Android based - Im starting to hate Symbian (Nokia user here)

do they have another model and color ??

owww ^w^ interesting .. I understand this will be nice for mobile devices ..

however this baby will take years to mature

hmm, my eyes were not immediately draw to aoi's eyes. crazy.

Those phone straps look interesting, would be fun to be waltzing down the street with one of those on.

looks cute ^^

I'd love an Android!

He looks like some other character though... FF9's Quina?

Seem like a good mobile OS. Will try it out when it's available here locally.

Hah~! I saw bakagamiku fooling around with Aoi's extra eyes... XD

Very interested yes... though it'll prolly take long 'till I get an Android phone.
Or maybe an iPhone, I still can't decide between both, mainly because none of them are actually worth getting in Brazil yet.

I'm keeping my SE dumbphone for now. Internet rates for cellphone are still way too expensive here...

My Mikuru's left eye was also displaced when I first got her. I only used blutack to affix it after I removed the glue. works quite well, haven't had to glue it permanently ever since.

Cutie! Me wantsu! Any chance to pick one at TFS? o(゜∇゜*o)～♪

Awwu, that's awesome!

I would love one, but alas, there's nowhere to hang it on my iPhone ;A;

Why can't we get cool marketing bits like that here in the US? I'm waiting for my contract to run out so I can dump WinMo for Android, but am already working on some apps of my own. Java > ObjC any day, and with Apple shooting itself in the foot lately with app approvals Android seems the way to go. WebOS is pretty, but I'm not sure Palm has the the legs to stand up against a free, open source OS.

Danny... this one would be perfect on my google developer day android phone ^_^
(I totally plus elmimmo's idea : )

Don't have iPhone yet. Thinking to have this one too as well..

i can see there is a loooong list ^_^ Where do i sing in ?

I have an Android phone and I find the OS simply fantastic! However it has to be tweaked in some aspects in the next releases... The store is full of apps more or less like the Apple Appstore it has nothing to envy and users didn't had to wait more than three OS releases before getting things like copy-paste functions and MMS (in Italy we still have SMS and MMS, no e-mail yet) and, much more important, it's completely integrated with the online Google Apps, YAY FOR NATIVE CALENDAR SYNC!
Btw... Yes, I want that strap :/

Looking great. Both of them.

Hmmm i'm not sure i've heard of this Android OS. But i have heard about symbian.

I'm not a PDA phone user as i don't really need one. But i am a phone strap and accessories collector and that little green droid would make a great addition to my ever growing collection.

Also to hear that it's from the "Good Smile Company" makes it even more special, so if you could kindly give me some directions on how to get my hands on some of those.....heheheheh:P

By the way does it come in other colors too??? :)

I stil wait for the Panasonic's and/or NEC's Android phone rom Yokosuka Research Park. ^^'

Do want Android phone strap! ^__^

I would like to get one xD

I have a G1 Android phone!!! I am hoping that G1 becomes a bigger hit in Japan so there will be more cool apps for it!!!!

Do not need?

I would like one for my future Android phone.

I should try my hand at developing an app, from what I seen the API is pretty straight forward.

"I need to remove the excessive glue that came around her eye."

This sentence right here, comes with many meanings.

super interested in kawaii phone strap! would look great on my DSi!

Cute mascot! I want one! ^o^

I like the mascot design, it's very simple but it conveys the message well... plus it's adorable.

I think the idea for phones to have a common operating system is great, then the software and apps would be available for everyone.

The question is, will they get everyone on board with this?

I would love one of those mascots... if I had an Android phone! But alas I just use a cheap old Sony Ericsson wherever there isn't wifi to use Skype on my iPod Touch.

Thats a pretty cool little key or phone chain. I like how you guys made the legs of side ways. Different design. I like. ^^

I love the idea of Google making a Smartphone OS, but I wonder about it's 3rd party backing. The reason I want an iPhone is because of it's 3rd party support, if Android doesn't have at least a small base off which to work I'll be a bit put-off.

I want one of those straps. Too bad my ADP1 doesn't have a place to stick it to :(

why is it made in china Oo wer might get potion to death...lol

It's cute!

Wow... why don't we have those kinds of mascots around here? XD They have mascots for everything in Japan! Google x Good Smile Company, eh? Lots of collaborations with the companies you're involved with ^_^

android... phone strings... from good smile...? Post how we can purchase these NAOW!!

Would definitely be interested in an Android phone strap ^^

Took me a moment but then I saw what was wrong with her eye. It was placed wrong, needs to come down a bit ^^;

I need that especially because it's made by good smile.

i like that strap! can i have one? ^^
when i read the title of this article, i thought android has entered japan, or has it?
i've been wanting to get my hand on any android phone, please let us (me) know if it's in japan already :)

that's an awesome android strap. i have the g1 and it doesn't have a strap placement...unless i'm blind. it would make a great key chain though.

i'm a android game developer and i have so far released 3 games. developing for the android market is pretty great. yes, it's a bit small right but there's so much more potential for upcoming indie game/app developers to get noticed by the world.

I want the little mascot phone straps kawaii! And Harro Aoi chan~ hisashiburi~ ^o^

May I please have a android phone charm Danny?

You could give me one as a bday present....

lol....

Interesting, it would be nice if there was some iPhone support.

The mascot is adorable! I foresee myself sticking with an iPhone forever thanks to ease of use with OSX, but I'd love one of those straps. ^^

In my office we actually got a bet running when google will release it's "real" OS!!

Gonna be interested in how Japanese keitai makers will make android work with their Japan-only stuff. There's quite a few android-based keitais out or on the way too.

iPhone + Android = fun combination =P

But Is it only green? My Android-san phone is blue!!

I would love one of these! I have an Android G1 and I love it! I'm waiting for the Hero next!

hmm~
Currently busy learning to create application for android....
>>>hmm...need to get an Android mobile....maybe HTC HeRO?
O~ want that strap so much...
Hei wait! I can attach that strap on my HTC, like iPhone, there is no where to attach that!
hmmm~ why there arent strap ring(is that how you call that?) for these expensive "smart" phone?
A drop of these phones would cost a few more arms and legs.... hmmm

Me love an Android-kun.

I'll pay postage/send a jar of vegemite/or send Aussie trinkets for it.

kawaii mascot XD

Hm wonder if I should get the G1 or iphone now...

d'awww that's so cute~ <3 <3 <3

may i ask if i could have one? ^____^

Aww, the phone strap is adorable XD I'd like one *_*

That's cool... to bad my Android phone (HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1) doesn't have a hole for a phone strap ;_;

Aww, why can't Windows Mobile have a neat little mascot? Is there a Windows Mobile-tan, I wonder?

aww I want the mascot phone strap too, it looks so cool!!

Love my new android phone, got the HTC Dream, and the OS is great...
only thing is, for simple users who don't know too much bout the tech stuff, i would suggest the iphone (even tho i hate them myself, they are simplier for some to use), but if you're more versed in the tech and programs and such and know how to do stuff with your computers that most others wouldn't (i'm talking useful and interesting stuff) then you'd probably find the android OS very nice also. it just takes a but more learning to do the really cool stuff

Very cute keychain. Don't have an I-phone yet, so I am completely oblivious to having apps.

Wish I had a phone with the Android OS on it. That'll way the Android keychain can compliment it. It sucks that my cell provider doesn't have anything awesome like iPhone or Android OS. Makes me want to change providers.

WOW! the android mascot is very cute!
I would love to have one.

Sorry for disapointment but Symbian vs android = symbian is the winer .Symbian vs window mobile = both are .But the best is still symbian .Android is make by linux/google and open source is using a old programing code . Read all about it in this website

interesting. an going to go find out more soon!

android is even cooler than SE newest OS on my C901 .Less crap and less nonsentical application .Kind of loving it but i still love most is yahoo than google and symbian on my phone better for now .maybe i will get one who knows

Android is the way to go! ^^

I usually dont give a crap about the programming side of os-es as long as it is 'beautiful'. Both vista and osx are beautiful in its own way... it all comes down to preference. I am both a osx and vista user so i say this from experience.

Anyways back to topic, android will be a fresh new exciting opportunity for the world of mobile computing and hasn't really got its chance to flex its muscle so lets just wait and see. Symbian has been here for some time and to be frank its damn BORING! At least its boring for me and i would definitely look forward for some change in Android.

P.S I would definitely love to get my hands on that ANDROID PHONE STRAP xp

Better fix that Dolfie quick , its starting to give me the Bajeebees .

Its good that Good Smile Company has a wide variety of products ^_^.

Would love one they look great, I've been torn between the iphone and a Android enabled phone for a while now and still have yet to completely decide although I'm going in favour of the iphone at the moment because of the better hardware.

Mascot looks awesome. Would love one of those, hehe. ^^;

Mmmmm, would like this little phone strap in my collection of all things cool.

www.findingtokyo.com

its nice, but i dont use phone straps. they feel odd somehow.

I've got a Android phone. I mean a G1. I think its a really good phone and lots of the apps are free.:D The only problem with my phone is that there's no Bluetooth and the camera don't zoom in, but then again there's an app for that.

Which left EYE Do you mean? ^^''

Well, I have a phone with a spot for a strap, and I'd wear it proundly.

Not to mention, Android is pretty sweet.

I wonder why Japan has all these mascot type characters I've never heard of. I never heard of a mascot for Android. Maybe it's just that this site is probably the only one I visit where someone has contacts within a company and talks about it.

I welcome our Google overlords.

Seriously though, I think Android's the greatest thing on the market right now. Totally open mobile OS=awesome.

Looking at the interface .Preety cool .Since the new OS is up for SE i wonder should i continue to support SE or shouldnt i .i mean look at C901 OS . Gosh terible piece of crap .Hope that it wont take much space .All i want for a hP os preety simple ,A good camera,big talk time and stand by time .Coz i enjoy taking photos on the go,using internet on the go and etc .Now of these days Sony is getting a lots of crap did my research especially on C901 and the latest IDOU . So since SE wants to use android and spit loads of crap well im so goin back to nokia .Hoping that android will be the best and SE to spit less nonsentical stuff ever again . Then i may reconsider for SE

I've gotta say. That is one cool looking mascot. Along with the dog (^_^)

Awww can you get me a mascot? =D, i actually own a G1 with the Android haha such a nice phone

I had the G1 (until it was stolen QQ), and I thought the Android platform was amazing. I'd be interested in the Android cellphone charm :D

I thought maybe it was a shadow on Aoi-chan's eye... I'm sure she has been poking you in arm and pointing at her eye. ^^

I would like an Android mascot. Maybe as a contest giveaway? I can't pass up on something made by Good Smile...

busty mascot indeed :p

O: that's so cooooooool! It looks so cute and seems (from the video) to be pretty capable.. mmm.. i must look into this more!

Cool, I like it.

Aoi-chan looks so lovely and serious with that little charm. :)
If I had a phone with the Android OS (which I don't) or at least a phone that could support a phone strap (which I also don't..) (laaame...) I would totally snag one of those little mascots.
