Android Statue Ready for Halloween but Dog May be Dead

The Google Android statue outside the Googleplex, affectionately called BugDroid, is ready for Halloween with its pirate costume while being surrounded by its release update treats of Cupcake, Donut, & Eclair, but not his trusty dog Alex.

The BugDroid dog Alex is still missing or perhaps now pronounced dead as there is a tombstone in his spot.

The statue was also called Mike & Droid, but Droid is now becoming more synonymous with the upcoming Verizon Android phone series that launches on November 6th a week from today.

Of course the iPhone fanboys are out showing their love of big brother Apple in costume which is strikingly similar to Hero costume Michael Arrington of TechCrunch had back in August.

I still feel the costume to beat is the Halloween 2008 Android costume Gabe McGuinness of Grand Rapids Michigan created last year which seemed to have done well with the ladies as it came loaded with a chic magnet application versus the cumbersome iPhone costume above.

Happy Halloween everyone as the Android treats will continue on!
