Google probably noticed the bevy of unlicensed Android merchandise out there and decided to get themselves a piece of the pie. So now the Google store is packed with Android merchandise including bike jerseys, stickers, kids clothes and these t-shirts, one of which will show you how a corporate mascot handles a skateboard.

American Eagle is running a promotion from July 21st to August 3rd that offers a free smartphone to everyone that tries on a pair of jeans (with a two year service activation of course).
Following in the footsteps of the exploded iPad and iPhone is exploded Andy, which gives you a look at all of the components Google required in order to give Android’s corporate mascot the right stuff. It even looks like they took a trip to Oz to nab this Tin Man a heart. The design is available as the poster shown above, or as the t-shirt pictured after the break.
Chris and Madeleine Ball created a t-shirt which incorporates an Arduino Lilypad, Bluetooth dongle, and an Android phone to send the number of unread emails in their inbox to the shirt, which will show up as illuminated LEDs via conductive threads. The shirt has 7 LEDs and can display up to 127 new messages. For most of us, 126 of those will be spam.
If you want to try and make one of your own, check out the project page to obtain the source code that runs on the Lilypad and the python script.

In addition to giving you the power make a call, check your email and ignore a friend on Facebook, Google may now hold dominion over your wallet and car keys thanks to the existence of an Android Robot plush bag. Granted, this example was created as a one-of-a-kind birthday gift, but the Android logo falls under creative commons from Google—so the idea is up for grabs. That means the little green men who invade Earth will be of our own making. Didn’t expect that one…
Tired of Apple and AT&T’s oppressive restrictions? Android is like a divorced dad that sleeps around and doesn’t care too much about what you do. Will it be a stable family life with more rules or a crazy life with more freedom? If you choose the latter, these buttons are for you.

They have their hands in everything else, why not software that creates sentient robots? I mean “Android?” Cellphones are just the beginning.
