So apparently there's a new Verizon/Google electronic device thing coming out. I only know this because I just saw the ad for it. In the aforementioned ad, there are stealth fighters (which look sort of like Nighthawks), dropping silly stealth-themed bombs all over the country. In the atmosphere, they look very similar to ODST drop pods. They slammed into the ground, and onlookers investigated, at which point the little pods (they aren't actually anywhere near as big as drop pods) would open and let the viewer at home catch a glimpse of the product, at which point the name of the product was given (I can't remember what it's called) as well as the release date (which I also can't remember), which was presented something like "Product X, dropping 12-5-09".

Dunno if anyone else has seen it, but it seems like Google and Verizon are taking an awful lot of cues from ODST, dontcha think?
