I am already seeing mainstream ads or it. I am also seeing product placement on some shows after the oscars more visibly. They have the new 'Smoked by Windows Phone' web ads coming out and soon will have them on TV. So yes, finally ads. Also, Nokia is putting in funding for retail sales. Currently most of this is outside the US but T-Mobile has the TV ads now and ATT will soon have retail incentives as well. Coupled with a Zune passm, it pretty solidly fills my needs.
I suspect one reason you are not seeing a lot of information on WP8 is MS doesn't wish to distract from Nokia's ad campaigns or discussion of Windows 8 at his time.
