Simple math. Rubin claimed that Google has made $2.5 B in mobile advertising. Their court documents claim that they've received $500 M from Android. If that's all advertising, then Android accounted for 20% of Google's mobile advertising - with iOS being most of the rest.
I see. I thought iOS users were smarter than that. Why do they click on so many ads?
Android overall is basically bottom of the barrel, fragmented junk made for economically disadvantaged people, many of whom secretly dream about owning Apple devices.
When I see the average person with an Android device, I see a person who is not very tech savvy, I see a person who is cheap and I see a person who is using an outdated device running an outdated OS. That is the majority of Android users. If you happen to be an Android user and the above doesn't apply to you, then don't bother replying to me, as you do not represent the majority. You are an extremist and I don't care about you, as you represent a statistical minority.
Android is such damn garbage, it is worse than bloody awful. Is it any surprise that Google makes 80% from iOS and only 20% from Android? Android users are so damn cheap. Apple users appreciate great technology, and Apple users put their money where their mouths are. Android users are a bunch of freeloading cheapskates who are extremely unwilling to open up their wallets. An app store is not sustainable when your clients are either cheap as hell or from third world countries where people make a few peanuts in wages every day. That my friends is Android, it's a complete freaking nightmare.
An Apple site jumping the gun once again on any apparently negative news about Android. You guys talk a lot more about Android than Android sites talk about Apple.
Blah, blah, blah
Unless Google is lying to minimise potential damages payable to Oracle.
Maybe the SEC should step in to find out why Google is investing so much in return for so little.

Who says they click on ads? It could be simply Google's charge for displaying the ads, not click-through revenue.
Maybe but if no one is clicking on the ads, the advertisers are paying a lot of money for very few conversions.
On the other hand, my measly little Google adSense properties only work with clicks, but I still earn a surprising amount from stray accidental clicks on text only ads so I'm happy if people keep clicking on them regardless of how dumb it might be.

Or Android users do not rely on their tech to define them. Based on your little rant, your world revolves around the phone in your hand and your judgment of others revolves around theirs. I weep for our future. I hope you do not have any real responsibility in life.
A troll user with one post who signed up just today; magically appears out of the blue to defend Google/Android.
Actually, I don't agree that he is a troll user. He had a very reasoned argument about the numbers. And when you take the numbers into account, the headline deserves a comment, at least: the operative verb in the headline is "earns"; accurate reporting should be "earned."
Maybe Google should just $hit can Android altogether if they aren't making much money from it.
500 Mil? Not much money? You do realize just because a company does not make as much money as Apple they are no considered failures? A profit is a profit, people are employed, money is coming in. Sounds pretty good. Unless of course the whole world can be run on iPods, iPhones, iPads and Mac's???? Hard to ride my iPad to work, eat my Mac for lunch.

Though obviously that kind of news is designed to delight iOS users, one wonders... heading into the trial with Oracle, it would be in their interest to make the Android revenues as small as possible. I wonder if those numbers are trustworthy.

Revenue is not profit. If you take his comment unsarcastically and view it in regards to all of the money Google has poured into Android, then he's saying 500mil may not make Google much money.

To make any money is worth pursuing, it is employing people.
In other word's if you don't want to use it as just a feature phone.
If you dont want to use Gmail, the Apps market and any other google products you never have to register. You can still install apps from other sources, load amazon app market, use other email protocols such as imap, pop3 or exchange.

When you first turn an Android device on and run through the set up process it asks you to log into a Google account or set one up.
I've done it hundreds of times when selling cheap, crappy PAYG android phones.
$750 million for AdMob, something smells fishy.
It will ask you but its not required. However if you want to download anything from the market then you will have to.

Enough said. If my 14 year old had that attitude I would consider myself a massive failure.

Hello? Anybody home?
What are you blabbering on about?
To make any money is worth pursuing, it is employing people.
You, my friend, need to understand something about "cost of capital."
