What's interesting is that Dell just dumped their Android smartphones, Google makes more money from ad revenue from iOS than Android. I wonder if Google has their heads screwed on correctly. If Google was smart, they would either have to dump Android or start charging $15 to $20 a head in order to make it worthwhile continuing development.
What's even funnier is that a recent article showed that Google makes 80% of its mobile ad revenue from iOS. The fandroid community was trying to spin it as a victory for Google.
The reality is that Apple is slowly gutting iOS from Google so in the not too distant future Apple will have jettisoned Google services from it and they will be in a position to scratch their heads and wonder where the heck they will get they new mobile revenue.
Android's a joke. A big parking lot of advertising billboards. Such a mess.

I'm hoping Apple comes out with their own mapping software in the not so distant future so all the iOS devices will have that instead of Google Maps.
I don't know what I was thinking, but I actually bought an Android device a few months ago to add another line to my account. Biggest mistake ever. It was so annoying downloading apps, then all of a sudden receiving all these notifications from dating sites to viagra on a daily basis. I returned to phone and got another iPhone 4s.
I just wondered. Guess I can get off my lazy index finger and go check out the link. Looks like I was right and you rounded down. Philip quotes Horace as saying $576.30. Your rounding error left off $1.30 or an equivalent of 76% of Googles revenues. :-) I love owning Apple stock!

according to the article, the 575 doesn't include revenue from the App Store, iTunes, iBookstores, etc.

i guess Google's revenue can be compared to a rounding error
I'm in the fetal position with no self esteem now....
Now that's funny!
... and, on topic, what the hell is with that "point change" column? that's useless as hell. how about a percentage change column (whoops... Squirrel beat me to it!)
Android may be be bit shit, but I don't really see it as a mistake at least in concept. Google were right to try and protect themselves as they will get marginalised by mobile, but execution was ho-hum.
It's difficult to see how Windows Phone will gain any meaningful share. I feel that while Android may become toxic to OEMs, Windows Phones aren't really a viable option. Maybe Apple wins this one for good, and Android gets proper relegated to the low end.
Apple's iOS and Google's Android mobile platforms continued to grow over the last three months, accounting for 80.3 percent of the U.S. smartphone market.
It is always funny to see iOS riding on Android's coat tails in these headlines. Without Android, iOS wouldn't look quite so popular. Here's some alternatives:
iOS Captures less than a Third of Smartphone Market.
So nice watching Microsoft continue to lose market share. Funniest thing is all the propaganda about Nokia and how magically people are going to buy their Windows Phone clones when all the other Windows Phone clones have failed. How much more shareholder money is Microsoft going to piss away on this latest failed platform?
Anybody who would even consider a Windows phone is a complete idiot.
Picked up my Galaxy Note about 4 hours ago, LOVING it so far. Can't believe how small my 3GS is in comparison. Everything on this phone is so smooth. Don't understand why everybody hates on this OS.

I looked at one in a store this afternoon. The screen seems great for a portable web browser. It didn't feel WAY TOO HUGE to hold up to my ear - it fits in the palm of your hand, and landline phones are much bigger. A little big for the pocket tho.

Astonishing when you consider that Nokia's solution to their Symbian problem was to adopt Microsoft's phone OS...
Not was. Is. They are just now releasing their first phones.
There's no way, and there's no need to spin it. Just leave the numbers alone...
Some of us know math and want to see what the percentage change was. Hence why I did it. If you don't like it, don't read it.
Google makes only $1.70 a year per Android device.
Apple, by contrast, generated more than $575 for every iOS device it sold last year

They've announced the Samsung AdHub market.
