http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/15/android-costs/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/15/android-costs/ tl;dr the point of Android is so Google can put their ads on it. To that extend it is already a success given that google mobile ads were banned on the iphone and probably will be too on BB and windows mobile and that android phones are already outselling the iphones (all together, which is all that matters to Google).
