It said google made money from android. How do they make money from android?

  Every time a user types a web search on an Android phone, they see Google ads and may click on them. I would guess that's the only way they make money from Android, but they probably make a ton that way.

    That happens on iPhones too though.

      Google pays Apple a fortune for that privilege. I remember hearing the deal was around $300,000,000 / year (but I could be wrong). With Android, Google makes total profit.

    What about the Android phones [1] that use Bing, instead of Google? I'm quite confused as to what the Google Mobile Strategy is right now. I wonder if they pay any less to be the default search option on a Android Phone than they do on an iPhone.
