Extremely interesting points. I wonder how the rest of the Google ecosystem factors in. For instance, they are making what appears to be a pretty hard move into productivity apps (Docs + Gmail). This is a potentially lucrative market, although I doubt they're making much money yet. These things seem to be able to move from the consumer space to the enterprise (a la the iPhone). So is a subsidy at this point worthwhile in the hope that widespread device adoption will drive business for the productivity offerings, in addition to music and video sales? I really don't know. Interesting to watch, though.
