Android is very popular in a lot of poor countries which means it's not going to make much money as the IPhone. Even in the US, Android is more popular in the lower-income demographics. However, smartphones could be life-changing for poor people. They probably won't be able to afford a computer but an Android phone for under $100 is within their reach. Poor people with smartphones mean they have access to more information and will be able to communicate easier. I've read stories about how basic phones with SMS empowered people in poor countries. They could do much more with smartphones. So if everything is about the money, yeah, Android is definitely losing.
