it's not like 500 million people are using a high-quality device like Galaxy S3.
Sure, they don't have the latest greatest shiny, but so what? Its still market penetration, and unlike people just chasing shiny toys, they're looking for tools. And that's what they now have, a powerful tool that almost entirely everything the s3 does.
It doesn't have the most powerful graphics, and that userbase might mean targeting a lower API level. Thats about it.
I really don't see where you're going with that statement.

If there are two operating systems, and one is sold exclusively with a high-quality device, and the other is sold very cheaply with shitty phones, then when the latter's manufacturer says "we have 500 million devices running our OS" everyone is going to go "well, duh!"
- nmridul 14y agoThat is 500 million potential users who would use google for search, use picasa to upload their photos or even Use Google Drive to store their data and Use Google+ for networking. The mobile internet is well developed and affordable to even common man in most of the Asian countries. And for a service like Google+, the it makes sense to have more people on the network.
