Is Google really "winning" with Android (example in the article)? Sure, they have more smartphone deployments, but are they even earning any money with it? Most likely nowhere near what Apple makes in that market.

This article (http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/05/03/with-8-8-market-share-apple-has-73-of-cell-phone-profits/ http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/05/03/with-8-8-market-share...), though a bit outdated, show how insanely lopsided this market is: Apple has 8.8% of the market of worldwide mobile phones, yet makes 73% of the profit pool. (An interesting note: Apple + Samsung combined make 99% of the profit pool)!
