Ask HN: Does Google make money from Android yet?
1 points| bruceboughton | 15 years ago | reply
Pardon my naiveté but does Google make money from Android yet? I know it's supposed to be a play to keep them in the mobile ads market, but didn't they just buy a mobile ad company?
What revenue sources does Android provide and are there any figures available?
I'm thinking: - mobile ads - licensing agreements from device manufacturers (I know it's open, but I seem to remember rumours of some payments) - direct Nexus One sales

Google's Android bet is paying off spectacularly--not just in terms of smartphone market-share but financially, according to Eric Schmidt at the Techonomy conference
