Well, If you’re a developer then you can get that information aboubt Android on the Android site. But if you’re interested in the history of Android, how much Google may have paid for the platform and its hypothetical outlook, you can read this long Wired article.

According to Nielsen Mobile Google already has a commanding lead in mobile search:

  1. Google (61%)
  2. Yahoo! (18%)
  3. MSN (5%)

One could thus argue that Google doesn’t need Android to succeed to win in mobile. Indeed, there are tough competitors and skeptics that Google faces there: “frenemy” Apple, Nokia and ambivalent or even hostile US carriers.

While Google has made a big, very public bet on Android, it can afford to take a long-term view of mobile. Unlike a startup with limited funding Google could wait a decade for Android to pay dividends. And by then mobile search will almost certainly have surpassed the desktop in volume, if not in monetization.
