Google and Android Revenues

Flashback: Google has stated its target of $10 revenue per Android device per year. As BI states it, even if Google gets $ 6.5 per device, the Android revenue base will be $1.4 billion considering the 215 million users. A recent Horace Dediu analysis reported that out of the entire content sales from Google Play (former Android Marketplace), five percent can be booked as revenues for Android. Also Apple’s App Store and Google Play hold the top spot in any app market.

But Now, Android is Craving For Google’s Attention

Google suddenly lost it attention on Android. Many users are finding it hard to locate good apps in Google Play store, App makers are feeling lost, and it’s been seven months since Google made any major announcement about Android. We know Google is settling its Android related code infringement issues with Oracle and according to figures revealed last week as part of a proposed settlement in the case, Google is generating more revenue from licensing the apps and products on iOS devices than what it gets from Android. Was this the reason?

But anyway as Android fans believe it, Google is never going to leave the OS which brought the company $543 million in a period of 3 years.
