Android costs are insignificant for Google
At a recent Google press conference on the company's second-quarter financial results, a question was asked about how much Google was spending on supporting the platform.
Chief Financial Officer Patrick Pichette said that Android costs are insignificant for Google, since not only Google is involved in developing the platform, and devices for the platform are developed only by third-party manufacturers.
It was also noted that Android is developing very dynamically. For example, there are 70 thousand applications in the Android Market, whereas in April there were 30 thousand.

Jonathan Rosenberg, senior vice president of product management, said that the number of search queries from mobile devices is growing. In the first half of 2010 alone, the number of search queries for Android increased by 300%, and contextual advertising in search is one of the most important sources of income for Google. However, on the question of profit, Rosenberg responded that Google is now more focused not on making profits from the platform, but on its development.
