How will Google make money from Android?

Android is clearly the top smartphone OS, going by numbers. The velocity at which the operating system has grabbed marketshare has clearly taken most people at Apple Inc., Microsoft Inc. etc. by surprise. However, when we dig a little deeper and take a look at the revenues/profits made by Android (For Google in particular and for the OEM’s otherwise), the numbers don’t look all that cozy.

Yes!!! – The Post PC era has started and why I doubt the PC World report

Vikash is wrong and Oh yes!!! The Post PC era has started, and Apple is leading us very quickly into this era. With the evolution of  iPad, the iPhone and a number of Android smartphones and tablets, there is not a shadow of doubt that the post PC era has started. PC World  reports that the PC sales are expected to rebound in 2012 and that there is still a lot of scope left for the PC and I doubt.
