Google documents show hopes for big gains in non-search revenue >> guardian.co.uk
In case you haven't seen it:
Other documents entered as evidence come from an internal July 2010 presentation given by Rubin. They reveal that the company got advertising revenue of just $16.8m from Android handsets in 2009, but by mid-year of 2010 that had grown to $132.1m from ads on the fast-growing handset market – though Apple devices such as the iPhone and iPad using Google's search and maps generated $281m, or more than twice as much in total.


Useful ammunition for anyone renegotiating a deal with Google; these detailed internal figures are less than two years old. Apple's success for Google is two-edged: Google has to pay a substantial sum back in revenue share, making iOS devices less valuable to the bottom line than Android handsets.
