The problem with the logic is that Nokia would have definitely been better off selling only tires rather than phones. As far as I know, the company they spun off, Nokian, actually MAKE money selling the tires. Incidentally they're the only winter tires I've used on my personal cars for the past 17 years.

I don't see the cross-over point on the horizon where Google will start making more from Android than it does from iOS. The development costs associated with Android are going to continue to eat a huge chunk of dollars, while the income from iOS comes pretty much for free - a few million paid to Apple for the privilege of being the default search engine.
